Pancake,
What website can I bookmark to keep me updated on the happenings of the tournament? There is a google site, yes? I suppose it's the bracket you'll be running later today. Just want to see where I should go to stay in the loop.
I think twitter would even be appropriate here. :)-
What kind of information would you like?
I may setup a word press blog if people would like to see results and embed the justin.tv videos from Loish but I don't have anything like that setup yet.
Brackets will hopefully be run once I have the rest of the names and I will be posting those.-
Yeah...anything in terms of knowing the short information. Even if it's just a site linking to your forum comments about details of the events. When the rounds are starting, who to send replays to :)
I sometimes miss your discussion thread :) I stalk you through searching your shack posts. Maybe I'm just bad at this... :D-
Once I get the brackets going there will be threads like last time but I think a central blog type setup will work best. I'll start working on that shortly.
Good idea sir ;)-
As much as I hated on twitter. It's a good way of being like "bunch of shit is done...look at this link" type stuff :D
Whatever is easiest for you I'm cool with. You're doing a lot :) You should have a team for this stuff ;) -
Oh please spoilertag the games there as well
-
-
-
I would like that, if it's not too much work. plus it'd be nice to have somewhere you can point people to for historical reasons.

I lost a ZvZ last night to only infestors :( Apparently 5 ultras can kill 100 infested marines but they can't kill 200 :(
-
We're you playing CellaWeRRa?
-
-
I won the initial bling/ling battles and went mutas while he went infestors. One fungal and infesteds killed my first 8 mutas. Then I started expanding and playing more defensively but he kept raiding bases with dozens of marines. I was too scared of fungal to harass with mutas.
-
-
Ling bling and spores.
-
-
-
Yes I'm at work but I can upload it after.
-
-
It's not high level were both trashy diamonds :)
-
-
-
-
-
-
I once levelled all 3 heroes to 10 and still got raped by a dude who spammed skeletons at me in War 3, he had the statues for mana (maybe 4 of them) and 15 necros and 5 meat wagons or something, it was basically unlimited skeletons and I was only mid skilled, I didn't know to dispell - it was hilarious :(
-
-
-
-
I ran the brackets anyways. I am going to have everyone SM each other to setup times so it will be important for when setting up your games.

Final rules and complete map settings will be posted a little bit later once I finish them up.-
What's the link to the shackers/bnet ids? I'd like to scope out my competition
-
-
D'oh my first opponent may not have even finished his placement matches yet. Can't find him on sc2ranks.com
-
-
Looks like the first diamond player I could face is dashnine. Though in 1 game matches it only takes one stupid mistake to cost you the game. Especially in same race matchups. I once accidently landed my vikings just north of a whole lot of siege tanks. ouch.
-
-
I don't know which names I should be looking out for. What is it? Bluckles and Chilln are the feared ones?
-

-
-
Oh yeah, now I see you
-
-
-
So, uh, yeah, I'm 1200 point diamond. Get to practicing! I could throw the match though, you never know
-
As if that means anything :p

I'm pretty sure Robotic is in EU, not US:

I think it's fairly evenly matched lol. We're team game players. This should be an absolute shit show.

If I did that I would have just banned you from signing up! They were randomized.
-
-
Cherry picking is not something I want to do at all. This format worked out fine in the last tournament.

I can change it if you want

-
Never. I settle all my battles in the world of Starcraft obviously.

RULES I'll make a dedicated post tonight when ER goes up
Tournament Signups CLOSED. 135 players signed up, 128 in the bracket. Reserve spots are available still.
Bracket link:
http://bit.ly/buzkgP
Players list:
http://bit.ly/9aHHec
Players are required to contact your opponent by this weekend via SM to setup a match time. The Round 1 games need to be played by Saturday 9/18 of next week. Results are due by 9AM EST on Sunday 9/19. I will have the final updated brackets done by Sunday night. If special circumstances arise, please contact me ASAP. Time between rounds will be decreasing with each round. You will have plenty of notice.
For the EU players, I will have a guest account you can use. SM me for details AFTER organizing your play time.
Round of 16 games will be streamed/casted by Chill (Blucklesworth) and possibly BigT myself, not 100% sure yet. Games will be streamed live if players contact me ahead of time to setup cast times. It is going to be a structured casting schedule this time around. There will be NO 'non-official' streams allowed this time. If there are streams being run of your games, you will be given an automatic loss and removed from the tournament. Same goes for non-tournament assigned observers. Last tournament this was not adhered to but I let it slide. Due to their being sponsors I cannot have this being done this time around. Do not expect your game to be casted, there are just too many players right now to cast all the games. If we have time we will cast replays of the earlier games during the downtime between rounds.
Prizes will be given to 1st, 2nd, 3rd places. I will have an official prize list up shortly (specific models).
Rules:
Single Elimination tournament.
Single race selection for all games of the series (this includes Random). If you need your race to be changed before the first round, contact me ASAP.
Best of 3 games until the semi finals which is best of 5.
Finals will be best of 7 games.
Maps:
All maps are allowed to be played on. After the first map of each round is played, losing player from game 1 picks next map. Losing player of game 2 picks final map. Later rounds will alternate depending on who wins/loses the previous map.
Round of 128 Starting map: Xel'Naga Caverns
Round of 64 starting map: Kulas Ravine
Round of 32 starting map: Blistering Sands
Round of 16 starting map: Scrap Station
Round of 8 starting map: Delta Quadrant
Round of 4 starting map: Metalopolis
Finals starting map: Steppes of War
Housekeeping Rules:
1) All games MUST be played on the US (North American) server.
2) You are expected to be reachable for a reasonable amount of time during each play period. If you cannot be reached for an extended period of time and do not show up to your games YOU WILL BE REPLACED OR FORFEIT YOUR MATCH.
4) Winning player must email all replays to myself(timps3 at gmail dot com). You can also host them if you would like. SM me the links.
Replay files should be named in this format:
"winner(race) vs loser(race) - map - game #"
**** Please follow this as it will make it a lot easier for me to upload results.
5) Players may NOT livestream their games as they are playing. No observers allowed in games other than admins of the tournament.
6) Chat is allowed in game. However, any excessive abuse and/or spam in game will be taken very seriously.
7) Disconnects are being handled on a case by case basis. If there is a disconnect within the first 5 minutes of a game, the game will be replayed. If a game is so one sided that it was obvious who was going to win, a judgment call will be made by the admins. Our decision is FINAL. In the event of a disconnect, players should contact the admins immediately.
8) All games are played regardless of patches.
9) Players under no circumstances are allowed to release results or replays to the public/Shacknews chatty until after VODS/results have been posted.
If you have any problems with these rules or the setup, let me know ahead of time.-
:D Magus, you bitch, what's your username so I can look you up?

I am a little confused. You say
*Single Elimination tournament.
Single race selection for all games of the series (this includes Random). If you need your race to be changed before the first round, contact me ASAP.
*Best of 3 games until the semi finals which is best of 5.
So do we play 3 games in round 1 or just 1?-
3 games, if you lose you are out
