Ranking Criteria

Rules our Beatmap Nominators follow when ranking or loving a map — maintained collaboratively by the BN team.

Rules

  1. The map must be playable and still follow Bancho's Ranking Criteria. If not, it is likely to be loved.
  2. Longstream maps that are easy to abuse is more likely to be loved. (Because the majority of relax players can use the DT mod to get PP)
  3. Overlapped objects, 2B maps, Storyboard based maps (Maps that require the storyboard to be turned on to be played) will be loved.
  4. Near impossible maps (Galaxy Collapse, etc.) that players can pass will be ranked.
  5. A marathon map with a duration of more than 40 minutes (or those that hit the std score limit) will be loved. (Example: Songs Compilation by Nevo with 54 minutes)
  6. Abusive PP Maps (Maps that contain only 1-2 patterns, stacking longstream high bpm (relax)) are likely to be loved.

All maps are likely to be ranked unless there are features mentioned in the rules above.
