Ok you're in ! You seem to play all modes. You average pp count is 1008. I'll put the modes in this order : CTB, Osu, Taiko, Mania

Some news :
We've been discussing the difficulties for the maps to know what kind of map difficulties we'll choose for each category. I wanted to use the stars system. Some people in the staff proposed to use the letters (E, N, H, I) to pick maps.


For the categories we agreed to use these :
0 - 500pp
500 - 1000pp
1000pp - 2000pp
It's not decided yet, maybe we will change depending on the players who will enter the tournament.


So for each category it would be
0 - 500pp => E
500 - 1000pp => N
1000 - 2000pp => H

or
0 - 500pp => 1-2 stars
500 - 1000pp => 2-3 stars
1000 - 2000pp => 3-4 stars

or
0 - 500pp => 1.5-2.5 stars
500 - 1000pp => 2.5-3.5 stars
1000 - 2000pp => 3.5-4.5 stars


Let us know what you think about these.

I think the first category is the best ^^.

I hope that the PP limit will be higher :C.
In my opinion, first category will be best.

Some news :
We are probably going to use these categories and assign map levels as follows :
0-500pp => 1-2 stars + E diff
500-1000pp => 2-3 stars + N diff
1000pp-2000pp => 3-4 stars + H diff
2000pp-3000pp => 4-5 stars + I diff
Depending on how many players will enter, some categories will be open, others not. So if you want more players in a certain category, invite some friends of yours.
CABERMAN
Can i join?? I play standard, I play easy mania maps, dont play taiko and ctb :333

EDIT: James is mah friend, and she plays standard :vv

portalbob
Can I join? I'm best at mania, but I'm at least passable in all modes.

@ CABERMAN : I'm adding you but you only play osu. I doubt a team will pick you since you only play osu. On the other hand, you have 6 months to learn another mode.
If the team picks you both, you can be on the same team. But it's up to the team and their captain. If they only want one of you, they'll pick one of you.
Your average pp count is 449.

@portalbob : You seem to be good in all modes. I'm adding you. If you don't have a preference, I'll add your modes from the strongest to the weakest.
Your average pp is 279.

Little note :
I don't want a tournament where we have 4 specialists of each mode. What I call a specialist is someone who has a lot of pp in one mode only and none in the other. Then the team with the best 4 players of each mode in the same team would have a huge edge. That's why I added doubles instead of singles, that's why I limited the team to 6 players max.
What I want for this tournament is players who can play several modes, or if they can't, to make them discover another.

Some news :
For now, the rule goes like this : you have to score 3 points to score a set and then 3 sets to win a match and then go to the next round.
I've thought about doing it more like a tennis game and raise the limit to 6 points with a tiebreaker at 6-6.
So to win you have to reach 6 points first and have more than 2 points than your opponent to win a set. The you have to win 3 sets to win the match and the n do to the next round.

Example :
If the score is 5-5, you have to win the next match to get to 6-5 and then win another match to get to 7-5 and you'll have two points more than your opponent, and win the set.
If the score is 5-5, you win the next point (6-5) and then your opponent win the point after that (6-6), there will be a tiebreaker, and winning team will have 7-6 and win the set.

The downside of this, is that it can make very long matches. The other downside is more work for us to find more beatmaps, at least 13 per mode.

Let us know what you think of that.

Some more news :
We changed the tournament format a little. Players will need to win 4 points with at least 2 more points than the opponent to win a set. Players will also need to win 4 sets with at least 2 more sets than the opponent to win the match and go to the next round.
The order of the modes for each match we'll be randomly chosen and then published with the mappools.

As a consequence we changed the number of maps in the mappool but the proportions will stay the same.

We also changed some rules about the teams.
There will be 4 titular players + 2 substitutes per match. Captains will give me the names of the titular players and those of the substitutes just before the first match. The substitutes won't be allowed to play during all matches until the next round.

Let us know what you think of those changes.

@James012 : We'll take 4 players as a minimum, although I would recommend having 2 substitutes in case someone gets sick before a match or something else, you know.

Ok you're both in ! But since you're only 2 (you need to be at least 4 to make a team), I'm adding you to the players list.

So how does this tournament work exactly?
Will you rotate game modes after each song or something like that?
sorry if this was already explained lol.
Topic Starter
Elessey
To know how it works exactly, read the thread. I tried to be as clear as possible.

I won't rotate modes after each song, but after each match. After a team wins a set (of 4 points with 2 more points than the opponent (4-2 for example), or 5 points with more than 2 points than the opponent (5-3 for example), or 5 points with 1 more point than the opponent after a tiebreaker (5-4 for example)) the next match for the next set will be another mode.

The mode order could be like this :
1st match (I'm talking about match, with serveral maps played in it, not just one) : Osu => first team who wins this, wins 1 set (by having won 4 points (see above))
2nd match : Taiko
3rd match : CTB
4rd match : Mania
If there are no winner, we'll continue until we have a winner
5th match : Osu
6th match : Taiko
7th match : CTB
8th match : Mania
At this point, if there's no winner, we'll do a tiebraker.
9th match (tiebreaker) : CTB

The order I gave you is an example. The mode order and the tiebreaker match will be randomly chosen and given with the mappools.

Was I clear enough ?
SoggySquid
Ah ok I get it now.
Thanks XD

Some news :
We are looking for more staff members to help. We are looking for :
Referees : I decided not to be a referee anymore but to supervise all the referees. So we need a few more referees.
Streamers, commentators and moderators : If the idea of streaming is possible, we're gonna need more people to make it real and to make it good.
-Dyames
@Elessy i can play 2 subs right? and 4 members each team?

:D

Elessey
@James : I don't understand what you mean.
The rule is : 4 players minimum ; 6 maximum
In a match 4 titulars will play the whole match, the substitutes won't play.
Topic Starter
Elessey
@[GraveChaos] : If mania pickers want to, why not, send me a PM so we can talk about it.
Referees will be in the match to ensure the rules are being followed.
For the commenting, it's cool too, we need commentators.

Some news :

Team rules :
There are some disagreements in the staff about the team rules. We thought about different rules :
4 players min, 6 players max => unlimited substitutions except during matches
4 players + 2 substitutes that won't play => no substitutions allowed
3 players min, 4 players max => unlimited substitutions
3 players min, 5 players max => unlimited substitutions

I'm thinking of reducing the minimum of players to 3 and the maximum to 4 players. But I would need some opinions of players here.

Communication :
Which brings me to another point. I'd like to gather all the people in this tournament into a single place. I thought about Skype, Slack and RaidCall. RaidCall is an alternative to teamspeak with a possibility to host a server for free. Slack was made for people to discuss about professional projects with channels and all that. But it doesn't have a voice chat. I've used it in a project with a group of people and I liked it.
We can do some private channels for each team and a general channel for everyone to discuss with one another.

Let us what you think about all that. A lot of stuff is changing, we're trying to find the right thing for everyone.

Some BIG news :
We received a lot of members names and we got 6 teams so far. However we ran into a big problem. Many of the players that are in the same team won't be able to play in the same category. The average pp difference is too big between members.
So we are proposing to reduce the teams to a minimum of 3 players and a maximum of 4 players

Other news. I'm inviting players to join on slack. We have channels to discuss different modes and there will be private channels for each teams. Send me your email address so that I can send you an invitation.

@Gravechaos & @lino1000 : Ok You're both in. Send me your skype addresses as well as your email addresses to invite you on Slack.

Some BIG IMPORTANT rules :
1) The number of minimum players will be 3 players and the maximum of players will be 5.
2) Players will have to give us the modes they will play. After that, they will be forbidden to play any other mode.
3) Instead of taking the average pp of all modes, we'll only take the average pp count of the modes you tell you'll play.
4) Before each rubber, the captain will give us the 2 players + 1 back-up. The other players won't be allowed to play this rubber.

Some more news :
We decided not to put 5k and 6k modes in the tournament. The only played modes will be 4k and 7k. There will be 6 maps for each in the mappools as well as 1 tiebreaker map for each.
