osu! Match Procedure

1. The match lobby will be created by the referee, and the captain (osu! player) of both teams will be invited.
2. Players have a strict 15 minute grace period to show up to the match. If 15 minutes pass and a team does not show up, the other team will receive a win by default unless a reschedule is agreed upon within a timely manner.
3. At the start of the match, both players in the lobby roll. The roll winner will have the first ban and first pick, whereas the loser will ban second and pick second.
4. The referee can give host to the players for warmups only. The referee will have host for the entire match after warmups.
5. Warmup maps can not exceed a duration of 4:30.
6. The referee is not allowed to play during the match, warmup is fine.
7. On group stage, all 6 players from the group are required to be in the lobby on time and will play through all the maps once. Their position on each map will determine how many points they score with 1st getting 1 point and 2nd getting 2 points, etc. The 2 teams with the lowest score combined with their Minecraft teammate advance to brackets.
8. In Round of 16, each team is allowed 1 ban per match. Banned maps are effectively removed from the mappool for the duration of the match and are not allowed to be picked. During Quarterfinals and above, each team will be allowed 2 bans per match.
9. Teams are allowed to ban out a mod-pool.
10. Teams have 2 minutes to ban a map; if they fail to ban in the allotted time, that ban is skipped.
11. Teams have 2 minutes to select a map; if they fail to choose in the allotted time, the map choice will pass to the other team. This will have no effect on the order of picks afterward.
12. There is no restriction on map selection order; teams may select any available map at any time regardless of mod.
13. For freemod picks, both players in the lobby are required to use at least 1 mod. Mods allowed are Hidden, Hard Rock, Flashlight, and Easy. Easy multipliers vary based on the maps.
14. Players are allowed, but not required, to use mods on tiebreaker maps.
15. Once the map choice is locked in, players will have 90 seconds to ready up. The referee will start the match when all players are ready. If the 90-second timer ends, the referee will force an !mp start 10 command regardless of whether the players are ready.
16. Failed scores count.
17. In the case of a disconnection occuring in the first few seconds, the map will be replayed.
18. If a player finishes the map but is unable to return to the lobby, their score will still count if a screenshot of the score is provided.

Minecraft Match Procedure

1. Minecraft players have a strict 15 minute grace period to show up to the Minecraft server. If 15 minutes pass and a team does not show up, the other team will receive a win by default unless a reschedule is agreed upon within a timely manner.
2. The players may begin when the first map of the osu! match commences (warmups do not count).
3. The referee is not allowed to be in any gamemode other than spectator.
4. On group stage, all 6 players from the group are required to be in the server on time and will play through minigames instead of completing survival tasks. Their placing on each minigame will determine how many points they score with 1st getting 1 point and 2nd getting 2 points, etc. The 2 teams with the lowest score combined with their osu! teammate advance to brackets.
5. As the Best Of for the osu! matches increase throughout the tournament, so do the amount of tasks that can be completed in Minecraft.
6. Minecraft players take up the same task in the order given.
7. The first player to finish each tasks gain a point for the osu! match.
8. Disconnecting from the server doesn't affect anything.
