Hey, there's a guy who's interested in joining our csl team. He goes to OSU, but goes to a regional campus elsewhere in the state instead of the main campus. Is he allowed to join? so is that like Penn State or Cal States? If so... I don't think that really qualifies because the campuses really aren't related in anything other than name. I don't know if it's like penn or cal at all, but I guess the campus is pretty independant from main campus, though all the funding is the same. Mostly it means if he doesn't join the OSU team, he's out of csl entirely because OSU Mansfield campus certainly isn't big enough to host a seperate team. It's not like he's an ex-progamer we're trying to slip in either, he's in the coach-pupil league (as a pupil). It's basically IS OSU, just an expansion of the school. You wouldn't say your expansion in another main of the map is a different player than you in a sc game, it's the same thing, especially if you started making new gates and new tech there! Actually it doesn't sound impossible. We really have to assess the situation though. Typically, we'd want the team to be as close geographically as possible. Can you explain the reason why he's on a different campus? Like, why does OSU have separate campuses? And how separated is OSU in terms of the campuses? If the OSU sports teams don't draw from all of the different campuses, then I'd lean toward no. If OSU has one big team, however, I'd lean toward allowing that person on the team.
The regional campuses aren't that independant from the main campus. The regionals mostly have fairly common courses that students need, basic and general prerequisites, though I believe you can graduate without ever going to main campus. They're mostly designed for students who can't afford to go to main campus to easily transfer later to main campus, which is what most students who go to regionals do or plan to do. I'm pretty positive the regional campuses don't have their own sports teams, but don't know for sure cuz I'm not interested in their sports in the least bit.

Regional campuses at The Ohio State University not only do not have their own sports teams, but students who attend these campuses are permitted to walk-on to the main campus teams.
All of the regional campuses are within about an hour and a half drive of the Columbus campus, and only a few agriculture degrees can be attained without attending main campus.

yes

If it's not too much trouble, can you update the opening post with a list of registered teams?

imo different divisions but still stay in the same time zones sounds fun so people can play different teams from last sesaon.
btw anyone from UC Riverside can PM me or PH for info about our team.

imo divisions decided when we have all the schools registered, and then we'll do figure it out - 80% chance of different divisions. 1 school off = lots of schools shifted as a result. ^^.

That depends on exactly what CSU is. I presume this is California State University? What is your school like? ie. how often do the different campuses interact with each other / how closely are they related. Applying as a freshman, is it to a specific campus? Is the application for CSU one application, and then you pick which school you want to apply for? Or do you apply for each one separately? How much do the different campuses distinguish from each other? How are they geographically? How likely is it that you would meet someone from another campus and become good friends with them? With 23 campuses, I'd imagine that you guys aren't that closely related, and so, not really eligible to be a joint team, but answer the questions and we'll see. The only thing that links the campuses is the fact that they're CSUs. When you apply you apply to each individual campus. The schools in SoCal are obviously closer knit because of their location than the campuses farther north, other than that they're mostly independent, as far as I can tell. The campuses are spread throughout California (map: http://www2.assist.org/images/csu_map.gif ). I know lots of people from the campuses closest to me, but the same goes for the UCs closest to me. I guess we don't meet the requirements though. Sad, I was hoping to get a chance to participate =[
Honestly, I don't think this is possible. 23 schools is a whole lot, and to draw from a pool of "almost 450,000 students" would be incredibly unfair. Long Beach itself has 30k undergrads (Collegeboard), and that is 5-7x the normal population of most colleges (just rough estimation, not including grad). Based on this, you shouldn't really be having trouble pulling together a team - you just need to find the people who play Starcraft. 30k people, there's gotta be at least 4 people who play SC.
I imagine other CSU schools are in similar situations (although a little less), but I think if we allowed you guys to combine, then it wold simply be too unfair.

Edit: Answered.

i wonder what the tournament format will be this season. east vs west again?

I'm glad that CSU has had their situation considered by an administrator, but I'm afraid the posts about OSU's regional campus may have been overlooked. Has any member of the staff had a chance to look over our case yet? I figure our situation is a lot different than CSU's because almost all the students at the regional campuses plan on moving to main campus after a year or two.

Just registered University of Central Florida [UCF]
If ANY UCF players are unaware that we were putting together a CSL team and want to join please contact me IMMEDIATELY so I can add you to the roster.

That wouldn't be as practical for time zones... unless we split like. 4 north divisions (1 for each time zone) and 4 south divisions (same). Or something like that. Dunno yet.

Can we pool together nearby Universities? I go to the University of Denver which is a fairly small private school. Anyone from the University of Colorado/ at Boulder play sc? Or KU/K-state?
I wanna be a collegiate e-athlete!

Anyone go to USP? lolol I know the answer is like 99.9% no!

Hey I made a post about this ><. The reason why I don't immediately respond is that I think it's better that all of the administrators talk to each other first to come up with a unanimous decision before saying it in the thread, so that we're not all contradicting each other. We usually agree, but it's a just-in-case thing on my part. Most of what I've said so far is just my personal opinion, but I usually try to research the matter first.
Regarding OSU, I can give you my opinion: It's much more likely for you guys to have players from other campuses than CSU, simply because OSU only draws from 5 or so campuses, and the populations of those campuses isn't as large as CSU's campuses. I'd lean toward yes for this but I think I need some more information first.
I've told hazelynut though, so she should be looking into the thread soon. We just all have finals this week that's why ^_^. Just be patient, player registration will still be open for 3-4 weeks more I think. It's the team registration that matters at the moment.
In the meantime, feel free to answer the questions I asked the CSU people:

No, you aren't allowed to this season. The only scenario for this is if your school is an extension of the school you want to join, and even those cases will be considered carefully and closely.
