This period serves as a last line of defence in which any flaws and mistakes that might have slipped through can be fixed.

 ### Unranked beatmaps statistics
 
 After [7 August 2020](https://osu.ppy.sh/home/changelog/stable40/20200807.3), beatmaps from [Graveyard](#graveyard), as well as [Work in Progress and Pending](#wip-and-pending), started contributing to users' play count and total score. They also received play statistics on their individual pages (play count, success rate, and points of failure), which was only shown before for beatmaps from [Qualified](#qualified) and [Ranked](#ranked).

+[^noms-needed]: For beatmaps with only one primary [game mode](/wiki/Game_mode) among all [difficulties](/wiki/Beatmap#difficulty), two nominations for the primary game mode are needed. For hybrid sets (beatmaps with difficulties across multiple game modes), two nominations for the main game mode and one for each subsidiary one are required.

 # Beatmap ranking queue
 
-The **ranking queue** manages moving [beatmaps](/wiki/Beatmap) from [Qualified](/wiki/Beatmap/Category#qualified) to [Ranked](/wiki/Beatmap/Category#ranked). Every day, 16 beatmaps from each [game mode](/wiki/Game_mode) are able to move from Qualified to Ranked, as long as they have been in Qualified for at least 7 days. The time of day that beatmaps get ranked is random.

-## Disqualification and re-qualification
+A timer counts how many days a beatmap should stay in Qualified before it can be ranked. When the timer of a beatmap reaches zero, it is eligible to be ranked on that day. The time of day that beatmaps get ranked is random.
 
-When a beatmap is [disqualified](/wiki/Beatmap_ranking_procedure#nomination-resets), its time spent in Qualified so far is saved. If it gets re-qualified, it will enter the queue as if it had been in the queue for that duration already. This ability to "skip" time spent in the queue caps at 6 days to ensure that beatmaps always stay in Qualified for at least a full day.
+7 days is the default waiting time that is set when the beatmap enters Qualified. But beatmaps may be [disqualified](/wiki/Beatmap_ranking_procedure#nomination-resets) if issues are found during their time in Qualified, which will change the timer.

+Additionally, for every week a beatmap stays disqualified, the timer will increase by 1 day, up to a maximum of 14 days.

+If a beatmap is re-qualified with either new difficulties added or if the two nominators processing the new qualification do not include any of the two original nominators, the ranked timer will be reset to 7 days instead of the saved time.

 ## Qualification
 
-Beatmaps that receive two nominations for the main game mode[^main-game-mode] are moved to the [Qualified](/wiki/Beatmap/Category#qualified) beatmap category[^hybrid-sets]. Qualified beatmaps have score leaderboards, but do not reward players with [performance points](/wiki/Performance_points). When a beatmap stays in Qualified for at least 7 days without any open [Problems or Suggestions](/wiki/Modding#types-of-mod-posts), the [ranking queue](Ranking_queue) is able to move it to [Ranked](#ranked).
+Qualification is a process where beatmaps that receive enough nominations are moved to the [Qualified](/wiki/Beatmap/Category#qualified) beatmap category. Beatmaps with only one primary [game mode](/wiki/Game_mode) among all [difficulties](/wiki/Beatmap#difficulty) need two nominations for the primary game mode, while hybrid sets[^hybrid-sets] need two nominations for the main game mode[^main-game-mode] and one for each subsidiary one.

They can also be reset by members of the [Global Moderation Team](/wiki/People/Global_Moderation_Team) when the reason involves inappropriate content. If a beatmap is qualified when its nominations are reset, it will be disqualified and removed from the ranking queue.

It allows seeking further discussion or clarification over any kind of quality issues which they feel need to be addressed before the map can proceed with [Qualification](#qualification).

-Beatmaps that have passed through the qualification stage have completed the ranking procedure. They have [score leaderboards](/wiki/Ranking) and reward players with performance points.
+When a beatmap stays in Qualified for at least 7 days without any open [Problems or Suggestions](/wiki/Modding#types-of-mod-posts), the [ranking queue](Ranking_queue) is able to move it to [Ranked](/wiki/Beatmap/Category#ranked). If it has been through disqualification and re-qualification, the time for it to move from Qualified to Ranked should be [recalculated](Ranking_queue#dq-and-re-qualification). Ranked beatmaps have [score leaderboards](/wiki/Ranking) and reward players with performance points.
 
 Ranked beatmaps are only unranked under exceptional circumstances when issues are found shortly after they reach Ranked status.
 
 ## Notes
 
 [^main-game-mode]: A beatmap's game mode is considered its "main" if it contains the most difficulties. In the event the amount of difficulties is the same between 2+ modes, the main game mode will be the one with the most difficulties mapped by the beatmap's host. If neither of those conditions are met, then the main game mode will be the one which gets nominated first.
-[^hybrid-sets]: For beatmaps with difficulties across multiple game modes, two nominations are needed for the main game mode and one is required for each subsidiary one.
+[^hybrid-sets]: Hybrid sets are beatmaps with difficulties across multiple game modes.
