- Violations of rules from our Discord server will impact your standing in the tournament. The rules on this document extend to cover our Discord server which is viewed as an official communications platform, as is osu!Bancho, and will be treated as such.
- Players and staff are expected to uphold the osu! community rules at all times.
- Administration reserves the right to punish - as they see fit on a case-by-case basis - toxicity, obscene language, slurs, and other derogatory language or behavior displayed in any match chat, community, or social media platform, including but not limited to osu!, Twitch, Discord, X (formerly Twitter), and private messages therein. This rule is intentionally vague. Basically, administration reserves the right to moderate the community however they wish.
- Multi-accounting, cheating, and other foul play is not allowed.
- Should a player be restricted for foul play while the tournament is ongoing, administration reserves the right to disqualify teams entirely and replay the bracket history in a fashion appropriate based on the stage of the tournament.
- Custom skin elements must not be used such that they alter core gameplay elements or mechanics in unintended ways.
- If a map is to be replayed for any reason (aborted by referee, etc.) the roster must remain the same. If the match was aborted due to a player experiencing a technical or personal issue so severe that they are unable to play osu!, the team may swap that player out for another player on the roster.
- If a player disconnects from the match, their score will count as zero (0) unless adequate proof of a “last known score” is provided. Some examples are:
- Screenshot of the score results screen using the osu! web screenshot tool (Shift+F12)
- Livestream, VOD, or other recording of the score (this includes 5WC streams)
- A replay file
- Players are expected to keep the match running smoothly without delay. Harassment of staff members, toxicity towards other teams, and/or other language in chat or smoke that violates the community rules will result in immediate disqualification, pertinent to the judgment of administration.
- Instructions from referees and administration must be followed.
- Referees may be lenient or strict with the timers at their discretion, pertinent to the rules laid out in Match Procedures - Timers & Timeouts.
- Administration reserves the right to alter these rules at any point. Any changes are guaranteed to be announced through an official channel at the time of change.
