BWAPI mini Tour 2http://defiler.ru/tourney/?t=426
ICCUP Channel name for this tournament is: BWAPI
Hello everyone,
With the deadline for the CIG extended, and my bot now capable of using macro build orders effectively, I decided to organize another BWAPI mini Tour.
The format is going to be a Ro16 Bo1 double elimination with a Bo3 winners/losers finals and a Bo5 Grand Final. The map pool and the order in which the maps are played can be found on the wiki.
Tournament information:
In this tournament, both human players and bots are allowed to sign on. I reserved 6 spots for bot developers.
The tournament will be held at 25 July 2015. The tournament starts at 11:30 (AM) CEST. Because some bot developers cannot be available at that time due to time-zones, I am going to operate three bots alongside my own bot. This service is first come, first served for all bot developers who cannot be online at the given time due to time-zones.
Registering:
There is no rank requirement for both bots and human players.
In order to register as a human player, fill in the following template below and post it in this topic or pm it to me:[
Update: You can now register on defiler.ru : http://defiler.ru/tourney/?t=426

------------------------------
In order to register a bot, fill in the same template above, but also indicate if you are going to operate your own bot. You can pm it or post it in this topic.
If you aren't available at the time that the tournament starts, you can send me the DLL/Java of your bot and I will immediately start 8 matches myself the moment that I download the DLL/Java. Do note that my bot is still in development. So my bot will play differently in the bot match that in the actual competition.
Sending a DLL is possible till Friday 24 July 23:00 CEST.
Initial seeding:
At the start of the Ro16, each bot will be paired with a low ranked player due to the low play level of most bots. Higher ranked players will be seeded based on when they sign up.
Prize money:
I currently have a paysafe card of €25 and a paysafe card of €10 available for the first place and second place respectively. Both bot developers and human players are eligible for this prize money.
Keep in mind that a paysafe card isn't accepted everywhere. You can ofc gift your paysafe card to someone who can use it.
Tournament system:
The initial seeding will be available at the team liquid wiki:
BWAPI mini Tour 2If it is possible, I will use the defiler.ru tournament system for this tournament.
Livestream/casting
I am not going to Livestream/cast this tournament as it is progressing. I will cast the bot games from this tournament after the CIG deadline. If anyone else wants to livestream and/or cast this tournament, post it here in TL and I will get in contact with you.
Other information:
- No race picking. You only use the race that you registered with.
- Everyone is allowed to use the observer version of a map, but I would advise bot operators to instead give the replays to the casters. This due to the fact that the high apm can cause lag if an observer is present.
- Bot developers are allowed to let someone other than their-self or me operate their bot. As long as that person is available at 11:30 CEST and can stay for all games that the bot has to play. If the operator has to leave, all further games that the bot has to play are automatically forfeit.
- Bot developers are eligible for prize money if their bot wins. Even if they are not operating their own bot.
- Bot operator should not use Anti-hack as it conflicts with the BWAPI. Human players should have AH on the whole tournament, unless they are playing against a bot. Against a bot they can turn AH off and use
LatencyChanger for LAN latency.- BWAPI bots should have the "complete map information" flag set to disabled (by default it is). They are allowed to put the "user input" flag to true for chat purposes only.
