Welcome to std!catch, a special game of tag.


Ruleset and more
The Setup

|Because I figure that matches with 16 people will last too long, the maximum player count is 10 for each match.
|The rank range for a match will be set in a separate post, each event will have its own post.
|Each match's mappool will be selected by me. It will suit the allowed rank range.

The actual Game


|9 Players will compete against The Chaser, a randomly selected player out of the 10. The Chaser is the only person allowed to pick a map from the pool.
|When a match starts, the Chaser has to grant the other players a head start that will be determined before the match. It is defined by the factor ' Length of Beatmap / 10 '. After this headstart, the Chaser is allowed to start playing, while the players have already started.
|The Chaser now gets the chance to overtake the other players in score. If they can reach a higher score than at least one of the players, said players are eliminated from the match. The Chaser/Referee now earns the right to remove the inferior players from the match.
|This will be repeated until only one player is left. This person is the winner of the match. Therefore the Chaser cannot win, unless they can eliminate all players before there is only one of them left (i.e. from 2 players left immediately to 0 players). The winner of the match will earn one std!point (name patent pending).
|Points have two functions: They function as a win condition for the entire event (depending on e.g. how many participants we have) and they function as a currency! That's right, there is a potencial prize you can win by checking in points! I plan to have the following bounties:

Prizes


|40 Pts. = 1 Month of osu!supporter
|80 Pts. = 3 Months of osu!supporter
|More to come!

Please note that this game is still a concept. I will change the ruleset from time to time, because there will be more and more things to be changed that can only be found by playing the game. New rules will be announced in a specific post and will be included in this main post. I will configure the mappool in the upcoming days. If you are interested to join, please post after I open the registration.



Registration for matches 1 and 2 are open!

Registered players for R1:

I think this will be really enjoyable. You plan on streaming those matches?

I have no experience in the client-thingy but if you need a streamer as a support, here I am baby

Oh, I didn't mention that all matches will be streamed and that every knocked-out player can follow the rest of the game at my livestream channel? My b.

Really interesting idea! Count me in, please!
Queerix
Oooooo, sounds interesting.... I might look forward to this :D

This sounds like a great idea!

However, how would you be able to regulate when the Chaser starts; that is, how can you make sure the Chaser starts at the right time?

By measuring the time separately. Of course, all players have to be playing with good intentions in order for everything to work properly, and if rules are violated, I am more than happy to set these players into a blacklist of some sort.

Interresting gamemode idea indeed! Count me in aswell!

Alright, I am glad I have already found some interested people. If you know some friends that might enjoy this format, please do feel free to share this forum thread.

Anyway, I believe I am ready to announce Round 1 of std!catch!

And this will be the mappool:


Feint - Reprise [CRN's Insane] (Secretpipe)
Tsukasa - Heat of Bramble [Maolvis' Lunatic] (Mao)
USAO - Night sky [Another] (Mel)
The Prodigy - Nasty (Spor Remix) [Insane] (Shadren)
MYTK - Yggdrasil [dksslqj's EXHAUST] (P o M u T a)
Epik High - Fly [A I R] (Zetera)
guna with team kyukkyu - subconsciousness [Another] (Charles445)
GUHROOVY - LA FESTA LA VITA!! [Another] (Frey)
Hatsune Miku - Netoge Haijin Sprechchor [Insane] (Lalarun)
nana(Sevencolors) - Chameleon [Chameleon] (L_P)
The Flashbulb - Chik Habit [Hyper] (Fort)
WESTARENA by MLREC. - Round! [Insane] (Sushi)
Warak - Reanimate [N a s y a's Another] (iyasine)
Black Sun Empire - Dawn Of A Dark Day (Receptor Remix) [Marathon] (Natteke)


These maps are freemod picks. Like this, matches are guaranteed to be even for every single player, since there may be a scenario in which a player has a deficit in a map that might be balanced via a mod.

In this round, the rank range is intended to be between #10,000 and #21,999. There will be two matches. No additional rules apply.

Registration is open, 20 players may participate. There will be no stocks, ergo players will be eliminated after they lose to the Chaser.

The first match will take part on March 25, 2016, 15:00 UTC. Make sure to register in time.

Good luck and a nice set of matches to everyone!

Well I guess I can't play in the first match since I'll be in school at the time. ;w;

Can I still register for the other matches?

Of course you can. This first match will likely only be possible for european players, but I play to have the second match right after the first one, that's why the registration runs for 20 players at the moment. I will sign you up for the second match then.

I'm afraid your rank is too high for this round, but there will be rounds with a rank range where you can take part.

Well, unless we get a big amount of players in here by tomorrow, we'll have to postpone the match until there are enough players.

unfortunately, your rank is too low for participating in these 2 matches. There will however be matches for your rank range as well.

I will of course invite all registered players to a multiplayer lobby. Make sure to have this option enabled.
