Welcome to the osu! Community Tournament II!


--> OFFICIAL STREAM HERE <--




Introduction

Hello everyone! I'm rfandomization (or just Arf) of the osu! Community Tournament. Today, we finished the Grand Finals of our first OCT for rank 100k players, which means the poll for the entry rank of this tournament concluded today. As a community, you voted for a rank 10k-50k tournament, so, we are here to deliver! After many, many !join commands on the Twitch channel during OCT I, and quite a few comments asking "Where do I sign up?", we have finalized the signup pages for OCT II. Information on the signups is below, but first, some clarification on the format for OCT II, to avoid confusion.

OCT II is a 1v1 tournament, not a team tournament! We have randomized our picks for the players who signed up, and you can check for your name here! If you need to inquire about time zones, drop out, or just have general questions, you may send a PM to Ascendance, Ecliptus, or Raphalge.

Where Do I Sign Up?

SIGNUPS ARE NOW CLOSED. Players can find out if they have been accepted here!

Rules

After lots of input, matchups are being randomized again. We're checking and editing all matchups as fast as we can, but it is possible you will have to compete against players ranked a little higher than you might like :( We apologize for any inconvenience/extreme rage this causes.


  • I. Maps will be played in a 1 vs. 1 format. Each player can ban 2 maps from the pool. Maps will increase in difficulty as the tournament progresses.

    II. All maps will be given a week in advance. No other maps can be chosen during the tournament (excludes warmup picks)

    III. Maps must be played with the directed mods.

    IV. Any disconnect will result in a forfeit of the map being played, unless the disconnect can be proven to be a Bancho error, providing a timestamp and the bancho error message on the osu! client.

    V. Players will use !roll to decide who picks the first map from the pool.

    VI. Maps cannot be repeated during the same match. The loser of the !roll will be the chooser of the Warmup map.

    VII. Warmup map can be any map on the osu! website, provided it is less than 4 minutes. (Ranked or unranked beatmaps may be selected. The warmup map is Freemod with Double Time being selectable - it is up to the player who picks the warmup whether or not to force Double Time)

    VIII. If a player is late to their game, they will have 5 minutes before the win is handed to the other player.

    IX. Winner of the !roll will ban one map, then loser bans two. The winner then bans the last map. (Please have a shortlist of at least four potential bans in case your opponent bans something you were going to ban)

    X. Only one mod pick from each pool may be selected (not including the freemod Tiebreaker) [So no more than one HD/DT pick per player for the match. This may be increased in later rounds.]

Tournament Dates


Registration Period: OVER

Tournament Begins: May 30th

Our matches will take place on weekends (that is, Saturday and Sunday), and around 1500 UTC. If that time is inconvenient for you for whatever reason, don't let that stop you signing up! If you are accepted into the tournament, we will do our level best to incorporate your schedule with ours, and to accommodate your timing. That said, do try your best to keep your schedule clear if you can. Inform us beforehand if you absolutely cannot. We have things we can do :D

Another friendly reminder that we WILL notify you if you are in the tournament, and if you're still not sure, check here!

Semi-finals and Finals Map Pool

Map Pool is below

Of course everyone has a schedule they need to work with. I've updated the post, but our matches will take place on weekends, usually around 1500 UTC, so try to keep your schedule free! If you can't, don't despair! We can and will do our absolute best to make sure you can play. This tournament is about giving everyone a chance, as best we can :)

Are we allowed to choose whatever map we want for warmup? The maps I would want to play are either really troll (aka Callum Machine Gun) or long (United, Eight Awesome Angles of Youtube, Hanairo Biyori, Sentimental Skyscraper)

You lose the round and your oponent gets one point.

The only requirement for the warmup is that it can't be too long. (~4 minutes MAX)

Our first round starts on the 30th :c and matches will be played on 31st. We can't have you missing the whole first round D=
If you could make it on even one of the days, that would work. If not, well... PM us. We're working out scheduling at the moment anyway.

Well, if you fail, then revive, your score counts. If you don't revive, and your opponent has, or hasn't failed, your opponent gets a point. If you BOTH fail, the one who gets the highest score wins! So if you fail, DON'T GIVE UP! You definitely still have a chance!

It's only proposal but I think very hard maps (for example Image Material or Everything will Freeze [Extra] with Half Time will be good to mappool :) It will be something new.

HalfTime and/or Easy are things we may implement next time, but for now, let's keep it conventional =P
Good idea though! We actually take what you guys say into account =D

We may have something like that in the future, but this will be 1v1! The staff invitational which we will stream next few weeks before OCT II is team based - no signups for that ;D, but we hope you tune in, even if only for a little bit!

Most people in Europe live in CEST (including me), so i don't think that will be a problem :)

I think I signed up and put 30k instead of 20k and in case you have to look for it I did it a few days ago.

No worries, we caught your error and fixed it =)
Thanks for notifying us!

I hope "inactivity" won't keep me from participating. I'm decently active at times but I rarely try to FC something, for example.

We will look at the "last seen" date and not the date of top plays.

Will we be able to see the list of accepted people by the first map pool release?

We might push back our first map pool release a bit, but it will still be before the tournament. Releasing the pool 20 days in advance is maybe a bit much =)

Don't worry, accepted players will be released soon, if not with the map pool then within one or two days of it


EDIT: Map pool is going to be released this Sunday. Players list will be updated at a slightly later date

Hmm... Will be here any division? I't won't be fair if for example player with 40k rank must play with 10k rank.

Originally, we thought this way too. However, after spending around 7 or 8 hours setting up rank to rank seeding, we realized that the time zones of our players ranked 30K+ weren't matching up very well. Rank doesn't matter if the other player cant show up for the match :o

So in order to avoid this, we put players into groups based more on time zones than rank, and randomized (rfandomized =D) EVERYBODY. So whoever gets matched up with a person a bit too above their rank, well, its unavoidable. Somewhere down the line, during the rounds of the tournament, it would have been inevitable that players would have to face other players ranked higher than them. While it may seem unfair to have this in the very first round, randomizing it eliminates whatever bias the staff may have had.
In the end, randomizing it is the fairest option we could use. 256 people is a lot, and perfect matchups ain't happening. If you are 40K and you have to face a 10K, well......think of it as having to face South Korea first round in the MWC. Someone has to do it! We're sorry it had to be you :(
