I apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the tournament, but I'd rather have a well-planned, well set-up tournament with a positive message than one having to be redone at the last minute for reasons that make a lot of people go in heated. I still intend to sponsor a tournament, but just as circumstances made my choice of map pool suddenly relevant, circumstances have conspired to add a negative political element to a tournament intended to have a positive one. I look forward to sponsoring the tournament anew once things are properly settled. | ||

Do the tourney... pm the ppl who were supposed to play... host in on west/fish/whatever. No issue. If your gonna sponsor a tourney you should actually go through with the tourney rather then pull out for a very vague unclear reason. | ||

If your gonna sponsor a tourney you should actually go through with the tourney rather then pull out for a very vague unclear reason. My reasons are as follows 1. There are technical hurdles that need to be jumped, according to Game (who I assume knows better than I). These aren't prohibitive, but we needed more than an afternoon to do it. Running the tournament on a new server undelayed with such short notice wasn't a feasible option, and there wasn't much I could do to change that even if I wanted to. 24 hours before the tournament was supposed to start, no one knew for sure what server it'd be on. 2. This means I had to make the decision quickly. While postposting a tournament last-second sucks and makes people angry, postponing it during the Ro32 would be a much bigger deal, as I'd be ripping off players who contributed to the tournament. 3. My goal in making this tournament was ultimately to try and warm the oft-frigid relationship between the BW and SC2 communities. This was to be a test case for running a tournament before I did a more ambitious project (with maps custom-made for the purpose, larger prize pools, etc). Because this was scheduled to run right after Game's ICCUP-induced retirement, the theme of the Tournament has gone from "Ribbon's Hippy Love-fest" to "The Yellow Memorial Tournament" and now to the "Fuck You ICCUP Starleague". EDIT: STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS RANT DELETED tl;dr: I sent Game the prizepool, and he already had his personal fee. It's all in his hands now when it starts. | ||
