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 selection 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. if scoreline is 4–4 and the match is best of 9, the tiebreaker shall be played.
4. Match scheduling 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 these of their 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. Players 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 player's mod 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 15 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.
15. Penalties for violating the tournament rules include, but are not limited to:

    • Direct judgement of the score of one beatmap.
    • Declaring the match as forfeited, or as a win by default for the other player.
    • Disqualification from the entire tournament.
