The Lazer Grand Arena is a multi-bracket (single, and later double elimination) tournament, played on osu!(lazer), osu! ruleset.
Beatmap scoring is based on the default osu!(lazer) scoring.
The mappool for each stage will be announced by the mappool selectors on the official stream at appropriate times.
The match schedules for each stage will be announced by the tournament managers on this page, as well as the information spreadsheet, on the Sunday before the matches take place.
Use of the Visual Settings to alter background dim or disable beatmap elements like storyboards and skins is allowed.
If either player is not present at match time, the match can be postponed for up to 10 minutes. If after this period either player is not present, a win by default will be declared for the other player. If neither player is present, the match will be nullified and the player who was slated to play against the winner of this match will receive one bye.
Players may ask for a rematch if they encounter technical issues while playing within 30 seconds or 25% of the beatmap drain length (whichever happens first) of the game's start. Referees may, at their discretion, veto this request.
If a player disconnects mid-game, their score will not be counted towards their cumulative, unless adequate proof of said score is provided. The following are considered as acceptable proof:
Player point-of-view live stream snippets (commonly referred to as "clips" or "VODs"). The entirety of the play, along with the results screen must be clearly visible along with the affected player's score.
Replay files of the play, taken directly from the "Local scores" tab on the affected player's client (the timestamps must exactly match the time at which the game took place, as seen on the multiplayer lobby link).
Player scores may be derived from the official stream as a last resort, in cases where the match is streamed.
Players are expected to keep the match running fluently and without delays. Excessive match delays from the players' side may result in penalties being applied by the tournament managers. Disrupting the match by foul play, insulting or provoking other players or staff, delaying the match, and other deliberate inappropriate misbehaviour are strictly prohibited, and will be punished accordingly.
Any attempts to manipulate bracket outcomes or future matchups may result in the immediate disqualification of the player from the competition. Examples of manipulative behavior include, but are not limited to:
Deliberately playing poorly to lose a game or match.
Colluding with other players to force a desired matchup.
Forfeiting bracket matches without providing an adequate reasoning, or with the intention of getting a more favourable matchup.
All players and staff must be treated with respect. Instructions from the referees and the tournament managers are to be followed. Decisions labelled as final are not to be objected.
The multiplayer chatrooms underlie the
osu! community rules. All chat rules apply to the multiplayer chatrooms where the matches will take place.
Penalties for violating the tournament rules include, but are not limited to:
Removal of pick rights for a game or match.
Point deductions.
Declaring the match as forfeited, or as a win by default for the other player.
Disqualification from the entire tournament.
Disqualification from the current and future official tournaments, until appealed.
Referees may allow, at their discretion, lower or higher tolerances for timers.
The tournament managers may request liveplays or recordings of individual players at any point in the tournament without prior warning.
The tournament managers will be responsible for receiving and investigating any tournament-related complaints.
The tournament managers reserve the right to modify these rules at any moment. Any such changes will be announced in advance.
Every user interested in playing will be be required to sign up by utilising the osu! tournament listing
linked above.
Exceptionally, every player placed #2,500 or higher on the osu! global ranking that participates on the osu!(lazer) playlist, as detailed on the
Qualifier information section will be eligible for participation as competitors, provided that they pass our internal checks before playing bracket stage matches (if applicable). Players that meet these criteria and place on the top 32 qualified players will be messaged individually via the website.
To ensure valid registrations, every prospective participant will be manually checked by the
account support team, in a manner similar to the
tournament screening that is offered to community tournaments. To be successfully accepted on the list, players are required to be placed #2,500 or higher on the osu! global ranking, and not have violated the
osu! community rules within the last 12 months.
All successfully registered players will be published after the registration phase on this page.
Participants will be briefed on further steps via an announcement message on the website.
Tournament staff members are
not allowed to play in the tournament, with the exception of commentators, statisticians, and streamers.
The tournament managers must ensure that such staff members do not have access to priviledged information, e.g. Qualifiers score information, mappool information before the mappool showcase, etc. They are to be treated as regular players whenever possible.
In the Qualifier stage, all players will play a specific pool designed by the mappool selectors.
The Qualifier pool will feature 11 beatmaps, organised as such:
No Mod: 4 beatmaps
Hidden: 2 beatmaps
Hard Rock: 2 beatmaps
Double Time: 3 beatmaps
Players will participate in an osu!(lazer) playlist lobby, which can be completed anywhere from Sunday, July 7 19:00 UTC to Sunday, July 14 19:00 UTC.
Players will have 22 tries to use across the 11 playlist entries, with no restrictions on the order of play or amount of tries per individual item.
To be eligible for seeding, every player must submit at least one score for every beatmap listed.
Only the player's best attempt (i.e. highest score) will be used for every beatmap listed.
The lowest score across the 11 beatmaps will be removed from each player's seeding calculations.
The seeding method used for Qualifiers will be %MAX — the highest score for each map will receive 100% of the points, and every other player will be awarded a percentage of that top score.
The exact formula that will be used for all players (and for each map) is
Final Score = Player Score / MAX Score
, where:
Final Score
is the percentage awarded to the current player
Player Score
is the score the current player achieved on the current map
MAX Score
is the highest score achieved for the current map
The top 32 seeded players will advance to the bracket stage.
Matches for this stage of the tournament will have players play a fixed amount of maps, and the cumulative score difference across all maps will decide the winner.
Draft order will follow the ABBA format, where the first player (A) and the second player (B) will take turns picking and banning beatmaps.
Following the Qualifiers, the bracket stage will have two phases (one per weekend):
For the first weekend, a single-elimination bracket will be played from the Round of 32 up until the Quarterfinals.
For the second weekend, The 8 remaining players from the previous phase will then then play another set of matches, after which the remaining 4 players will be placed on a double-elimination bracket.
All matches in this phase will utilise the same mappool, except for the Losers' Bracket Finals and Grand Finals, where a new
osu! original will be introduced into the pool. The player with the highest cumulative score across the 7 picks wins.
The second weekend's pool will feature 15 maps, organised as such:
No Mod: 5 beatmaps
Hidden: 3 beatmaps
Hard Rock: 3 beatmaps
Double Time: 4 beatmaps
The draft order will be as follows:
The first player (A) will ban one beatmap, followed by the second player (B) also banning a beatmap: AB
Players will pick two beatmaps respecting the following order: BAAB
Both players will ban two beatmaps, as such: ABBA
Both players will pick one beatmap: AB
Both players will ban one beatmap: BA
The last beatmap remaining in the pool will be used as the 7th pick for the match.
Exceptionally, for the Losers' Bracket Finals and Grand Finals, steps 5 and 6 will not be applied, and the last pick will be an osu! original beatmap, to be released at match time.
A referee will create a multiplayer room 10 minutes before the scheduled match time. Players must join the lobby in that period.
Each player will receive one "tactical timeout" of 2 minutes, to be used as extra time to ban, pick, or ready for a beatmap. The tactical timeout may not be called on the opposing player's pick or ban phase.
Players will be allowed 2 minutes for each pick/ban phase (as described on the
bracket stage instructions section), and an additional 2 minutes to press the
Ready
button on their client before play commences. If a player takes more time than allotted for either action, the procedures adopted will be as follows:
For the first occurrence:
The player will receive a verbal warning from the referee; in addition, the referee may opt to forcefully use the player's tactical timeout to allow for the player to pick.
If the player does not pick a map within 15 seconds from when the timer expires, the referee will apply the procedure for subsequent occurrences listed below, i.e. a random pick will be used for a pick timer, and the match will be forcefully started for a ready timer.
On subsequent occurrences:
For a pick timer: a random map will be chosen from the mappool by rolling a random number, based on the amount of beatmaps that were neither picked nor banned.
For a ready timer: the referee will issue the start command on a 10-second countdown. In this scenario, if the referee starts the match and either player is not present in the lobby, their opponent will receive the point instead.
Repeat offenders may receive further sanctions from the tournament managers.
Qualifiers are not eligible for scheduling. Instead, players must take part in an osu!(lazer) playlist, as detailed on the
Qualifier information section.
All bracket stages will be held between Saturday 00:00 and Sunday 19:00 UTC.
Match scheduling will be handled by the tournament managers. Schedules will be released on the Sunday before the first matches of the stage. The tournament managers will try to create the schedule to respect the participants' time zones.
Reschedules will only be considered if both players agree to a time and communicate it to the tournament managers, before Wednesday 23:59 UTC of the week when the match is to take place.
Matches may not be scheduled to any time beyond Sunday, 19:00 UTC of the week they are to be played at.
Times earlier than Saturday, 0:00 UTC may be considered under specific circumstances. Please contact the tournament managers for more information.
Do not ask for a reschedule unless it is absolutely necessary. The tournament managers reserve the right to deny any rescheduling request.
Late reschedule requests will not be accepted under any circumstances.
