Hello,

you can not host such events without contact the Administration.

There are the Terms of use and Tour rules to respect and we also can give support and information (for example the 1st-2nd March is scheduled the season reset and the server will be offline for hours)

Msg me via iCCup or skype @ iccup.face


Oh great, you can't even host a tournament now on iCCup without iCCup being the face of it? =_=

don't worry, any tour is a good tour, as long as it doesn't rely on hockey cards.

Exactly, I didn't think you needed it either, and there has been plenty hosted without there permission i'm sure....which is why I think it is ridiculous they are also trying to be the face of this tournament lol...

Do you think it is going to increase iCCups Population by forcing people to have iCCup as the face of every tournament, asking people to pay to enter tournaments, advertising to pay for rank in ladder, ect.?

It was mainly established to keep an overview of who does what and when stuff takes place. This should make sure no admin wastes time to host a ladder tournament, while a defiler tour goes on, or that you host special events during prize tournaments. At the same time, you could also inform - just like it happened - if the server goes down for mainentenance.

Aside from all that, if you use an alien system for the first time and are somewhat of a stranger to the current staff there, you might contact them on your own, just to be nice and get in touch. Obviously regular hosts like yoda do not need to run there for any tour he hosts, as it is known. He still did it in the past regardless, mostly to get server announces and news support.

Futhermore, thank Game and Eywa for the countless ways to have the rules read worse than they are. Replay sales and the inclusion of blacklisted users is a no go, another reason for first time hosters to approach the team first, just to make sure. Dunno about you, but for me it is a no brainer that I ask first if it's really important to me. The banner on top was always a demand by Yelloant, even though nobody really insists on it to be reinforced, or that your tour would be banned if ICCup is not featured in huge letters on top of your thread/banner.

As for sales go: One thing you mentioned was an idea to raise prizes for players by players, just like yoda did. Yoda is a greedy capitalist apparently. The other one, buying things in store to raise money to keep the page and all servers online, is apparently equally bad. If you think that's reason enough to hate something, hate Teamliquid (TL+). Hf in your narrow minded world.

I hope a person with your capabilities understands the point now. In case you did not, let's try it like this:

...really? There is no reason to act like a child lol, comparing teamliquid and iCCup in terms of marketing relationships is absolutely silly, TeamLiquid is alive and booming and has been for a very long time, iCCup on the other hand is dead most hours and inactive for a very good bit of time, so why would iCCup be trying to make money off of everything on there server when they are inactive to begin with?

Your argument is futile, and you are wrong....

TL+ is a great way to gift someone (one of your friends), or for yourself, this website is active...
How silly would you feel spending $ on iCCup when there is so few users?

Do not answer every troll spreading hate on iCCup admins Gecko, doesn't worth the time. You see we are talking about him instead of the good tour created by DjKniteX.

GGzerG is just angry coz I banned his account Ever)P(TelecoM for being very BM, now he doesn't miss a chance to talk shit.

Just forgive these mediocre ppl and wish they will grow up.

Wise words.
@GGzerg and anyone else it may concern. Iccup has always upheld their tournament policies and been completely reasonable in working with whoever wants to run a tournament.
@OP, your event is good willed. However, I would be wary of anyone donating money to you for "future events". At least if it went through the iccup PayPal account people would know where it was sitting. Regardless, I don't believe anyone should accept money for advance tournaments and instead take all donations and add them to current prizepools. Also, fans could always donate directly to the winning players PayPal themselves.

I don't even play BW often anymore and when I do, it is not on iCCup. I could care less that one of my accounts was banned, way to uphold a professional demeanor for iCCup face lol....

Iv spent some hours discussing some BW event with Knitex, unfourtantly i dont have time to help organize any event at the moment, but im happy to see some enthusiastic BW fan who spend time&money to make some BW event for the comunity. I encourage those who can to help Knitex out, i trust this guy and his intentions. I start off with donating 25 $ for the prizerpool.

Thank you for hosting this, i look forward to it

will you stick with five rounds of swiss system or do you plan to expand if more people show up?
might be worth to explain it a bit, not many tours use it.

Which format would you think would be good? I'm kinda used to the swiss system from TCG and having the top players making it to the top cut(play-offs). This way, even if the player loses their first round they can keep playing other rounds.

Or go with round robin?

I like the idea of a foreign BW tournament, I hope you manage to find the help you need to make it happen.

I really don't understand the arguing above since as far as I know nobody is paid or has ever been paid to do what they do on iCCup. Same goes for tournaments like this, it is all out of the pockets of people who love the game and want to make it more fun for the players who really put some effort and time into becoming somewhat good at it. Or at least I think that goes for the BW section, correct me if I'm wrong.

And on the side note I notice that the bw server is getting a bit more active than before recently so nothing is pointless at the moment.

I'm having an easier time getting games at the B+ level than before. I think that BulgarianToss is right about the server's activity.

I would like you to try the swiss system because you play various opponents but don't necessarily drop out if you lose one because of a bad bracket or group. The only disadvantage I see, is that every player has to wait for all games per round to be finished before the next one can start.
It would also be nice, if you would provide a map pack for your tournament to avoid using different versions of the maps.
