The osu!taiko World Cup is a country-based team tournament, played on the osu!taiko game mode.
Map scoring is based on Score V2. It uses an alternative way of weighting hit objects, accuracy and combo and alters various gameplay elements. It is available as unranked mod in song selection for practise on the Cutting Edge build.

If no staff or referee is available, the match will be postponed.
Failed players' scores do not get added to the team score.
Use of the Visual Settings to alter background dim or disable map elements like storyboards and skins are allowed.
If the beatmap ends in a draw, the game will be nullified.
If a player disconnects, they get treated as if they failed the map.
Beatmaps cannot be reused in the same match unless the game was nullified.
If less than the minimum required players attend, the maximum time the match can be postponed is 10 minutes.
