Past pools come from the public export of otdb, by Sheppsu, used with his permission, or from tournament hosts and community members, whom Disclaimers says more about. A pool page names its sources.

Beatmap files

#

pools never hosts beatmap files. The all-maps search and a pool's star ratings, AR, OD, BPM and length come from the hinai mirror (mirror.hinamizawa.ai), which Disclaimers says more about. To report a beatmap itself, write to the mirror or to ppy Pty Ltd, not us.
