Ruleset

General rules

1. nik's Spring/Summer Tour 2019 is a one-on-one tournament using double-elimination bracket and Score V2 as its map scoring.
2. Rank ranges are explained as follows:

   • Badge-weighted seeding (BWS) is used in this tournament to more accurately seed players and enforce rank restrictions. It works by taking into account the amount of recorded tournament wins (via badges) that a player has in addition to their rank. More information about BWS can be accessed via this link.
   • For Tier 1, we are expecting between #1 - #4,999.
   • For Tier 2, we are expecting between #5,000 - #25,000.
   • Top 64 seeds from qualifiers for each tier will be put in groups of 4 based on rank.
3. Suspicious accounts will not be accepted into the tournament. This includes people who have really low playcount or really low hours of playtime.
4. We only accept our Google form link as a way to register.

6. Disrespect towards your assigned referee, and/or your opponent, will not be tolerated. (Also applies for the Discord server and towards other staff members)

Match procedures

1. At Qualifiers Stage, participants will be assigned to a lobby based on participants' availability and they will play for score, not position achieved during the match. This is because NSST 2019 staff will compare your score to everyone in the tournament so as to make it more fair. Participants will play all maps in the pool once.

   • Scores will be rescaled to be up to 1,000,000 and then added up.
   • The top 32 players sorted with their highest score summed, will go through.
   • The mappool consists of: 3 NoMod, 2 Hidden, 2 HardRock, and 2 DoubleTime maps.

   • In Quarterfinals, participants need to win 5 beatmaps to win a match (Best-of-9) and will have to bann 1 map per match.
   • In Semifinals, participants need to win 6 beatmaps to win a match (Best-of-11) and will have to bann 1 map per match.
   • In the Finals and Grand Finals, participants need to win 7 beatmaps to win a match (Best-of-13) and will have to bann 1 map per match.
