Summoning all fruit catchers: the osu!catch World Cup is back for its 11th instalment!
The osu!catch World Cup brings with it a slew of changes — from the tournament format to the pool structure, no stone has been left unturned. Teams will play a Qualifier stage, where 9 maps will decide the who dashes to the top seeds for a Round of 32, double-elimination bracket. Furthermore, all pools after Qualifiers will feature the ubiquitous Mixed Mod bracket.
For more details on these changes, please refer to the osu!catch World Cup 2022 wiki article. You can discuss this event and follow the most important changes in the official discussion thread or at the public community server.

- Submit your registration before the 5th of May, 23:59 UTC — late registrations will not be allowed under any circumstances!
Please note that you may only participate if your osu!catch Global Ranking is #5000 or higher, and you have not violated the osu! community rules in the past 12 months.
If your registration passes our internal checks, you will be placed on the candidate list for your country. When the country's captain has been assigned, the list will be sent to them. This may take a while, so please be patient.
Remember that any registrations submitted after the deadline will not be considered under any circumstances — submit your registration ahead of time to avoid any last-minute headaches. If you run into any issues, send an email to tournaments@ppy.sh.
