Strafe is back with their long-awaited 1v1 division-based tournament, and under a new name no less: Strafe Solo Series! If you've participated in one of our tournaments before, you might be asking what's up with the tournament title revamp. Due to the amount of changes Strafe has undergone over the past few months, we've decided it would be best to start anew under a fresh name! This tournament will be the catalyst of many upcoming events within the Strafe community and I hope you join us in this opening tournament!
- To participate you must register and join the Discord server. Once in the Discord server make sure to have your nickname match your osu! username exactly.
- This is an osu!standard 1v1 tournament.
- There will be 5 separate rank-based divisions. Each with their own qualifiers, bracket, and mappools.
- This tournament has no participant cap and features a qualifiers stage followed by a 12-player double elimination bracket.
- Matches will be played with ScoreV2 and Head to Head.
- Qualifier results will be ranked by players' combined score across all maps in the qualifiers pool. The top 12 of each division will move onto their respective brackets and are seeded based off their qualifiers ranking.
- Qualifiers mappool will be slightly harder than Round of 12 and Quarterfinals mappools.
- There will be a total of 6 mappools throughout the tournament. Mappools will be released after all matches over the respective weekend end.
- Matches will be played on Saturday and Sunday. If needed, weekday matches are permitted if agreed upon.
- All matches will be scheduled based off the players' preferred time zones. Qualifiers lobby assignments will also do the same.
- The time zone being used throughout the tournament will be UTC, please familiarize yourself with it.
- All matches within the top 3 or top 2 (TBD) in each division will be streamed.

- Players have a 10 minute grace period. If 10 minutes have passed since the scheduled match time and a player is not present, their opponent will be given a win by default.
- Warm-up maps cannot exceed 5:00 in length. The referee will give players host temporarily for the purpose of warm-ups.
- Each player is allowed 1 ban.
- Only roll when the referee has prompted you to. Winner of the roll gets 1st warm-up, 2nd ban, and 1st pick.
- Failed scores do not count.
- If a player has a genuine disconnect within the first 30 seconds of a map, the map will be replayed. However during qualifiers this rule does not apply, disconnecting is treated as a fail.
- Displaying intentional disruption or toxicity during a match will be met with a warning, continuing to do so after the warning is grounds for a match loss.
- Players are expected to have the match progress in a timely manner. This is also enforced by a 90-second timer for each ban or pick that takes place. Failure to ban will result in no ban and failure to pick will result in the pick transferring over to the opponent.
- Maps in the 'Free Mod' bracket requires players to use at least 1 mod. Permitted mods are HD, HR, FL.
- Permitted mods are allowed in the case of a Tiebreaker, but not required.
- Staff members are allowed to participate in the tournament, but they may not participate in any staff context pertaining to their division. Mappool Selectors may not pool and Referees may not ref their own division. Tournament Organizers may not participate in any capacity.
- All qualifiers mappools contain: 4NM, 2HD, 2HR, 2DT. All maps will be played once during qualifiers.
- Bracket mappools will scale in size according to the current 'Best of'.
The winner of each division will receive 1 month of osu!supporter as a prize!
