Welcome to the second Ex Yu 2v2 osu! Standard tournament!
The tournament is now officially over!
Congratulations!!!
As the title says, this is a 2v2 osu! tournament in osu! Standard. Ex Yu stands for Ex-Yugoslavia which means only players from Ex-Yu countries can apply. Those are Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosovo(which is not yet an official country in osu! Why Peppy whyy?). There are no requirements other than the country one. Players of any skill level can apply - the more the merrier. Tournament starts in March and ends in April.
Application protocol
Applications are now officially open and they're ending on February 29th 23:59 CLOSED.
If you wish to apply for the tournament, you'll need to send a PM to Schultzika(me). Your message must contain links to the players' profiles (your teammate and your own). Soon after you should get a message of approval from me.
The only requirement for the tournament is that both players from each team have one of these flags(players do not necessarily need to be from the same country):

Tournament organization
The tournament will start off with a group stage. Number of groups and number of teams in each group will vary depending on the number of teams applied. The tournament will then proceed to the double elimination stages. Also, depending on the number of teams applied, first elimination round will be either round of 32 or 16. Most likely it will be round of 16, since the expected number of teams applied is about 40.
Once the application phase is over, all teams will be sorted by their average pp score. Then, each team will be given a seed number depending on their pp. Better teams will be put in higher seed groups and so on. Number of seed groups will also depend on the number of teams applied. All seed groups will have the same amount of players, with the exception of last seed group which will most likely have less players, since we don't know how many teams will apply.
After the seed groups have been decided, real groups will be randomly drawn. Each group will be given one team from each seed group, with the exception of last seed group which will probably have less players. That way, all groups will be somewhat equal in terms of skill and number of teams.
Each round will have a different map pool consisting of 19 maps:

Match protocol / Rules
Match protocol / Rules
If you wish to reschedule your match, contact Gumica as soon as possible!
Some matches will not be overseen by the tournament staff. That means the players will have to organize the matches themselves. Protocol for a match is stated bellow. Make sure to follow these rules. In case you have a question, feel free to ask any of the tournament staff members. There will surely be someone online at the time of each match.
Creating a room
When the time of your match comes, contact your opponents. Anyone can make the room you'll play in. The name of the room MUST follow this format:
OBC2016: (team x) vs (team y)
Substitute x and y with your team numbers which can be found here: PP averages.
For example:
OBC2016: (team 13) vs (team 24)
The room must have a password (any password will do). When everyone enters the room, team with the bigger pp average MUST BE blue. The other team is red.
Team pp averages can also be found here: PP averages.
Players from the blue team MUST BE on slots 1 and 2 in the room, while the red ones MUST BE on 3 and 4.
Warmup
1. Blue team chooses warmup map - the map is played.
2. Red team chooses warmup map - the map is played.
-Warmup maps can be anything(ranked or not) but the length must be under 7 minutes.
Ban phase
3. In ban phase, blue team first bans one map, then the red one and so on(to ban a map, just type the name of the song in chat).
This is so the weaker players don't have to play the maps they can't even play.
IMPORTANT: These rules apply only in group stage. In the elimination stage of the tournament, all teams have only 2 bans.
Tie break map cannot be banned.
IMPORTANT: A team doesn't have to use all their bans.
Playing
4. The match starts - red team chooses a map from the map pool, then the blue team and so on.
-This is repeated until one team wins(number of wins required depends on the tournament stage).
-Each map from the map pool can be played only once.
-Maps must be played with specified mods.
-Free mod maps are played with free mods, no mod must stay no mod.
5. If the result is a tie, tie break map is played.
-Tie break is treated as freemod except nobody is forced to use any mods.
6. When the winner is decided, anyone from the winning team must send Gumica a match link(when you create a multiplayer room under the Multiplayer tab BanchoBot will say "Match history available here").
-If you don't send Gumica the match link - both teams get 0 points.
