We are currently looking for volunteers whom are interested in becoming a part of the osu! volunteer staff team as a member of the Mapping Assistance Team (MAT).

The MAT are the first line of quality control when it comes to deciding which maps enter the second part of the ranking process, having the ability to "bubble" maps-- essentially marking them for ranking by a member of the BAT or an . The MAT form a large part of the active staff team and form a diverse and integral part of the staff's internal discussions. This means that anybody willing to become a part of the MAT must have a keen and vested interest in discussing mapping techniques and be well acquainted with the ranking criteria.

Some things you should know before applying for MAT:

1. You should have experience in modding, mapping and playing beatmaps. Being able to do all three shows your abilities of understanding a beatmap and how it works, and how you can help it improve!
2. As a modder you should be able to point out unrankable issues within a beatmap and help the mapper resolve them in an effective manner. This also means enforcing the ranking criteria and encouraging everyone to follow it!
3. Being active! Being an active modder shows your dedication to your position and the community!
4. And of course, being friendly and respectful to everyone in the community and the staff.

If you are interested in becoming a part of the MAT, please fill out the following application MMzz with the subject line: MAT Application Verification


If you submitted an application last round, submit a new application. We want updated information.

APPLICATIONS CURRENTLY CLOSED.

Good luck everyone!

Well that's right...

better if people keep their optimism to themselves or not overuse it .

inb4 locked.

Let's just wish the best luck for who is trying to be a staff member instead of complaining about everything.
Whatever, at least the ones that are "omg I hope I will be accepted >.<" aren't causing any flame.

Being optimistic and being like "hey guys look at me, I'm trying to be a MAT, now tell me I'm a great modder and I will do it" are completely different things and it only happens with some people - not generalizing at all.

But then again, some people like considering anything from me is flaming, so bye and have fun with your assumptions.

Sorry but I just read the whole thread and couldn't find anything. What are you talking about?
Let people be happy! Take off the hate from your heart, dude
Let's stop spamming this thread now.

Anyways, good luck for everyone! I think this is better than "choosing people" because now, who are interested have one more chance to prove their potential.

Applications are great because it gives people who really want to get on the team a chance to.
Looking forward to the applications!

Perfect !! xD

That's not the good place for that and Bancho was down for a moment. It's back up now.

I highly recommend not doing a "mod-one-difficulty-as-fast-as-you-can-on-as-many-maps-as-you-can" experiment right before your app gets looked at.

...Not that I'm speaking from experience. >o>

I wish my application would be accepted <3

hope it's work

All applications are accepted and personally read by me and staff.
So you all should know your applications are being read!

On a side note we're already gotten a ton of great applications, this round should be one of the best in awhile.
Thank you all for taking the time and showing interest in the MAT. Keep them applications coming!

Gonna give this a try :3
