EPTSign ups will probably stop this weekend so I can organise some brackets for the state team seeding tourneys.
If you wanna participate sign up this week, otherwise you may have to wait until after the preliminary tourneys!

"boo-hoo i cant cope with not doing exactly the same opening i always do in a specific matchup against someone who plays 3 times more matchups than i do". whatever happened to the good old days where random players were celebrated as more rugged and virile than the average gamer? they're taking it too seriously these days it ain't the korean league kids , just a bit of fun | ||

Mixed reports, but apparently u have to choose the 1 race OR Random at the start of the Tourney and can't change the whole way through. | ||

And on top of that he doesn't know which MU it is at the start. | ||

So that if they are Random they just have the one race to practice against, but 3 to practice with while the guy who chooses a race will have one to use but 3 to practice against (and then he has to practice keeping in mind he won't know what they will be). | ||

If you do it and I don't know about it when when doing the tournament worst vs best in state to determine seedings you will just be up against a top player and might get knocked out early so... It's just that they are allowed to not disclose it if they wish there is nothing at all wrong with it. Lying about it is not really on but I take this as just not wanting to submit it. | ||

The point is that they are not smurfing or trying to hide who they are so I don't see a problem with it, and if you want you can have an anonymous rank too but like with the other anonymous entries I will still have a rough idea of where they are in the state rankings so will pair them with appropriate players in the seeding tourament. Anyway TEAM NAMES! We have a few options, some are better than others but maybe people can thing of some good examples: 1. Based on pro-teams (e.g. SAWA Rolsters, VICTAS Entus) 2. Based on sporting teams (e.g. QLDNT Reds, SAWA United, VICTAS Victory) 3. Based on animals or other icons of the state (e.g. NSWACT Funnel Webs, SAWA Sharks) 4. Based on a nickname (e.g. A play on the state initials or something) 5. All of the above but just for the primary state OR one that covers both states 6. Community submitted ideas If you wanted to make a tag too that would be cool. If we are splitting VIC up (looks very likely) you can do two names for the VIC teams or if the distribution between Melb and the rest of VIC is reasonable then there are two diff team names there. | ||
