Ruleset 4f5q1c

Tournament information 4e3471

1. Sparxe's Two Key Event (STKE) is a 1v1 tournament.
2. Beatmap scoring is based on ScoreV2.
3. All maps used in the tournament are dedicated 2-key osu!mania maps.
4. The tournament is Free Mod: players are allowed to use Hidden, Fade In, Flashlight, Mirror, any of the xK mods, or No Mod.
5. The NF mod may be used but is not mandatory; failed scores do not count to the end result. In the event that both players fail: the higher scoring player will claim one point.
6. If the map ends in a draw: Picker's Privilege - the team that picked the map will be awarded 1 point, and the match will proceed as normal. In the unlikely event that a draw happens on the Tiebreaker map, the map will be replayed.
7. If a player disconnects: they are treated as if they failed. Map aborting for a "false start" is up to the referee's discretion (and is guaranteed to take place if a disconnect occurs within the first 30 seconds of a map).
8. Warmups should preferably be 2-key osu!mania maps or 2-key osu!mania converts, but teams are free to use something else if their opponent agrees.
9. The usual osu! rules apply; therefore, macroing and the likes is strictly prohibited. If you want to be 100% safe, please just use two keys for input. If you want to try something unique out for yourself: don't hesitate to ask staff if your play method is allowed.
10. Please be kind to other players and of staff; referees have the ability to issue punishments to players or teams based on the severity of rudeness/disruptiveness.

If the registration form is filled out and the is not present in the server when the Registration Phase concludes they will automatically be withdrawn from the registrant list.
3. There are no restrictions for g up: any rank, any mode, any region is allowed. Please note that osu! tournament staff hold the right to screen you out of the tournament.
