Hello everyone! Welcome to the first edition of the osu! international _k tournament.
From the creator of the _k weekly tournament, this is a new tournament with the concept of having an international 4v4 country based tournament that would be more accessible to people, especially to 5 digit players.
You can register in team or solo. If you sign up solo you will be assigned into a team with other players who have signed up alone.
Please note: If 2 or more teams from the same country signed up, they will compete against each other in a national tournament to decide who will represent their country.
And yes the tournament is entirely streamed.
1. The tournament is a 4 versus 4 country based tournament. Every team can have a maximum of 8 players.
2. This tournament will use the Score v2 scoring system. The team that has the higher score will be awarded a point.
3. Match schedules will be settled by the Tournament staff well in advance.
4. If a reschedule is needed, both the captains have to discuss and agree on a new time to play. When you agreed on a time, please send a screenshot to the lead scheduler as confirmation.
5. The mappool for each round will be announced by the mappool selectors or the host a week before the matches are played.
6. There will be a mappool for every main mod, including nomod. (Nomod, Hardrock, Hidden, DoubleTime, Freemod and a tiebreaker.)
7. Failed players' scores do not get added to the total team score.
8. If a player disconnects while playing, he will be treated as he failed the map.
9. Exchanging players during a match is allowed.
10. Every player has to be 5 digit when they sign up. During the tournament they may rank up no further than rank #9.000.
11. Beatmaps cannot be reused in the same match.
12. If a team doesn't have 4 players at the time the match has to start, the match can be postponed for a maximum of 10 minutes.
13. If multiple teams of the same country sign up, they will compete in a national tournament to decide who will compete against the other teams.
14. In case that disconnects happen during the match, the referee will decide on possible restarts.
15. Lag is NOT a reason to replay a map
16. If a player disconnects between the beatmaps and the team can not provide a replacement, the match can be delayed no longer than 10 minutes.
17. Don't be toxic against staff or other players and keep a sportive spirit! In case of toxic behaviour, punishments will follow.
18. Disrupting the match by foul play and picking inappropriate warmup maps (see below) is prohibited.
19. Instructions of the referees and tournament management are to be followed at all times.
20. The chat of the multiplayers lobby has to follow the osu!community rules.
21. Cheating is not authorized. (That means, anything that you can get restricted for.)
22. The captain of the team is obligated to join the discord.
23. There is only one freemods pick per mappool, which is unbannable.
24. While playing the freemod pick, possible mod choices are: Hidden, HardRock and Hidden+HardRock
25. When playing the FreeMod map, at least 2 players of each team must have at least one mod activated. For the remaining players, activating mods is optional.
27. Any modification of these rules will be announced.

[notice]
We plan to have AT LEAST 100 euros that will be shared over all players of the winning team.
Any additional money gathered through donations on stream will be added to the total prize pool. (also no worry, it will be mostly way higher than 100 euros.)
EDIT: We are going for at least 200 euros, but it will be most likely between 300 and 500.
