(Not sure if this is the right place in the forum for this.)
So, I basicly just came up with this idea while talking to a friend of mine, I'm not sure if anyone else has thought of this but if that's the case, please tell me!

Osu! Speed Mapping Contest
You have 30 minutes to map a preselected song. Each map will be looked that and scaled on a scale from 1 to 10 by juges. The beatmap with the highest score wins. In case of a tie, both participants win.

Rules:
-You must start from scratch.
-You cannot copy other beatmaps in any way.
-There can only be one person working on every beatmap. You cannot form a team and share the work.
-When 30 minutes has passed, you must stop what you're doing, no matter what it is.
-You can only make a map in the selected gamemode.
-Modding is not allowed.
*If you break any of the rules above, you are automaticly disqualified

Please tell me what you think!

This belongs in Feature Requests.

Anyways, if the mapper was given the proper timing/offset and was allowed to listen to the song beforehand, than it might be work out.

This would encourage speedy mapping over quality mapping though...

I don't think it would belong in ''Feature Requests'' since it's not actually a feature that you would add into the game, it's just a community thing. And what do you mean it would encourage speedy mapping over quality mapping? It's a one time contest, you don't have to continue speed mapping after it's over.

You're asking peppy/osu!team to create something that interests you. This is definitely a Feature Request. Unless of-course, you're asking for this to be completely community driven? If that's the case then thats a whole different ball-field to be considered.

Sticking to the Feature Request concept, I guess i could've worded that better.

I'm no BN, so take this with a grain of salt. From what i understand, speed ranking is frowned upon, because it usually results in poor quality, because stuff gets overlooked. Having a contest that encourages speedy mapping might just be bad etiquette.

Plus some of the requirements you have can be easily nitpicked. One's ability to google search a background shouldn't be involved in the rating. Also timing can take a lot more time than you think..

Welp, my bad
Look at Lust's post.

Already done before: t/280539 (https://osu.ppy.sh/s/264745) and one of the older ones: https://osu.ppy.sh/s/140937 (that resulted in https://osu.ppy.sh/s/165273, same easy diff i did in the contest).

Feel free to organize one yourself! I remember having a lot of fun and I wouldn't mind participating in one again.

Would be great if you could set the timing before the contest.

Yeah, I want it to be completely community driven.
