| If you're dedicated to the art of designing digital drums and/or fruit, this month's contest was created just for you. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| For anyone out of the loop, the [Monthly Beatmapping Contest](/wiki/Contests/Monthly_Beatmapping_Contest) (*MBC*) has been an osu! tradition for over a decade at this point. The premise is (unsurprisingly) a beatmapping contest held every month. | ||
|
|
||
| This month's iteration is for **osu!taiko** and **osu!catch** mappers: | ||

|
|
||
| And special thanks to [Nelly](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/4741164) for coordinating the Monthly Beatmapping Contest for osu!catch throughout the last year! Starting with this month's contest, [Morusya](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/13681464) is stepping up to the plate in his stead. | ||
|
|
||

|
|
||
| ### Limitation | ||
|
|
||
| We keep things fresh around here with *limitations*, a.k.a. special rules that make each month's contest unique. | ||
|
|
||
| If you're confused about how these work, ask for clarification in the comments, or send a message to [Hivie](https://osu.ppy.sh/community/chat?sendto=14102976) (for osu!taiko) or [Morusya](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/13681464) (for osu!catch). | ||
|
|
||
| #### osu!taiko | ||
|
|
||
| Following in the footsteps of [the latest osu! and osu!mania MBC](https://osu.ppy.sh/home/news/2024-10-02-monthly-beatmapping-contest-october-2024), osu!taiko's limitation this month is extremely straightforward: | ||
|
|
||
| **Find one other mapper and make a map together!** | ||
|
|
||
| ...plus these minor rules as a safety net: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Both mappers should contribute equally to the map.** | ||
| - **The drain time must be at least of 2 minutes, not accounting for break times.** | ||
| - **Include each mapper's username in the beatmap's tags.** | ||
|
|
||
| This is the least restrictive limitation to date, so enjoy the freedom ~~while you can~~! | ||
|
|
||
| #### osu!catch | ||
|
|
||
| Movement is one of the most vital parts of osu!catch map composition. That's why this month's restriction completely changes how movement works. | ||
|
|
||
| **All hyperdashes must be followed by a standstill.** | ||
|
|
||
| For extra clarity, this means the two notes after a hyperdash must have the same `x` coordinate. (And if you make a map without hyperdashes, don't expect to receive high scores from judges!) | ||
|
|
||
| ### Songs | ||
|
|
||
| Any song listed on [osu!'s Featured Artist listing](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists) is eligible for this contest. Cutting songs is allowed too! | ||
|
|
||
| ## Rewards | ||
|
|
||
| The Monthly Beatmapping Contest rewards users with [contest points](/wiki/Contests/Contest_points) based on their placements: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Winner:** 2 points | ||
| - **Runner-up:** 1 point | ||
| - **Screening crew's #1 pick:** 1 point | ||
|
|
||
| These numbers may be higher depending on how many submissions the contest receives. Check [the wiki article](/wiki/Contests/Contest_points) for details. | ||
|
|
||
| Contest points reward users at certain thresholds: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Profile badges** are attainable at 2, 4, and 6 points each. The badges are tiered, meaning each new badge will replace the previous one! | ||
| - ***Elite Mapper* [user title](/wiki/Community/User_title)** is attainable at 6 points. | ||
|
|
||
| Additionally, a [**Mappers' Guild keychain**](/wiki/shared/news/2023-08-29-changes-to-the-mappers-guild/keychain.jpg) is optionally rewarded to the winner of each month's contest. Its design is based on your beatmap! | ||
|
|
||
| ## Rules | ||
|
|
||
| - **Submissions must follow the month's beatmapping [limitation](#limitation):** | ||
| - **osu!taiko:** find one other mapper and make a map together | ||
| - **osu!catch:** all hyperdashes must be followed by a standstill | ||
| - **Submissions must be a single difficulty from one of the month's [selected songs](#songs).** | ||
| - **Submissions must be in `.osz` format.** | ||
| - **Submissions must NOT be uploaded to the osu! website until after the contest's results are finalised.** | ||
| - **Submissions must abide by the [ranking criteria](/wiki/Ranking_criteria).** | ||
| - **osu!catch submissions must be solely made by you.** Collaborations are only allowed for osu!taiko maps this month! | ||
|
|
||
| Note that all submissions will be anonymised before they're reviewed by screeners/judges to avoid bias. | ||
|
