General Provisions #

Tournament format #

This year’s osu! Switzerlan tourney will be played in a 1v1 format. Players will sign up through the Switzerlan website. This tournament will be played on osu!stable client using score v2.

Qualifiers #

The tournament starts with a qualifier system. The players will play in self-reffed lobbies. Each player must create their own lobby according to the “Lobby Settings” section. Upon entering the lobby, the player must immediately send their match link to a tournament administrator. The match link can be seen in the chat when you create the multiplayer lobby.

The advancing players will be determined by adding the combined normalized scores across the qualifier pool and comparing them to the other players’. The top 16 players will advance. Players will be only be allowed a single playthrough of the mappool. The qualifier lobbies must be finished by 21:30.

Map Rules #

Once started, the map must be played until the end. The qualifier score of a map is determined by the scores submitted to the /mp/ link. A player’s score is counted as long as they do not quit during the map. If a map is played on the wrong settings e.g. wrong mod or score system, it will be replayed.

Bracket #

The tournament continues in a double-elimination format. Players who lose a match continue playing in the loser’s bracket. Participants who lose a match in the loser’s bracket will be eliminated from the tournament.

After both brackets have concluded, the winners of the two brackets compete in the grand finals at the Herofest osu! booth. If the player coming from the losers’ bracket wins, an additional match will be played. However, if the player from the winner’s bracket wins, they win the tournament.
