Thank you for coming to my Osu Challenge!

I, like many of you, am interested in the various tournaments hosted by the community, and would love to join one myself. However, due to work and other life commitments I cannot guarantee that I will have a specific weekend or specific dates off to participate in or host a tournament. So, I opted to start my own series of themed challenges meant to be held over the entire month as opposed to a single day or weekend, broken up into 2-day rounds and an end-of-month free period to fix previous scores or fill in ones you missed. If this is something you're interested in, or fits more neatly into your schedule than other tourneys, you're welcome to join in! It's open to all ranks from 3M+ to #1.

Sign-up Rules and Brackets
- The ranges for each bracket of play (in rankings and SR) are as follows:
  1. 900K+ (1.3-1.8*)
  2. 899-700K (1.8-2.3*)
  3. 699-500K (2.3-2.8*)
  4. 499-300K (2.8-3.3*)
  5. 299-200K (3.3-3.8*)
  6. 199-150K (3.8-4.3*)
  7. 149K-100K (4.3-4.8*)
  8. 99K-50K (4.8-5.3*)
  9. 50K-10K (5.3-5.8*)
  10. <10K (5.8*+)


- Joining is simple. Merely post "/in" or anything that looks like you want to join in. I would prefer /in to avoid ambiguity, though.
- 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).
- Five days before sign-ups end will be when your bracket placement is locked in, also called the "lock-in" phase. 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 bracket you originally were signed up for. 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.
--If this option is taken, this will be waived if and ONLY if a lower-bracket single player decides to jump into your bracket to make it a 2-person (and thus viable) bracket. If nobody opts to take the advancement (or will otherwise be affected by it before you), your own advancement will take place.
Examples
Example 1: Player 1 is the only one in the 500-699K bracket and opts to take the advancement to the 300-499K bracket. Player 2 is also the only one in the 700-899K bracket but does not take the advancement. Player 2 will be removed with their bracket while Player 1 will advance.
Example 2: Player 1 is the only one in the 500-699K bracket and opts to take the advancement to the 300-499K bracket. Player 2 is also the only one in the 700-899K bracket and also takes the advancement. Player 3 is also the only one in the 900K+ bracket but does not take the advancement. Player 2 will advance as they were still in a single-person bracket, but Player 1 will not because Player 2 has moved up to join them.
Example 3: Same scenario as Example 2 except the 900K+ does take the advancement. Player 2 will remain in their bracket since Player 3 advanced, while Player 1 will be moved up to the 300-499K bracket
- Three days before sign-ups end, all players who have signed up and will sign up later will be given a couple questions via DM to answer regarding various rules and such. These questions should be responded to via DM, and can be answered at any point until sign-ups end. Players who do not answer all questions correctly WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE. However, you are free to correct wrong answers until the sign-up ends.

-The lock-in phase will begin at 00:00 on October 25th, 2023.
Your sign-up questions will be sent out on October 28th, 2023.
Sign-ups officially end at 23:59 October 31st, 2023. Anyone who asks after this day will not be added.

Competition Rules
-There will be 10 maps for each bracket, with each map getting two days each to play.
--6 Maps will be within your designated SR spread for each bracket.
--1 Map will be .2-.3* harder than your spread.
--1 map will be .2-.3* easier than your spread.
--2 maps will be 1-1.5* easier than your spread.
-For each map, players will have two days to submit scores for the map. Once that two-day period is up, you will be unable to submit another score for that map until the final days of the challenge. However, as stated in the sign-in rules above, you may submit as many scores as you like within that two-day period for that map.
-After Round 10, the final days of the month will be a free submission period, where you may submit scores for all the maps in your bracket as a final chance to upgrade your scores. Once the final day of the challenge is over, no more submissions will be accepted.
-You may use any mod except the following combinations:
--V2 (as this doesn't submit scores to the website meaning I can't trawl for them myself if I have to.)
--NFDT D-rank (to ensure that all players at least attempt to try for a score.
--Any auto-play mod (Relax, auto, autopilot)
---While score-reducing mods like HT, EZ and NF are allowed, be aware that they will be a detriment if it comes down to score tiebreaks.
- Scores must be submitted or dated from during the round of that particular map or during the free period at the end. That does mean you will need to re-do your score if you had one submitted previously.
--This dating is based on the website-side timestamps for your scores, as those are based either on UTC or are converted from UTC to my timezone (US Central) instead of each player's own local timezones.
- There is no limit to the number of scores you may submit, so long as it is submitted within the time-frame of the challenge and the specific round for each map. Submit one-and-dones, or replay your maps every day until you get the best score you can, whatever works for you.
- A link to your score page on the website is required in a companion thread that will be made on the day the challenge starts. Pictures are optional but encouraged. 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 must submit scores for at least three maps by the end of the first week, and for at least seven maps before the open submission period. Players who fail to do so 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. If you wish to see if you are affected by this, please see the penalties sheet.
- Points will be distributed based on the number of players in each bracket minus one per 5 people. I.e. if there are less than 5, all participants will get points (1st gets 4, 2nd 3, etc.), while if there are 5 then four will get points while last place will get none (if there's 5 players, 1st will get 4, 2nd 3, and so on while 5th will get none. If there's 10 players, 1st will get 8, 2nd 7, 3rd 6, and so on while 9th and 10th get none.)
- If a player FC's a map (Full combo, no dropped slider-ends; your combo should be green on the scores page), they will be given a bonus point.
- If a player FCs a map with at least 98% accuracy, they will be given two bonus points.
- If a player SS's a map, they will be given three bonus points.
---Do note that these do not stack; you can only earn up to three bonus points for the SS.
- Tiebreaks will be broken down as follows, from top priority to lowest: Accuracy->score->timestamp.
Tiebreak examples
--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. If two or more players are tied, the player who has the most round wins will be the winner.

Prizes
- The winner of each bracket will earn 1 month's Osu!Supporter from me.
- If a player FC's all maps in their bracket, I will give them an extra 1 month's supporter.
- If a player SS's all their songs in their bracket, I will give them an extra 2 months Supporter on top of the 1 month for winning.
- 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.


I HAVE MADE CHANGES AND ADDITIONS TO THE RULES. PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THEM THOROUGHLY BEFORE THE CHALLENGE BEGINS.

I'm not particularly a fan of some of the rule additions, but I've had multiple months now where players have routinely not followed the rules and gotten themselves auto-DQ'd because they played all the maps day 1 (which you are not supposed to do) and then don't play again ever or until I remind them they're at risk of an auto-DQ. This is mainly to ensure you players understand what the rules are and participate properly. I am always welcoming of new and returning players to these challenges, but if you are not going to read and abide by the rules I've laid out I kindly ask that you just not sign up. It hurts you (you can't play and potentially receive a prize), me (I lose participants), and anyone else in your bracket (it possibly renders the bracket defunct and no longer viable so the other player/s can't compete either).

also, I'd also like help with map-hunting!. Obviously I'll use the languages already lebelled on the beatmap listings page, but if you know of a song primarily in a language that isn't listed already, shoot me a link and I'll do my best to use it/them. My hope is to use basically any language that isn't Japanese or English since those are the two with the most represented and I want them to be back-up fillers in case I need them.

Your sign-up questions have been sent out to all players, regardless of bracket and including the three new players. To repeat, ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED AND ANSWERED CORRECTLY VIA DM IN ORDER TO PLAY IN THE CHALLENGE. However, all questions can be answered simply by reading through the rules. I do apologize for the lack of anything else, but I don't think I could fit anything else into a single DM.

DONE :D

Round 1 has officially begun and will end at 23:59 on Nov. 2nd.


As stated in the other sign-ups thread, only those who have correctly answered my questions will have their submissions counted and added to the sheet. However, provided you DO answer them correctly, I will count them as well(because that's just easier for me). Please use these extra two days to either answer the questions or amend your previous answer as needed.

Round 1 is over. Round 2 has begun and will end at 23:59 on Oct. 4th.

Also, my sincerest apologies to Silvery and Pogodny, as I genuinely thought I had filled out your bracket once Pogodny had answered correctly. For this round only, these two players may submit for both rounds 1 and 2. Once Round 2 is over, they may only submit for round 3 as usual.

Wait how the fuck is it the 11th. I swear I just lost three days or something. Wow.

In any case, Round 5 is over, and Round 6 has begun and will end at 23:59 on Nov. 12th. Seeing as I completely just blanked on Round 5 aside from announcing it, I will give those who missed it and would be kicked round 6 to submit a score and stay in. This only applies to izutsumi, as they're the only one who would've been auto-DQ'd.
