A ranked map is a telltale indicator of a competitive map. This special state ensures that the map meets quality standards, is fair from a criteria standpoint, and may get you to try new things to broaden your skillset. This guide explains the steps required to rank a map on BeatLeader.
Modding is a term borrowed from the osu! ranking community. It is the process of review and feedback through a map editor (ChroMapper or MMA2) and/or in-game analysis
Every map needs to go through this process to make sure it meets the competitive standard set out in the ranking criteria.
Breaking any of these restrictions will be recorded and result in disciplinary action

The goal of review during the ranking process is to ensure that all maps that are ranked going forward meet quality standards determined by the Nomination Quality Team (NQT). This process occurs before any criteria checks on a map. Please make sure your map meets the following before submitting:

Submitting a review request to begin the ranking process on a map is as simple as navigating to the BeatLeader Discord and creating a new post under #review-hub. Website integration will be coming soon. The NQT will then go through maps submitted and vote on them, providing the mapper with a mod when they see potential.
After your map has recieved at least two (2) NQT votes and more upvotes than downvotes, it will be nominated and put into the ranking queue.
The goal of the ranking queue during the ranking process is to:
Following the review process, the Ranking Team (RT) will complete two criteria checks on all maps in the ranking queue. The mapper may again be provided with a mod with changes that may be required for rank.
Assuming all issues or concerns have been alliviated and both criteria checks are succesful, the map moves onto qualified.
A map that is qualified should be free of all issues, and serves as a place where the public can do a final check before rank.
Qualified maps may still be pulled from qualified if significant changes have been overlooked.
Congratulations! Through your hard effort, the map is now ranked.
