Ruleset

Tournament rules

1. The osu!mania 7K Chinese National Cup is a head-to-head individual tournament, played on the osu!mania game mode.
2. Beatmap scoring will be based on Score V2.
3. The beatmaps for each round will be announced by the Mappool Selector Team before the actual matches take place.

   • Each mappool, except for the Qualifier stage, will contain a tiebreaker beatmap. It will only be played in case of a tie in the scoreline in the "best of" system, e.g., the scoreline is 4-4 and the match is best of 9, the tiebreaker shall be played.the scoreline is 4-4 and the match is best of 9, the tiebreaker shall be played.
4. Match schedule will be handled by the Tournament Management.
5. If no referees are available at match time, the match will be postponed.
6. Failed players' scores will be considered losses, even if they are higher than the opponent.

   • Reviving and surviving during a beatmap is considered as passing it.
7. Use of the Visual Settings to alter background dim or disable beatmap elements like storyboards and skins is allowed.

   • Custom skin elements must not be used to alter core gameplay mechanics.
8. Teams may ask for a rematch if a team member encounters technical difficulties while playing.

   • "Lag spikes" are not considered a valid reason to nullify a beatmap.
   • If a rematch happens, the original roster for each team during that particular beatmap must remain the same.
   • This rule is not to be abused. Referees may veto a rematch request if they find that this is the case.
9. Beatmaps must not be reused in the same match, except for rematches.
10. If a player is not present at match time, it can be postponed for up to 10 minutes. If they are still absent after this period, a win by default will be declared for the player present.
11. All players and staff must be treated with respect. Instructions of the referees and the Tournament Management are to be followed. Decisions labelled as final are not to be objected.
12. Disrupting the match by foul play, insulting and provoking other players or staff, delaying the match and other deliberate inappropriate misbehaviour are strictly prohibited.
13. Breaking chat rules results in a silence. Silenced players cannot participate in multiplayer matches.
14. Unexpected incidents will be handled by the Tournament Management. Referees may allow higher tolerance depending on the given circumstances. This is up to their discretion.

Qualifier instructions

3. The Qualifier pool contains 5 maps, all of which will use FreeMod rules.

5. The mappool will be played in the order the maps are listed.
6. There will be an optional 5-minute break in between the first and second playthrough of the mappool.
7. All players will play their qualifiers in separate rooms. We suggest players not to broadcast or share their results to avoid seed manipulation.
8. The top 16 seeded players will advance to the Round of 16 (or Round of 32 if there are enough players).

Stage instructions

1. Following the Qualifier stage, a double-elimination stage will be played. This means that the winner continues in the winners' bracket, and the losing player gets moved to the losers' bracket.
2. Players in the losers’ bracket must play 2 matches each weekend starting from the Quarterfinals.
3. Players who lose a match in the losers' bracket get eliminated from the tournament.

Win conditions

• In the Qualifiers, teams need to place in the top 32 seeded teams in order to advance to the double-elimination stage.
• In the Round of 32, teams need to win 5 maps to win a match (best of 9).
• In the Round of 16 and Quarterfinals, teams need to win 6 maps to win a match (best of 11).
• In the Semifinals, Finals, and Grand Finals, teams need to win 7 maps to win the match (best of 13).

Match instructions

1. A referee will create a multiplayer room 15 minutes in advance. Players must gather during this period.

   • Room settings are Game mode: osu!mania, Team mode: Head-to-head, Win Condition: "ScoreV2". Room name must be MCNC7K2021: ({Red team}) vs ({Blue team}).
2. Each player can ban one beatmap from the mappool. These beatmaps cannot be picked by any player in the entire match.
3. Beatmap selection will alternate between each player selecting a beatmap in the mappool.
4. Each player must use !roll once in #multiplayer.

   • The winner of the !roll starts picking the first beatmap of the match.
   • The loser of the !roll starts banning one beatmap, followed by the winner of the !roll to ban a beatmap.
5. Players will have 2 minutes to pick a beatmap and 2 minutes to get ready. If a player takes more time than allotted more than once, a random map will be chosen from the mappool using !roll with the number of maps that were neither picked nor banned, excluding the tiebreaker. Repeat offenders may receive further sanctions from the Tournament Management.
6. Players will be given at most a 3-minute timeout for solving unexpected situations.
7. Qualifier results will be published via a statistics sheet.

Mappool instructions

If not informed, the Tournament Management will decide the match time at their own discretion. The daily schedule will be released a day beforehand.
3. If a player needs to make a temporary change after deciding the match time, rescheduling can only be considered with the consent of both players, and the scheduled time must be set to at least one day after informing the Tournament Management.
