AAAH is a 4v4 osu! Standard tournament with a rank range of #1,000 to #99,999 with BWS applied: BWS Rank = rank^(0.9937^(badges^2))
Teams will range from 4 to 10 members.
Joining the discord is required for all players.
Only players with a USA or USA territory profile flag will be allowed to participate.
USA territories include: American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Major rule change from the last 3 iterations: Each team will be forced to put the Hidden modification on no more or less than 2 of their 4 players for each map EXCEPT EZ, where only 1 player is required to take HD while up to 2 may take HD (as voted on by players). This includes the Tiebreaker. Because of this rule, there will be no Hidden modpool, and each other modpool will have more maps to compensate.

1st place: 60% of the prize pool + Profile Badge + Profile Banner
2nd place: 30% of the prize pool + Profile Banner
3rd place: 10% of the prize pool + Profile Banner

Qualifier Rules:

Player sign-up form will include a section to describe one's skillset for captains to look at before and during the auction.
All players will play their qualifier lobbies as individuals.
All maps are HD optional
The captains will be hand picked based on both rank and past tournament experience and will not have to play the Qualifiers round. Any player that signs up can be chosen as a captain. If the chosen captain is unable to make the auction, they may request a proxy from the staff team as a stand in.

Major rule change from the last 3 iterations:All non-captain players that participate in a qualifier lobby will be draftable. (Increased from 80 in previous iterations)

Auction Rules:

All non-captain player names that submitted a qualifier lobby will be placed on The Wheel, which will be spun one at a time to determine the player that will be bid on.
Captains will each have $1964 to work with (the year the civil rights act was passed). Bids for each player will start at $50 and must increase by multiples of $50. They will be able to draft up to 9 other players and have to draft at minimum 3 other players.
Each player will be available for bidding for 30 seconds. If the countdown is lower than 10 seconds and a captain makes a new highest bid, the countdown will be reset to 10 seconds.
If no captain makes a bid within those initial 30 seconds, the player name will be moved to The Last Chance Wheel which will be spun after all names on the first wheel have been brought to market. If the last chance wheel is spun and for a second time that player is not bid on, they will be DNQed.
After all players and teams have been decided, the seeding of the main bracket will be determined by the entire team's average rank, with the #1 team playing against the #16 team, and so on.
The captain may designate another person on the team as captain when they submit their roster.
You must decide on a team name that is America themed, do with that what you will.

Match Rules:

Warmups must be DMed to the referee after the match reminder ping in the server and before the scheduled start time of the match. They must also not exceed 3:00 in drain length.
In the Round of 16, each team is allowed 1 ban per match. Banned maps are effectively removed from the mappool for the duration of the match and are not allowed to be picked. From the Quarterfinals onward, each team is allowed 2 bans per match. Double bans are allowed, but a mod pool CANNOT be fully banned out.
Ban order will be ABBA format.
There is no restriction on map selection order; teams may select any available map at any time regardless of mod.
