Welcome to the first off-topic mapping contest! the participants will be mapping osu!standard maps and competing for the podium, the contest will start when at least 7 people join in, anyone (with experience in mapping or not) can join and have some fun. The challenger can choose any song that is featured in osu!, take the one you feel more comfortable with and start doing your thing, if you make multiple diffs only the hardest one will be rated by the judges. Its important to remember that each judge has a preference and a opinion of what a good map is about, the details will be listed below.



Judge Polyspora
Likes: tech maps, slider art, creative patterns.
Dislikes: reading focused maps, pauses, slow sliders.

Judge Abraker
Likes: 4 star maps, and symbolic style mapping, reading, streams, and agility type maps.
Dislikes: easy jumps, sliders.

Judge Roshan117
Likes: 160-200bpm, flow aim, streams.
Dislikes: pure jump maps, extreme diffspikes (especially at the end), anything above 210 bpm.



RULES TO PARTICIPATE:

1. At least 60% of the song needs to me mapped, 55% is tolerable but you may lose some points (the minimum draw time allowed is 1:30), any lower than this you'll be disqualified.

2. The star rating will be capped to 6.00 stars, the judges cant rate something they cant 
 play.
2.1 Judge Abraker will give 0 points to any map that goes above 5.00 stars

3. Your map BPM and timing needs to be correct for it to be approved.

4. If your map cant be downloaded, be it a glitch or some sketchy thing, you'll unfortunately, be disqualified.

5. Your beatmap page needs to identify that the map was made for this contest somewhere, be it the diff name or in the description of the map.

6. You can only use musics that are featured, any other will be denied.

7. The map needs to be uploaded to osu! official site.

8. Foul play will not be tolerated. This is a contest with rewards bearing actual value. Every contestant is expected to have a fair chance at winning. If you can't follow this, you will be mercelessly disqualified from this contest and probably from any other osu! contests as well.

9. If you send your map in the last hour of the event, expect the analysis to be a little 
rushed.


We are going to reward the top 3 players who made the highest score. follow the prizes for each winner:

First place: osu! merch + 4 months supporter

Second place: 2 months supporter

Third place: 1 month supporter

Judgement:
Your map will be rated by the judges, the minimum points you can earn is 0 and the maximum is 1000 (per judge), the results will be revealed as soon as the contest ends, take your time to make the best map you can.


You'll have 50 days (starting 03/09/2022 DD/MM/YY) to make your map.
GLHF!








SPECIAL THANKS to Abraker, Roshan117 and Pentaqola for helping me out in this project <3

DISCLAIMER: The merch item will be handed by me, I'll DM the winner so we can proceed to the shipment information step. The supporter tag will be given by Roshan117.

went through the featured artists and picked out 12 songs, will look through them later to see if I think I can finish any of them and which I think I can map best.

I have never mapped standard in my life, but it probably couldn't hurt to try, right? How much worse could it be compared to taiko?

sliders. abraker is interested in the concept of a circle-only map, maybe you could try that?

you can use anything that is not prohibited in the rules. just remember no infinite/negative bpm (conflicts with rule 3) and the difficult of the map needs to be >=5*

We should make less or more than 5.00 stars???

thats a nice initiative of you, but I think it would just break the logic in first, second and third place

If you got problems with that, put them with me cause I was the one who pushed for that rule. If you want the rule removed, so be it, but then I will rate the map a straight up 0 if it's over 5 stars. Can't judge shit I cannot play ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've played less than an hour of STD but I guess other people can feel better about themselves now.

(Apparently it's actually 63 minutes.)

yes this rule actually brings problems, limited musical representation is the most crucial aspect i can think of right now

you don't even have to play to understand how a map works in standard, or even map for that matter

hell dude tocorn has 2 ranked 8* maps even tho he's 6-digit
or maybe cryo this guy is considered one of the best and has made countless maps over 6* or even 7*, has 1 100pp play
or tkh, which i shouldn't even have to say anything?

these are just examples, i know you can find more people like those

c'mon dude this is definitely not it, playability should NOT interfere with the judging of a map, especially to this degree

I kind of like the max insane diff restriction tbh, admittedly 5.00* is kind of arbitrary but the line would have to be drawn somewhere, and we cant expect everyone here to have the same idea of the difference between an easy expert and a hard insane diff. Its not like easier difficulty maps are worth less than expert+ maps.

It'd also be nice if most people in OT could play the maps after the contest is over, many of the participants so far don't map std anyway and its mostly a for fun contest.

plus making good insane maps that can stand on their own and not just easier/less complex expert maps is something I want to get better at anyway. aside from actually finishing a map for once

Wait if we can't send maps in at the final week then does that mean that we only get a maximum of 43 days?

Can't map but still gonna join since why not


I agree that the 5star range rule is not good. I understand why it's important but i think you should expand it to 4-6star

nah its over for you lot after i join. i already won the whole bloody contest before it even started lmaooooo [evillaugh.wav]

on a side note, i gotta agree with aiq here. sometimes mapping isn't about wheather you can pass a certain map or not rather how you turn a song into a playable strings of circles and sliders. and spinners

on a side note number 2, maybe it'll be good to have a mapper or someone who have a good knowledge on mapping to judge the maps? maybeee?
