Planned Starting Date: September 15, 2018
Still looking for Staff, need Referees and Commentators.
NO PLAYER SLOTS LEFT. 32 PLAYERS HAVE SIGNED UP.
Introduction
In my time playing osu (including tournaments) as well as mapping, I've noticed a divide between these two sides of the community. Aside from a few big name high level players (Azer, Emilia, Halfslashed, etc), it seems that A lot of players tend to one side of the community or the other. With this tournament, I hope to at least start a change in this, introducing some tournament focused players to mappers and the mapping scene and vice versa.
This will be the second iteration of this tournament, and as a result there are a few things that have changed. Please make sure you read through the info below so you know whats up.[/centre]
What is this Tournament?
The Player x Mapper Tournament will be a 32 person 1v1 tournament for the 8k-25k rank range using the Score V1 scoring system. The tourmament format will be Groups into Single Elimination with a Third Place Match. Players will be seeded into their groups based of pp (as dumb as that is).
Each player that signs up will be asked to choose a mapper to represent in the tournament. Once a mapper is chosen, the player makes a pool of only that mapper's maps. Sets and GDs are allowed (Meaning your mapper's GD on another person's set), but collab difficulties are not. There will be a total of 5 maps submitted for each player (2 No Mod, 1 of Hidden, Hard Rock and Double Time). These maps must be within the star range set for this tournament (4.60* - 5.60*). There will also be a limit on Drain time (Min 0:50 Drain, Max 5:30 Drain). Once you've submitted a valid pool, you will be locked in for that mapper (no one else can choose them), so pick early to get the mapper you want. You will be playing to win supporter for both yourself AND your chosen mapper.
Note: You cannot pick yourself as a mapper. You also cannot pick any of the tournament staff (In Blue or Green roles in Discord) as your mapper. Also please make sure the mapper you are choosing has 5 rankable qualitity maps. You could just choose your irl friend, but if their maps aren't up to rank standard your entry will be rejected.
If you are playing in this tournament, you cannot be staff as I am planning to apply for a Badge for this iteration.
Match Procedure
The Ref of your match will invite you to the game starting 10 minutes before the match is scheduled. If one player does not join the map within 10 minutes of the scheduled start time, the opponent player gets one point. After 15 minutes, the absent player forfiets the match and is out of the tournament.
If both players agree, Warmup maps can be played, but there is a maximum drain time of 3 minutes on any warmup map.
After warmups (or immediately if players do not want to play them) Each player will roll. High roll Picks first.
Players proceed to pick from eachother's pools (meaning you don't get to pick the maps from the pool you made) until one player reaches three map wins (4 in the finals/3rd place match)
If a Tiebreaker map is to be played, there will be 3 possible maps to pick from. There are three maps to break the tie, and each player gets to ban one of them. The player who picks the first map of the match bans their Tiebreaker first. Once the match is finished, the result is posted in the match results discord channel.
