All pools will be anime-themed. The criteria of picking maps are as follows:
Songs with anime sources are the main focuses of the mappool.
Songs from games are allowed as long as the series has an anime adaptation, manga, movie/OVA, or a light novel.
Songs that are in any language other than Japanese are allowed as long as they fit the criteria listed above.
Songs that are remixed or covered are allowed as long as they fit the criteria listed above.
If games do not have an anime, manga, movie/OVA or light novel but is anime-themed, they are allowed.
Vocaloid songs are allowed.
We will take sixteen teams first. If it goes over that, we may do qualifiers OR if it reaches thirty two teams, we will cap it at that.
Referees, streamers and commentators may play in the tournament. Mappoolers are not allowed to do so.
Anyone within the rank range of #30,000 to #70,000 may join. We will have a 500 rank leeway. If any one of your team's members does not meet the rank range after registrations have ended, your team will automatically be disqualified.
After registrations end, you will be free to rank up or down.
Teams will be seeded by rank.
We have the right to disqualify your team from the tournament if there are any suspicious players from your team.
If possible (and if we get streamers), we will try to stream matches as early as RO16/RO32.
Round of 16 (and Round of 32) will be a BO7 (first to 4), Quarterfinals and Semifinals will be BO9 (first to 5), Finals are BO11 (first to 6), and Grand Finals will be BO13 (first to 7).
Round of 16 (and Round of 32) will only allow one ban. Quarterfinals onwards will have two bans.
Qualifiers will follow a mappool format of 2/1/1/1, RO16 (and RO32) will follow a mappool format of 4/2/2/2/3/1, while Quarterfinals all the way to Grand Finals will follow a mappool format of 6/3/3/3/3/1. Finals and Grand Finals will have the same mappool.
In Free Mod, all of the players are required to pick a mod. They are allowed to pick the same mod. Eligible mods are HD, HR, FL, and EZ.
