This cursor dance through the ~~fool moon~~ night sky is a simple homage to the osu! player's daily routine: clicking circles at mach speed atop a 100% dimmed background.

Let your eardrums experience the latest addition to our Featured Artist catalogue!

![](https://assets.ppy.sh/artists/435/header.jpg)

*Normal1zer*, *Broken Nerdz*, *The Doll Reaper*, *5-let*, *Noma Nadeshiko*, and... we'll stop listing there. This artist has more aliases than we can reasonably count, but most people know him as **Supa7onyz**: a Chinese producer who's emerging in both rhythm games and doujin communities!

A grand total of **13** tracks are part of [**Supa7onyz**'s Featured Artist listing](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists/435), all of which are both pre-timed and undeniably awesome.

While we're proud to bring **Supa7onyz** in as our newest Featured Artist, this isn't his first rodeo. osu! players who've spread their wings to other rhythm game players may know his role as sound engineer/director for *Paradigm:Reboot*, or one of his songs featured in games like *Phigros* and *Orzmic*, or even his involvement in osu! tournaments like *o!m LN3* or *MCNC7K 2023*.

Most recently though, just about everyone should know him for his newest [osu! original](/wiki/osu!_originals) revealed literally today in the ongoing [osu!mania 4K World Cup 2024](/wiki/Tournaments/MWC/2024_4K)! For the clueless folks out there, witness his new tune in this video (and check out the other song previews):

[**Supa7onyz**'s Featured Artist listing](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists/435) awaits your mouse clicks (two specifically: one to download a pretimed `.osz`, and another to open the file with osu!). Once in the editor, it'll only be about 50,000 clicks before you're done with a map!

Instead of a new Featured Artist next week, we'll be announcing an update to the catalogue for one of our older artists! That still means we'll be throwing a ton of cool music your direction, so stay tuned.

The longest-running annual beatmapping contest is back — now on the big stage!

![](/wiki/Contests/PDC/2024/img/banner.jpg)

The Pending Cup is originally a Chinese mapping contest, which had its first iteration in 2013 held by [NatsumeRin](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/151679). Through the past years, the Pending Cup has always been a means of encouraging creative mapping and finding new talent across the entire mapping community, and it will always be the core value of the contest.

Hosted by [Chaoslitz](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/3621552), [seros](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/10562853) and [Elayue](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/6400861), This year's edition will be expanding even further with a larger scale and prize pool. We strongly encourage and welcome you to participate in this event!

## ![Songs](/wiki/shared/news/2024-08-25-pending-cup-2024/songs.jpg)

This year we have received permission to use two non-FA songs as part of our songs list. This also means we are revisiting a previous Pending Cup format of having **3** different categories of tracks: **Vocal**, **Instrumental**, and **Featured Artist**.

### Vocal track

| Song | qfeileadh feat. Resonance Moeko - Ars Nova ni Kassai o |
| :-- | :-- |
| **Artist** | [![Twitter](/wiki/shared/link/Twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/qfeileadh "Twitter") [![SoundCloud](/wiki/shared/link/SoundCloud.png)](https://soundcloud.com/user-684510694 "SoundCloud") [![YouTube](/wiki/shared/link/YouTube.png)](https://www.youtube.com/@officialqfeileadh1081 "YouTube") |
| **Download** | [Beatmap template (2:47 / 185 BPM)](https://assets.ppy.sh/media/news/Pending%20Cup%202024%20-%20qfeileadh%20feat.%20Resonance%20Moeko%20-%20Ars%20Nova%20ni%20Kassai%20o.osz) |

<div align="center" class="osu-md__paragraph">
<iframe width="95%" style="aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XOZ99bWzZDw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

Immersed in art, guided by a dream, yet confined in suffering forever... This is our first song, *Ars Nova ni Kassai o* by qfeileadh feat. Resonance Moeko. This song was ranked 7th place in [BOFXVII](https://bmsoffighters.net/bofxvii/) and has since then received considerable attention among the general rhythm game community. Yet veiled beneath its heavenly vocal and classical grandeur is a challenge posed to the contestants: the time signature is a **little** bit irregular.

### Instrumental track

| Song | ASA – Assault TAXI |
| :-- | :-- |
| **Artist** | [![Twitter](/wiki/shared/link/Twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/cupchi_n0 "Twitter") [![SoundCloud](/wiki/shared/link/SoundCloud.png)](https://soundcloud.com/bokuasa "SoundCloud") [![YouTube](/wiki/shared/link/YouTube.png)](https://www.youtube.com/@user-je2mh5mh1n "YouTube") |
| **Download** | [Beatmap template (2:30 / 154 BPM)](https://assets.ppy.sh/media/news/Pending%20Cup%202024%20-%20ASA%20-%20Assault%20TAXI.osz) |

<div align="center" class="osu-md__paragraph">
<iframe width="95%" style="aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FM8sY3LIdu0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

Hey, TAXI! Our second song *Assault TAXI* by ASA will give you a jazzy feeling, but in a drifting taxi rather than a midnight jazz pub. Again, this song was once ranked 15th place in [BOF:NT](https://www.bmsoffighters.net/bofnt/index.html) and is catered to traditional rhythm game enjoyers. It may even evoke feelings of nostalgia from a past iteration... Please show off your speed now! We are looking forward to being impressed by our prospective taxi drivers.

### Featured Artist track

| Song | Rabbit House – Seculo Seculorum |
| :-- | :-- |
| **Artist** | [![FA](/wiki/shared/link/FA.png)](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists/242 "Featured Artist listing") [![Twitter](/wiki/shared/link/Twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/ri_neb "Twitter") [![SoundCloud](/wiki/shared/link/SoundCloud.png)](https://soundcloud.com/dksslqj "SoundCloud") [![YouTube](/wiki/shared/link/YouTube.png)](https://www.youtube.com/@Rabbit_House "YouTube") |
| **Download** | [Beatmap template (2:22 / 210 BPM)](https://assets.ppy.sh/media/news/Pending%20Cup%202024%20-%20Rabbit%20House%20-%20Seculo%20Seculorum.osz) |

<div align="center" class="osu-md__paragraph">
<iframe width="95%" style="aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yfmh_ROMXa8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

Now introducing our last song: *Seculo Seculorum* by a familiar name to most mappers, Rabbit House! Wait, you said you've never heard of this name before? They're [Nakagawa-Kanon](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/87065) or [dksslqj](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/87065) on osu!, and also one of our Featured Artists. Now, imagine that you are flowing through the whirl of time, alongside this piece of renaissance hardcore, steadily yet progressing... Can you keep pace with the momentum?

## ![Rules](/wiki/shared/news/2024-08-25-pending-cup-2024/rules.jpg)

### Format

- **This is an osu! mode mapping contest.**

### Mapping

- **Submission must include ONE DIFFICULTY ONLY.**
- **Submission must use one of the provided songs.** You are only allowed to submit **ONE ENTRY** for one of the songs.
- **Collaborations are not allowed.** Submission must be a solo entry.
- **Submission must be in `.osz` format.**
- **Submission must use standard difficulty names:** Easy, Normal, Hard, Insane, and Expert.
- **You must not include a video or storyboard in your submission.**
- **You must not modify the background and metadata of your submission.** Metadata includes the title, artist, beatmap creator, source and tags.
- **You are allowed to modify timing (including red lines) based on your needs.** This action is at your own risk.
- **You are allowed to modify combo colours, bookmarks, and the preview time.**
- **Submission must not be publicly revealed until after the results are announced.**
- **The [ranking criteria](/wiki/Ranking_criteria) must be respected except in cases where they cannot be applied, such as beatmap spread.** While mistakes are tolerated, submissions containing major unrankable issues may result in a deduction of points.

### Submission

- Once you are finished, [head over to the contest listing to submit your map](https://osu.ppy.sh/community/contests/218). You are allowed to resubmit your entry anytime before the mapping phase has ended.

### Judging criteria

| Category | Details |
| :-: | :-- |
| Expertise (40%) | Expertise refers to how well the map executes itself to reflect the elements in the music. This reflects the technical skill of a mapper. However, in the Pending Cup, judging is not modding. Although we promote maps with expertise and professionalism and care about details, judges are discouraged from being nitpicky on small mistakes or minor unrankables, and will instead score in this category while considering an overarching picture of the map. |
| Creativity (40%) | Creativity refers to how reasonably outstanding the map is compared to the current mapping meta. A generic map in the current mapping meta or copy-pasting concepts from other "famous" maps is discouraged. The Pending Cup promotes creativity, so the winners of PDC should guide the mapping meta instead of following it. |
| Judge's Impression (20%) | Judges can use this for extra scores or penalties for their specific comments or remarks on something in the entry. The base Judge's Impression score is set to 10, and judges must explicitly mention why they apply any additions or deductions to that score. |

*Judges are instructed to be consistent in their judging style across each track when judging.*
