Sign-up Rules and Brackets
- The ranges for each bracket of play (in rankings and SR) are as follows:
- All who post will be checked by the end of sign-ups for your range (and obviously when I'm putting you in your brackets).
- Two days before sign-ups end will be when your bracket placement is locked in. At that point, even if you get enough pp to advance to a new bracket (eg. at 501K, you get enough to jump to 497K, you will still be locked into the 699-500K bracket). However, advancements before that point will be accounted for and you will be moved to the proper bracket.
-Players who sign up during this lock-in phase will also be subject to said lock-in as well.
-Any bracket that has one or zero participants will be removed. If a bracket has only one player, they will be given a one-time option to jump down to a lower bracket (eg. a single 499-300K player may jump to the 299-200K bracket). If this option is not taken, you will be removed alongside the bracket.
-Sign-ups officially end at 23:59 February 7th, 2023. Anyone who asks after this day will not be added.

Competition Rules
- The maps for each bracket will be posted on Sunday the 5th.
- Scores must be submitted or dated from 00:00 February 8th to 23:59 February 21st. That does mean you will need to re-do your score if you had one submitted previously.
- There is no limit to the number of scores you submit, so long as it is submitted on/after the 8th.
- Picture proof or a link to the score is required in this thread. It is also on you to ensure your links work and are updated. I can and will trawl for scores if absolutely necessary or if something janky happens, and if I find a broken link I will try to point it out, but I will not be doing so regularly.
- Players who have not submitted more than one score after the first week will be automatically DQ'd and may not re-enter. Repeat offenders will be barred from participating in future challenges. If you find out you can no longer participate or don't want to, please just let me know instead of ghosting. I have no problem with you requesting to leave at any time.
- All mods are available for use. However, be aware that using mods such as NF, HT, or SO to get "easy" SS's will mean you might lose on score tiebreaks.
- Points will be distributed based on the number of songs used in each bracket. 1st place will get 6 points with 6 songs, for example, 2nd 5, and so on. If there are more players than there are songs, those who fall outside of that number will not be given points.
--Using extra mods will not earn you extra points by itself. However, they can be used to aid you in score tiebreaks.
- If a player SS's a map, they will be given a bonus point.
- Tiebreaks will be broken down as follows, from top priority to lowest: Accuracy->score->timestamp.
--Example 1: Player A has a play with 93% acc., while Player B has 95%. In this scenario, Player B would win the map.
--Example 2: Player A and Player B both have 97% acc, but Player A has 8.5M points while Player B has 7.8M points. In this scenario, Player A would win the map.
--Example 3: Player A and Player B both SS the map, but Player B has 1,100 more points due to a faster spinner. In this scenario Player B would win.
--Example 4: Player A and Player B both SS the map and either have the same spinner points or the map has no spinner. However, Player A submitted their play one day before Player B. In this scenario, Player A would win.
- The player from each bracket with the most points wins.

Prizes
- The winner of each bracket will earn 1 month's Osu!Supporter from me.
- If a player SS's all their songs in their bracket, I will give them 2 months Supporter.
- Others are more than welcome to offer their own rewards to players if they so choose. However, if you are participating you may not offer a reward of any kind for the challenge. If there is enough support for it I may allow for rewards on brackets outside your own, but that remains to be seen.

Please do let me know if these are reasonable brackets. I'm also trying some different things for this one, but save the critique for after the challenge unless it's something really obvious. I'm hoping after running about 4-5 of these I'll have a points system and bracket ranges that are satsifactory, among other things.
Also, don't be afraid to advertise it to friends and elsewhere! It'll be a pain at times to get everything to look right, but I'm all for more participants.
