Welcome to Konoha
Thank you to everyone who has played, staffed and supported us for the last three iterations - especially to everyone who has recently supported and encouraged me to continue hosting! This iteration we have a new skin, new format, and new customs made especially for you, with love ♡
This year, we will be using a new custom skin designed by Aeshma
You can download the public version here and please consider checking out Aeshma's Twitter
The lovely logo design was designed by my favourite bear
I do apologize to everyone who has been anticipating this for all the delays
It's a miracle I didn't push this back longer
- An international osu!standard 3v3 tournament with a team size of 6 players
- Rank range of 7.5k - 35k BWS with no rank buffer
- BWS formula: rank^(0.9937^(badges^2)) - pending badges included. Badges that are not awarded from osu! standard tournaments (spotlight badges, other game modes) and medals do NOT count.
- Players must be within the rank range when registrations close
- Once registrations officially end, ranks will be locked and all players will be screened. An announcement will be sent in the Discord server to notify players when it is safe to farm out of range
- ALL IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS WILL BE MADE ON DISCORD FIRST - Forum posts and rules documents will take a longer time to update. For this reason...
- In order to make communication easier, all players are required to join the Discord server. If a player is NOT in the server, their registration will NOT count
This tournament will be in a draft style - a format in which captains take turns picking their roster from a pool of eligible players and competing against one another in a double-elimination bracket stage
Because this tournament is a draft tournament, we have outlined how the match procedure and draft will ideally go. You can click each tab to read the rules regarding the 3 phases of this tournament! If you have any questions or find that there are any inconsistencies, please do let us know and we will gladly clarify.
FREEMOD RULES
PHASE 1: REGISTRATION
- Players will sign up individually to play a qualifier lobby. This qualifier pool will determine who is eligible to participate in the draft
- The star rating (SR) for Individual Qualifiers will be 6.3* and the structure of it will be as follows: 4NM - 2HD - 2HR - 2DT
- All maps in the qualifier pool will be at approximately tiebreaker length
- Referees will make a lobby 15 minutes prior to the lobby time. The lobby will wait no longer than 10 minutes for all players to show up. If a player does not show up, they will have the option to reschedule
- Players will play through the whole mappool in order once. Players may not change the order to ensure fairness across the lobbies
- Players may choose to skip a map but their score will result in a 0
- Players are allowed a second runthrough of the pool. However, this will completely overwrite their first run and we will take these scores in consideration instead. Reschedules may be made in a separate lobby as long as it is before the qualifier deadline.
- Qualifier seeding will be calculated based on a player's average score
- If a player experiences technical problems during the map (e.g. tablet malfunction) within the first 30 seconds, only that player may replay the map at the end of the lobby
- You may schedule custom lobbies as early as you like but no later than July 18 @ 23 UTC
- Based on qualifier results, TOP 16 PLAYERS will be selected as temporary captains
- If a player seeds TOP 16 and ABSOLUTELY wishes to forfeit their captaincy before the draft starts, the player next in line (according to qualifier results) will be selected. If a willing player cannot be found, the captain will be chosen at the discretion of the host.
- Once all captains are confirmed, we will move into the draft phase
PHASE 2: DRAFT
- Captains will be given a chance to review the list of eligible players and their results prior to the official drafting
- The order in which captains are able to pick will be completely randomize - they will be made aware of this order prior to the draft so they are able to plan their roster ahead of time
- ALL CAPTAINS MUST BE AVAILABLE DURING THE DRAFT PERIOD. In the chance that a captain is not available during this time, please speak to an admin and we will get something sorted out
- The draft order will be as follows:
1. Captain 1, Captain 2, Captain 3, etc.
2. Captain 16 will pick 2 players and the order will continue to Captain 15, Captain 14, etc.
3. Captain 1 will pick 2 players and the order will continue back to Captain 2, Captain 3, etc.
4. Captains will pick until all rosters are filled
- Once teams are fully drafted, captains may hand off their captain status to another player in their team if they wish to do so
PHASE 3: BRACKET STAGE
- Teams will play then play a team qualifier pool in order to fairly determine seeding
- Bracket stages will begin at Round of 16 and move onto Grand Finals (with bracket reset if applicable)
- Score V2 and NF will be enforced on every map
- Captains will be pinged 15 minutes before their match time
- If more than half the team fails to show up 10 minutes after their match time, they will lose their ban. After 15 minutes, they will be considered forfeited
- Captains will roll and the winner of the roll will get to protect a map first. The loser of the roll will then get to protect a map afterwards
- The winner of the roll will then get to choose betweenban or pick order. The winner of the roll will then get to choose between banning or picking first/second. The loser of the roll will then get to choose the order of the defaulted option. The ban order is ABBA
- Teams will have 120 seconds to pick and ban maps. If a team fails to pick a map in 120 seconds, they lose their pick and the other player will get to choose. If a team fails to ban a map in 120 seconds, they lose their ban
- All players will have up to 90 seconds to ready up
- Warmups may be played at the beginning of the match but shall NOT exceed 4 minutes or be a map in the current mappool
- Double picks and bans will NOT be allowed with the exception of the NoMod pool
- If a player experiences technical difficulties during the first 30 seconds of a map (e.g. tablet malfunction), players can call to abort the map and replay it. Players can only call to abort a map once
- Matches must be rescheduled at least 24 hours before your match time. In the event that players experience unforeseen circumstances that prevent them from showing up to their match, please contact an Admin. Failing to wake up for a match, for example, does NOT count
- This tournament will follow a double elimination format - meaning players must lose twice before being completely eliminated

- One player must take HD or EZ, one player must take HR. The third player is free to play NoMod or any combination of HD/HR/EZ
