In the currently on-going 4KMWC, various countries choose their best players to compete against each other for the cup, but I gotta ask, "What about the beginners that also want to feel the thrill of being inside a tournament?". Well, this tournament is for those begginers who want to participate in a tournament, but have yet to develop any outstanding skill:

Tournament Rules

• *This is a 1v1 single elimination tournament, meaning, one match lost and you are out, no second chances.
  *Matches played will be a BO7, meaning that first to win 4 maps, wins the match
  *This tournament is only for players who are ranked higher than #20,000 (#20,001, #20,002...).
  [list:1337]If you surpass the maximum range before the tournament starts, you'll be removed, so be careful with that.

*Max number of players for this tournament will be 16.
*This tournament will only be 4K, because 7K is rare along these ranks
*Only Hidden, Flashlight and Fade In mods will be allowed for use in the tournament, all other mods are forbidden for use
*Mappools will consist of 9 maps, 8 Freemods and 1 Tiebreaker (TB is also Freemods).

• Mappools' difficulty will range around 2.5*-3*

• Tiebreaker will only be played when match score reaches 3-3.

*Before the match starts, 2 warmups will be played, one chosen by each player

• Warmup needs to be Mania 4K (no other modes/keymodes), and cannot be longer than 5 minutes nor Not Submitted

*This tournament will be scheduled using European Time Zone, and we are not at fault for any inconvenient times, so enter at your own discretion

• Even tho this tournament will use European Time Zone, anyone can join, no matter the country

*Round of 16 and Quater-Finals will use the same mappool, and the Semi-Finals and Finals will use the same mappool too.

Is this for below rank #20,000 (19,999 and under), or is it for players above 20,000? (20,001 and above).

Also, will this be streamed?

I think I made a small error, tournament is for players who are ranked higher than #20,000 (20,001 onwards. Made it more understandable now.
Regarding the stream, yes, we have plans to stream the tournament

alif and me most legit over 20k players I swear maybe show match?

Honestly, I don't see how you are going to get a lot of players on this one. I'm ranked #25005 on osu!mania, but I've used the USA rankings as a reference to what mania maps to focus on, and from what I can tell, I'm moving up the country rankings faster than I am the overall rankings, which tells me there aren't of players (outside Korea) that are playing mania at the moment.

Actually, there are lots of players playing mania at the moment. Not only pros, but also new players that came to mania interested in the mode (recently, the number of new players is higher than I have ever seen, even in my country). Idk how USA rankings are, but probably you are at a level in which every player has a 1pp difference between them (just an assumption, not to be taken seriously), so maybe that's why you go higher easier than overall (which having in mind the new players coming in swarms, there is a lot of competition worldwide around there).

Anyways, I don't see the difficulty regarding getting players around that rank, but thanks for your concern.

But that was best lie 2k15. But for real I hope this tournament will be a success (and maybe you can organize one for higher rank players later)
And I'm ready to play a show match with alif if possible

Thx. Maybe we'll do a tournament for higher players in the future, but not for the rest of the year as things currently stands (the QA schedule is full for this year, and there's also the 4KMWC going on for all of September, and the 7KMWC on November/December, so there's also that). I'll look into it to make a tournament for the higher players, but for now, I want to give the lower ranked an opportunity to participate in one, as small as it may be .

About the showcase match, I'll think of it, I'll tell you about it when I have everything sorted out

If what you're saying is true, they certainly aren't coming from USA. The PP for USA rank #20,000 is increasing as slow as molasses...

At least in Finland the amount of players has been increasing in the past 6 months. For example the amount of pp I had when I got into top 20 is now barely enough to get into top 50. So the amount of players shouldn't be a problem.

Please follow the "How to register" section to sign up. And I clearly said that it will only be 4k in the tournament rules, so if you haven't read the rules, please do so before registering for the tournament.

dang if this was one week later it would be so much better ;; the finals of my own tournament is the week it starts.. rip. I can maybe join if there is a way I can play my matches when I'm not doing referee/stream stuff at my own tournament?

I may be able to avoid giving you an unconvenient time if you PM me the tournament's schedule, so that I know when you are busy doing referee work. Also remember that this tournament will use European Time Zones to program it's schedule. Anyways, if you decide on joining, just send me the times you will be busy refereeing along with the how to register info.

Read the rules of the tournament and how to register. It says to message Kaito-kun, not post it here on the forum.

SORRY I DONT UNDERSTAND SO MUCH THAT

Registration is now closed

We already hit the 16 players limit, so registrations are officially closed now.

If you've been following the Slack server, you would've seen that it will be released about a week from R/O16.
In other words, it'll be here in a few days. Be patient.

One more week HYPE You guys better play well 'cause I'm watching. Just kidding. Hope everyone is going to have fun. And I'm cheering for all of you.

Brackets, Schedule, and Mappool for the RO16/Quater-Finals are up

They have been announced on Slack, so take a look at them and any questions/doubts/problems you have with them, please say them in the #tournament-talk chat on Slack (preferably not here, you are bound to be answered faster on Slack than here, as I'm more active there than in here)

Because no -_-.

Seriously speaking, all of the information will be sent on Slack, because it's easier to publish and better to discuss, among other reasons. And everyone who joins is meant to join the Slack, so if they are receiving the information on a "better" way, to put it bluntly, I don't see the reason to have a hurry to publish it here. I'm going to update, but not with the same priority as with Slack's publishing, as I should have already published the info by then, and at the same time, players should have received it too.
