Hi there! I'm Ascendance, host of the osu! Community Tournament, and I'll be taking over this thread from rfandomization, who has gone to pursue other adventures. I wish him the best! Let's get on with it though, this time we're taking a slight departure from the circle-clicking world and moving on to the realm of fruit catching. Since we had to drop Tournament 2 from our line-up of OCT III, we decided to replace it with something new - and since the CTB guys haven't really had a good tournament (CWC excepted. Maybe) in a while, we thought we could fill the existing void. With that, I'm happy to announce the OCT III CTB International!
As with our other tournaments, this will be a 1v1 tournament, between rank ranges of #1-#1K. We're not sure of the exact number of players yet, but that will change as we start pulling in more signups.
Signups are CLOSED for this stage of OCT III unfortunately. If you were hoping to sign up, we're sorry you didn't make it in time ;_; - maybe you'll have better luck next time =D
Registration Period: CLOSED! If you were too late to sign up, sorry about that =(
Tournament starts: August 22
Individual match times: here!
Our matches will take place on weekends (that is, Saturday and Sunday), and between 1200 and 2200 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
Another friendly reminder that we WILL notify you if you are in the tournament, via a PM on the osu! website. Also, if you are a prospective participant, we request that you either turn off the "no PMs except from friends" option if you have it toggled on, or add one of us so we can keep in contact with you =)
Tournament Rules v2
WE HAVE RESET THE GROUP STAGES IN ORDER TO DITCH COMPLETELY RANDOMIZED SEEDS. YOU WILL NOW BE SEEDED BY THE FOLLOWING.
The top 16 ranked players in this tournament will be considered Top Seeds
The next 16 ranked players will be considered High Seeds
The next 16 will be considered Low Seeds
The bottom 16 will be considered No Seed
Each group will have 1 player from each seed within it. The rank differential between the Top Seed and the No Seed player will be taken into account while creating groups. Hopefully this allows for a more fair placement of players according to their skill level.
Participation Rules
1. If you are found causing drama / cheating / or are silenced*, you will be suspended from the OCT CTB International.
*We know some silences are silly. A referee will check to see if the reason for your silence was viable for suspension or not.
2. If you drop below 1000 rank during this time, you WILL remain eligible for play as long as you have played in the week previous to the tournament.
3. If you go inactive without our knowing (a PM to me), we will suspend your participation, as we want to minimize no-shows.
4. Map selectors cannot participate in this tournament.
Staff Rules
1. If you are caught giving staff information to participants or any other non-staff member, you, as well as the player in question, will be removed from the participation/staff list.
2. All staff are to report to Ascendance with any sights on cheating players / staff interference with players / or other actions that could interfere with the competitive integrity of the tournament.
3. For Mapset Selectors, the map pool must be completed the Sunday before the first scheduled match.
Mapset Selection Rules (Staff and participants)
1. There must be 6 NOMOD, 4 HIDDEN, 4 HARDROCK, 4 DOUBLETIME, 4 FREEMOD, and 1 TIEBREAKER
2. When selecting DOUBLETIME, both players are allowed to pick DTHD or DTHR (If you really want to... I had to add this so I don't get yelled at for being noob or something)
4. 2 Maps can be banned by each player.
5. Players are allowed to pick more than one map from each mod pool. (No mod restrictions)
NEW 6. When selecting HR, both players may also use HD alongside it. However, this is not the case for the HIDDEN pool, where it is the ONLY mod allowed to be used.
NEW 7. In the FREEMOD category, players are NOT ALLOWED to use side-mods such as EZ, FL, SD, PF, or other non-rankable mods. Difficulty reduction mods are also not allowed.
NEW 8. In the FREEMOD category, should both players agree, DT can be used alongside any other applicable mod.
Group Stage Rules
1. The top 2 players from each group will make it into the Elimination Stage.
2. Each player will play against the other players in their group 1 time, making the best possible score 3-0, followed by 2-1, 1-2 and 0-3.
3. In the event of a player being disqualified in the middle of a group, each other player will be given a 3-1 win over the player in question.
4. Group Stage is Best of 5 maps (First to 3 map wins).
In-Game Rules
1. Any type of BM or ill will towards opponents will have you immediately disqualified from this tournament, whether it be in lobby, through PM, or any outside source.
2. You are allowed 15 minutes after the match start time to show up for your match. Please be reminded that sometimes we will be ahead or behind schedule, so please plan accordingly.
3. In the event of a no-show, the player will be given a 3-0 win over the opponent.
4. If you are disrespectful to the referee or any other tournament official, you will be immediately disqualified from this tournament.
5. If you disconnect from the match lobby, we will count the map as a loss, even if the opponent agrees to a rematch. If you are able to screenshot proof that it was a bancho error, we will replay the map.
6. If you quit the lobby out of rage or otherwise, we will immediately disqualify you from the tournament.
Focus of Group Stage Map Pool
This first map pool is meant to be slightly easier than the Group Stage pool of CWC, to slowly ease players into a competitive setting, but also to give even footing to those who aren't star players. Don't be discouraged, however, as the pool following this one will be significantly harder.
