About Registration

All contestants must form a team of 3 to 4 players. Each team will consist of 1 team captain and 2 to 3 team members. We also encourage staff members to participate in the contest.

This competition theoretically accepts 16 teams to register. If the actual number of registrations is much higher or lower than 16 teams, the organizer will adjust the competition arrangement according to the situation.

Please participate honestly and use your main account to register. If the staff team finds that a player use multiple accounts to register, the player's team will be immediately disqualified from the competition.

Registration Restriction

Using Malody V3 Dan courses as a reference, all contestants must pass Malody Ex4 V3 or higher Dans to register.

The sum of Ex Dan ranks of a 3-member team can be up to 24; the sum of Ex Dan ranks of a 4-member team can be up to 30.

For example: Ex4 Dan is recorded as 4, Ex5 Dan is recorded as 5, and so on. If a player passes ExFinal, ExFinal is recorded as 11.

In order to facilitate the contest organizers to carry out statistics and dynamic adjustment of the game mappool, all players are requested to truthfully fill in the highest Malody V3 Dan they have passed upon registering.

Seed Team Qualification

All registered teams must participate in the seed team qualification competition. The seed team qualification mappool contains 6 maps, which will be released in Malody store on June 15. Each team captain needs to submit all screenshot scores of any two contestants on the team to the event organizers before June 30.

The seed team is the team with higher overall strength among the teams that registered for this competition. The top eight teams will be divided into eight different competition areas to avoid early encounters.

The seed score calculation of a single map will comprehensively weigh the contestants’ combo skills and accuracy skills. Score and accuracy are each weighted 50%. The following seed score calculation formula is only applicable to the seed team qualification competition. The official competition only compares the total acc between teams.

Calculation formula for individual points: [(total score of 6 charts/full score of 6 charts) + (sum of acc of 6 charts/600)]*100

About MP (Multiplayer)

① The list of judges and match groupings of each round will be announced at the same time. If participants encounter any problems during the competition, please communicate with the judge in charge of your own round.

② For each round of match, the judge will create a private match room in Malody 10 minutes prior the match. The room password will be sent to QQ and Discord channels for all contestants. The room name will be set as: (xx) vs (xx),xx will be the team names. All contestants from both teams must warm up before the match and enter the assigned match room.

③ When the contest begins, each team must roll points (send "$roll" in the chat room), the winner of the $roll starts picking the first map of the match.

Original Songs

We have invited several well-known song composers to create original songs for this year’s contest. When an original song appears in the mappool, both teams must play the original song first before they can roll points to select other maps.

About Pick Mechanism and Extra Point Mechanism

MillionMaster Cup 2023 will prohibit banning mappools. Instead, both teams may have a certain number of Picks and Extra Points in each round. The Pick and Extra Point Mechanisms are designed to create a more exciting competitive environment, preventing one team from dominating an entire match. You may only choose the Pick Mechanism or the Extra Point Mechanism for each map. However, you cannot use the Pick Mechanism or the Extra Point mechanism for the TieBreaker map. The staff team will calculate and announce the number of Picks and Extra Points of all participating teams before the match.

The use of the Pick Mechanism

Both teams will have the chance to force-pick individual players from the opposing team to play specific maps.

Each player may only be force-picked up to 1 time per round.

If the opposing team is a 3-member team, you may force-pick the opposing team 3 times. If the opposing team is a 4-member team, you may force-pick the opposing team 4 times.

The use of the Extra Point Mechanism

If the opposing team has Extra Points, aside from the Pick Mechanism mentioned in the previous section, your team may have additional opportunities to ban or force-pick any player from the opposing team to play specific maps.

In each round, your team may use Extra Points to ban / force-pick the same player from the opposing team, but it is not allowed to use Extra Points on the same player for two consecutive maps.

See the detailed description in the next paragraph for the opposing team's Extra Points calculation method.

Extra Point Calculation Method

All contestants who meet the following descriptions will accumulate Extra Points for their teams. Each contestant can accumulate at most 2 Extra Points.

① The presence of a player who has passed Malody V3 Ex-Final Dan will accumulate 1 Extra Point for their team;

② The presence of a player who has passed LN15 or higher LN Dans on any platform will accumulate 1 Extra Point for their team;

③ The presence of a Malody 4K T0 ranker will accumulate 1 Extra Point for their team (based on the 2023 first quarter ranker list);

④ The presence of a Malody 4K T??? ranker will accumulate 2 Extra Points for their team (based on the 2023 first quarter ranker list);

All teams that meet the following descriptions will accumulate Extra Points.

1. Teams with the sum of Ex Dans reaching the upper Dan limit will accumulate 1 Extra Point;

2. Teams with 3 or more Ex7+ players will accumulate 1 Extra Point;

3. Throughout the contest, if any contestant achieved higher Ex Dans that caused their team to go over the Dan limit, their team will accumulate 1 Extra Point for each Dan that exceeds the limit;

The staff team will carefully review the overall skills of each contestant. For those players with comprehensive competitive skills, the staff team might add Extra Points to the player's team or adjust the player's Ex Dan as appropriate.

After the above calculation, if the opposing team has Extra Points greater than or equal to 4, your team will be given an additional opportunity to force-pick any 2 players to play one map. If any team has Extra Points greater than 6, the team needs to regroup.

Contest Special Notes

① After each round of match, all players must export the replay files and send them to the judge after all matches. If any contestant forgets to export their replay files during the match, please play all maps once again after the match and then send your replay files to the judge. Regardless of acc in replay files, match results will still be recorded according to the actual acc during contest.

② If one player falls offline, PC players experience pop-up adds etc, the selected map may be retried once again. For each match, each team will have 1 chance to retry a map if an accident occurs. If any team experience a second accident, they will lose the selected map.

③ If one side does not arrive at the start of match, the match may be delayed 10 minutes. If a shortage of players occur during the match, the match may be delayed 5 minutes. If the delayed time exceeds the above mentioned extension, the delayed team will loose the entire match.

④ The contest will strictly require all players to use C judge. If one side used judges other than C judge, they will loose the current map. If both sides used judges other than C judge, the current match will count as invalid score. If a team used judges other than C judge more than once, they will be disqualified for the contest.

⑤ If the case when two teams have the same total acc, the current match will count as invalid score.

⑥ If any team member experience internet score upload issues after the match, they must take a photo or screenshot their score panel within 2 minutes and contact the judge. (Please don’t forget to export replay file) Scores sent to the judge within 2 minutes will be valid.

⑦ In all the situations mentioned above, if an invalid score appears, both teams will not receive points for their selected map. At the same time, the selected map may not be picked again.

⑧ When no teams choose to force-pick players, all teams may switch players to play each map.

About Absence and Hidden Maps

① MillionMaster Cup 2023 requires all contestants from both teams to be online for each round of the match. If any player experiences an unexpected event in life that will prohibit them from attending the match, they must notify the judge at least 1 hour before the contest.

② If only 3 members of a 4-member team are present and the sum of their Ex Dans exceeds 24, the team will accumulate 1 Extra Point for each Dan that exceeds the limit. If the additional accumulated Extra Points plus the team's original Extra Points are greater than 6, the team will automatically lose the match. Among the 3 present players, at most 1 player can contribute Extra Points to their team, otherwise the team will automatically lose the match. When the match begins, competitors who were initially absent are not allowed to join.

③ If a team has less than 2 contestants present and that they have yet to arrive 10 minutes after the delayed time, the team will automatically lose the match.

④ When only 2 players are present, if their sum of Ex Dan is greater than 16 or any player contributed Extra Points to their team, the team will automatically lose the match. If the 2-member team fits the qualifications mentioned above, they must attend all the matches during that day. When the match begins, competitors who were initially absent are not allowed to join the match, and all teams may no longer use the Pick and Extra Point Mechanism. Instead, the two teams may ban 1 map each from the original mappool. At the same time, 2 hidden maps will be added to the mappool.

⑤ Hidden maps will only be used when only 2 players are present on either team. The 2 hidden maps in each round of mappool can be any pattern, with the average difficulty not exceeding the TieBreaker map. Hidden maps may not be banned, and all teams must play the 2 hidden maps before they can pick other maps. The judge will release all hidden maps after the contest begins. All players will not be able to practice the hidden maps before the match.

⑥ MillionMaster Cup organizers hope all registered players can actively participate in all matches. If not for unexpected situations, please be present. Even if all hidden maps are not used during the contest, the mappool selectors will release them after the Grand Final.
