After all the ACGL Monthly side quests, we have farmed enough gears to tackle SAOT again! This time the sixth boss raid. For those who don’t know or are new to the community, SAOT is an annual South African osu! Tournament. We aim to deliver an opportunity for all SA players to participate and experience a tournament. The place where you challenge each other and uncover your true potentials. Furthermore, we hope everyone could have fun and make friends through this event.

We are working with ACGL again, a local gaming tournament organizer. They have hosted countless tournaments across multiple titles and now osu! as well. We will be using many of their website features to provide a smooth and coordinated SAOT experience.

This year we are introducing some changes to how qualifiers would work and including "protects" alongside ban-picks. So be sure to read the forum post!

If you have any queries, feel free to DM on discord (adam40505)

The tourney would have 3 separate divisions namely LEGENDS, DIV 1 and DIV 2
Qualifier would work slightly differently compared to previous years.
There will be 2 separate qualifiers with different Star Ratings.
All players below 70k global rank will have to first play in the LEGENDS Qualifier.
Top 16 performers in the LEGENDS Qualifier will then be allocated in the LEGENDS division.
Players (top 70k global rank) who did not qualify for LEGENDS, will then play in DIV1/2 Qualifier alongside every other player (70k+) for division placements.
Top 32 players in DIV 1 and the remaining players would be in DIV 2.
(Top 70k players have to be placed, at lowest, DIV1.)

Hence, everyone is required to sign-up on for DIV1/2 Qualifiers
and top 70k global rank players have to sign-up for LEGENDS Qualifiers.
*no minimum rank restriction on LEGENDS Qualifiers.

Score V2 would be used throughout the tournament including qualifiers.
New beatmaps for each round/week will be announced by the map selectors in advance before the actual matches take place. Only these beatmaps will be used during the respective matches.
The maximum time a scheduled match can be postponed is 15 minutes, after that the opposition would be awarded a default win.
Rescheduling of matches must be done 24hrs prior to the match time and evidence of both players agreeing to the changes must be presented to Me or a Staff member.
All players are supposed to keep the match running fluently and without delays. Excessive match delays coming from the player's side can be issued with penalties.
Disrupting the match by foul play, picking inappropriate warmup beatmaps, insulting and provoking other players or referees, delaying the match or other misbehaviour is strictly prohibited.
All players and referees must be treated with respect. Instructions of the referees and tournament Management are to be followed. Decisions labelled as final are not to be objected.
The multiplayer chatrooms are subject to the osu! community rules.
NoFail WILL be used on all maps with no score penalty.
Players must pick at least one mod from the following list when playing FreeMod: HardRock (x1.1), Hidden (x1.06), FlashLight (x1.12), Easy (x1) or any possible combination from this list.
When playing the Tiebreaker, mods are optional. Players may go NoMod or any mod listed for FreeMod.
No warm-ups will be played for qualifiers. In bracket stages, 1 warm-up map no longer than 4 minutes per player is permitted. If both players agree, warm-up can be skipped. Player who joins in the lobby first will get warm-up pick first.
This is a South Africans Only tournament. Players must have the South African Flag on their profile to attend.
All registered players must join the Discord server and change your nickname to your osu in-game name or else your entry would be nullified.
In case of Load Shedding, you must post your Load Shedding Schedules under #loadshedding-schedules channel. Without posting your schedules, loadshedding would not be a valid excuse to reschedule/ delay/ no-show for a game. Hence, please plan your games with loadshedding in mind.

Matches and Qualifier would take place over the weekends from Friday to Sunday. Exceptions may be issued for emergencies.
The tourney has 3 separate divisions namely LEGENDS, DIV 1 and DIV 2.
Players below 70k global rank would have to first play in the LEGENDS Qualifier.
Top 16 performers in LEGENDS Qualifier will be placed in LEGENDS and the remaining players will play in the second qualifier for further placement.
Top 70k players have to be placed, at lowest, DIV1.
All players have to sign-up for DIV1/2 Qualifiers.
LEGENDS is double-elimination which means each player would have to have 2 losses before elimination. Players who have lost a match would carry on playing in the Losers Bracket.
DIV 1 and DIV 2 are single-elimination which means you get eliminated if you lose.
When the Qualifier is played. Each map would be played ONCE in order: NM -> HD -> HR -> DT.
Maximum of 1.5 minutes (90 seconds) break is allowed between each map.
Qualifier Lobbies with different time slots would be provided for players to attend. Players can choose whichever one that suits them best.
Qualifier results would be used to determine division placement and seeding.
*Changes to the qualifier seeding may be made depending on player stats and past results.
A Referee will invite the players into a lobby 10 minutes before the scheduled time. If you receive no invitation, please notify Me or a Staff member on the discord.
If your opponent did not show up 15 minutes after the scheduled time for a match, a default win would be issued.
If both players did not show up 15 minutes after the scheduled time for a match, the player with a higher qualifier seeding will advance. No rematches will be tolerated.
NEW During a match, players would each use the roll command (!roll) to determine the Ban/Protect/Pick order. The player who got a lower number (the loser) will protect (1 map) first then the winner can choose to determine the ban order OR the pick order. The loser will then determine the order of what the winner did not choose. (ie. If winner chooses ban order, the loser will then choose the pick order. And vice versa.)
Match would proceed with players alternating picks until a winner is determined.
Protected maps cannot be banned or protected again. Protected maps can be picked by either players and or not be picked at all.
There are no further restrictions on the ban/picks. Bans can be placed in the same mod pool, and maps from the same mod pool can be picked after each other.
During a Tie situation, the Tie Breaker would be played. There will only be 1 TB this year. Winner of the Tie Breaker map wins the match.
A new mappool would be released each week.
Rescheduling of matches must be done 24hrs prior to the match time and evidence of both players agreeing to the changes must be presented to Me or a Staff member.
Last minute reschedules are not permitted unless emergencies occur.
If your opponent is not responding to your reschedule proposal, please also contact Me or a Staff member. Your reschedule will then be approved.
Please plan your games with loadshedding in mind.
