  1. make a map
  2. upload it
  3. reply in modding queues
  4. respond to and (possibly) apply advices people sent to you
  5. eventually you will get 5 hypes after sending enough such replies
  6. send nom requests to nominators (check status here)
  7. wait until two BNs become interested
  8. respond to and (possibly) apply advices BNs sent to you
  9. BNs nominate your map, your map is qualified. you win!

ppy's original envision was that BNs will find good maps to nominate by themselves (aka self pick)

now there are just so many maps people make, so you can't expect self picks to come. getting a self pick is pretty much like winning a jackpot

I guess it makes sense now that I look at it that way. I'm just too anxious to ask a BN to take a look at my maps. Maybe I'll try getting a map ranked for once. Every time i feel like mapping i just map half way and never touch that map again

just to note this is just the optimal path and there are many branches off it like

7. you are told to abandon and make a new map (step 1)

I created this map and it is in Graveyard status now. It's fully mapped. The hitsounds are still remaining because it doesn't sound polished. I should try these steps in the future when I want this map to be ranked. One difficulty isn't enough right? Maybe I should create a new difficulty. I don't really know.

I also created this map as well. This one is my favourite because of the music. This one needs a lot of work in order to complete the core mapping part.

Even with 1 ranked beatmap and 4 ranked gds i have, i can still get 2 bns without any problems, because connections.

when your map contains a factor that may be ever so slightly risky to do:

(to be fair, i havent focused on trying to rank my maps for like an eternity... but then at the same time, i dont wanna bother trying that anyways)

Don't you have the 2K hyped map? I think there's high enough demand by players so BNs might rank it quick.

Tbh I'm not even trying to rank stuff anymore. Just mapping for the fun of it. I got pretty big projects (and I mean BIG) that probably won't even get checked. But I'm just excited to map and play it.

step 7.1.: if bns aren't interested, go back to step 1 (will probably happen many times)

Not mentioned: there is a very high possibility you might be constantly jumping between these two steps for months, maybe years if you're unlucky (assuming you don't get bored of waiting for what feels like an eternity).

if you spend months or even years getting feedback on and improving a single map without it getting accepted by bns, you should probably give up on the set and map something else instead (aka go back to step 1).
