I think 25.09. is on pretty short notice.
I can help most weekends, but 02.10. is a rare exception where I can't. If you don't choose the weekend of 02.10. (for whatever reason) I will be glad to help you out.
As credentials, I've organized and administrated several smaller and bigger tournaments for GosuGamers a couple of years ago.

Thank you for the offer. Unfortunately the tournament will most likely go through 02.10. But with some luck this can become somewhat of a regular occurrence and in that case you are most welcome to help if you wish to do so!

Do we have a final verdict on the map selection?

Yes.

The winners of the polls were:

- Avalon
+ Show Spoiler +

- Overwatch (foreigner)
+ Show Spoiler +

2 "standard" maps:

- outsider (as suggested by idelgechik and others)
+ Show Spoiler +

- colosseum
+ Show Spoiler +

2 mystery maps:

- Hearbeat
+ Show Spoiler +

- Silvery waves
+ Show Spoiler +

This gives a nice variety of 2-, 3- and 4-player maps.

The map order in Bests of is currently:

avalon -> overwatch -> silvery waves -> Heartbeat -> outsider -> colosseum

I hope players will enjoy playing on these maps. And I hope the viewers will enjoy seeing this "weird" map pool in action.

Finally, I urge everyone to voice their concerns in case the map pool or order is blatantly in favor of a specific race to allow me to make changes if deemed necessary.

So is it just like first 32 ppl to join or highest ranked 32? I'd gladly join if there weren't enough slots, but don't want to take a spot from someone actually good

Maybe only set the starting map for each round. and in a best of simply have the loser choose the next map (from the map pool of course) with no map being allowed to be played twice

Good suggestion.

I had intended on one more rule but forgot to add it. Each round starts with the corresponding map in the sequence f.e.

avalon => round 1
overwatch => round 2
silvery waves => round 3
...

And then in bests of they have to follow the set sequence of maps. I'm a bit afraid that in case we let people decide the maps in series we might not even see particular maps unless we get lucky with a long series.

Make it unlimitied! (rank,number of players), there is no point to limit the players and as we have more its always better. Why we need to make limits while BW scene is so small anyway

Once everything with setting up is done i recommend to either re edit OP and make it clear or just make new topic in tournaments, cause its starts to be a bit unclearly

with more players (more rounds) the amount of time spent in the tournament for the top players + administrators rises

In an ideal world I would indeed make a D-A tournament with an unlimited amount of players but:

- it's double elimination

- and with 32 players

For 32 players this means 6 rounds of (2*Bo1, 2*Bo3, 1*Bo5, 1*Bo7), which might already take 3-4 hours.

For now I'll keep it at 32 players, but depending on the size of the waiting list I could try to change the size limit if that's still possible then.

And I'm in the process of making the official announcement post and registration.

Official announcement here:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/bw-tournaments/514148-c-a-foreigner-tournament-crispy-cup#1

Can anyone help me with making a thread on reddit? When I try to make a link thread I can only choose between the banner or a link to the teamliquid thread. However, I see plenty of threads on the front page that have an image and link directly to a different website or thread.

edit: We have currently 4 admins myself included. If anyone else is still interested and is free on sunday 02.10 starting from 17.00 CEST, please contact me.

If anyone is interested in making a liquipedia page or helping me make one afterwards please contact me as well.

Tournament looks neat, love the banner haha

I'm glad Overwatch got included as a map.
Avalon has cool features, I just wish someone would remake it without snow tileset for the eyes :p

Outsider as standard map.. is kind of a joke, unless Draw/Dragon play I predict 0 PvZ wins on it (from equal level opponents of course)

Colo and Heartbeat are good choices.

Silvery Waves looks very cool, but not being part of ICCup Mappack may make practicing it difficult.
