Hello,
I am working on a map for a somewhat long song (total of 5:05, but there are several seconds of silence at the end). After mapping basically every part of it that has music, I get to a total of 4:57 of drain time.
From the ranking criteria page, I see that songs with 5 minutes of drain time or more can be ranked with a single difficulty in the map. Sadly I don't have that much spare time to work on additional difficulties, so I was hoping for a way to get ranked with my 4:57 of drain time. Some investigation did lead to a few examples of ranked maps with similar drain time below 5 minutes (and a single difficulty):
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/336345 - 4:57 drain time
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/373240 - 4:58 drain time
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/372358 - 4:59 drain time
Can someone please clarify for me how should I proceed if I want to get the map ranked in the same way? When I try to submit my map in the editor, the option to submit to pending beatmaps is not enabled, since I only have a single difficulty.
