GB Cup (GBC) is a 3v3 team draft osu!mania tournament for 4K players.
The 2024 Autumn season is the 7th tournament of the GBC series.
This tournament is a 4K osu!mania tournament, played with ScoreV2. There will be qualifiers, double-swiss rounds and elimination stages in this tournament.
The tournament is organized on QQ and Discord. Chinese players use QQ, while foreigners use Discord. Players may play together or separated as follow:
- All players will go through Qualifiers stage regardless of the social platform used.
- The tournament will be organized separatedly for Chinese players and foreigners. Using same pools and staffs.
To play in the tournament, you must follow these rules:
1. You must have joined the GBC discord server or GBC QQ group.
2. You have completed and submitted the Registration Form.
3. You have not violated the community guidelines for the past 12 months.
There is no skill limit of registrants. But because it is mainly organized for middle-level players, actually the pool is not that hard.
There are no location limits, but we mainly recommend Asian players to sign up. For all the players, you need to ensure that you could play in Sat & Sun 7pm-10pm UTC+8, or you may not be picked in drafting phase.
Qualifier has 8 maps. Players play at the same time will play in the same room. There are many times to choose from!
Regular stage is a double-3-round Swiss phase. Win x 2 = advance, lose x 2 = eliminate. The final seeding will be decided on multiple factors. There will be a total of 8 teams advance into eliminate stage, with a single-elimination phase. The number of advancing teams in QQ/Discord depends on the ratio of player passing qualifiers in each of the two platforms.
This format will ABSOLUTELY PREVENT double-match in a week by system. Only potential exception is the last week matches.
