I'll be swinging by to obs and chill tho. There's literally no floor for skill in this tournament. The prize pool and the higher skilled players shouldn't intimidate or discourage anyone. The more the merrier! Anyway, you can choose to buy in or not on the day of, that is when the brackets and all that are finalized, we are not currently keeping track of who wants to be in the tournament or not. | ||

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT Tournament Day Procedure 1. Check in with an administrator (Jealous, Tim, SuGo - whoever is by the entrance of the venue). a. Early sign-ups: If you are participating in the tournament, buy-in. (5$) b. If you would like pizza delivery, throw in. (5$) c. Receive name tag - use the same name as you will use in-game. You can write your real name as well, if you wish. d. Early sign-ups: Get assigned a computer. 2. Register for membership at the front desk, or pay for hours up front. All reserved computers, regardless of where they are in the venue, are $3 per hour. This equates to 7 hours and 40 minutes of play time for a $20 membership. All tournament participants are heavily encouraged to buy a membership, as this means your time will not run out mid-game. 3. If you are participating in the tournament, it is recommended that you set up your peripherals, make sure everything is in order, and then you are free to do whatever you want until 2:45. At 2:45, you are expected to be set up and ready to go. Tournament matches will start by 3:00 PM. 4. If you are not participating in the tournament and you signed up early, once you have received your computer assignment, you are free to do whatever. 5. If you are not an early sign-up and wish to participate in the tournament, don't go too far. At 2:45, we will assess how many people we have, how many computers are available, etc. and then we will start filling in tournament slots as space allows. Order of priority is in order of sign-ups on the thread, followed by order of arrival at the venue. Reminder: there is NO guarantee that people who didn't sign up early will get to participate in the tournament. Do NOT take an unreserved computer spot unless told to do so at this point. 6. If you have any questions or concerns during the event, find an admin. We will all be sitting in designated areas. See lay-out below. Note: Try to not interrupt games, or stream, whenever possible. If all three of us are busy, then choose an admin that is casting over an admin that is playing. If you have any technical/language questions or concerns during the event, find a staff member from the venue. 7. We will be using Challonge for the bracket. Challonge link will be posted here once it is filled out. This is where you will be uploading your replays. We will be helping people find their opponent at the venue as well. Please refer to the seating chart below if necessary. 8. As people leave/decide they no longer want to play, please inform the administrators. As vacancies appear, we will be decreasing the reserved area to allow for more walk-in customers to use the facility. This will require shuffling people around - in other words, expect that after some time, you may have to change computers, particularly if you are in the general area. Unfortunately, the operating system on the machines is entirely in Chinese. However, I have made a guide for how to start StarCraft/open your replay folder: Tournament Day Schedule 2:00: Recommended arrival time for all tournament participants. 2:45: All tournament participants must be logged on and ready to play. 2:45-3:00: Late additions (late sign-up, walk-in, etc.) to the tournament will be assigned computers if space allows. 3:00: Beginning of first round. ~6:00: Food will be ordered. ~9:30+: Tournament ends. @Tournament end: Awards ceremony, debriefing, logistics to KBBQ/alternative eating spot. I recently found out that the KBBQ place doesn't serve food up until closing, so if the tournament runs very late, we may have to choose another eating place. Details below. Tournament Rules 1. ICCup Ladder Rules where applicable. 2. If an administrator asks you to pause a game, you must pause. 3. If you disconnect from a game due to your hours running out, you forfeit the series. 4. If you disconnect/game crashes/whatever due to some other issue that is outside of your control: a. If both players agree the game was even: rematch. b. If both players agree one person had a significant advantage, win is awarded to that player. c. If no agreement can be made, you may request admin review. 5. Keep your computer area clean. Multiple trash bins line the hallway areas. There is sanitizer and paper towels at the front desk. Don't get greasy food on their stuff. We are trying to maintain a good impression and if all goes well, use this venue in the future. 6. Administrator decisions are final. 7. Don't be a dick. Tournament Seating Chart ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/2zczcGt.png) Note: Admin names are in yellow/orange. Overtime may not be attending the event. Other Announcements 1. I would like to give a big shout-out to Disregard, who will be contributing a classic Team Liquid shirt to the 3rd place finalist! 2. I would also like to give another huge shout-out to the secret organization "Revival of Brood War" who have upped their total contribution to $740, making the total prize pool a total of... $1172 + Buy-Ins! Revival of Brood War's willingness to shoulder some of the administrative expenses has been a huge help! 3. This announcement has been delayed by some inner workings but as of Monday, all future donations (that are not done on-site or that have not been discussed prior) will be going to the next tournament. This is simply due to logistics constraints, but it doesn't hurt to spread the love out over a longer period of time and over multiple iterations! We are committed to making these tournaments a regular occurrence, and any donations you make from this day forward will be going towards that and are as always greatly appreciated. 4. There are snacks available at the venue. I tried some sort of vegeterian jerky-like food and it was really tasty, but it made my fingers smell weird for a while. The herbal drink they had in the fridge was really refreshing too. Can't vouch for any of the other stuff because I've never seen it before but the staff will gladly help you make decisions. They also have instant ramen that they will heat up for you. Here are some photos of the snack selection: 5. The back-up dining location is Congee Village, which is across the street and down the block from the venue. This is just in case the tournament ends late and we are not going to make it to KBBQ in time. I went there last weekend and the food was pretty good, the bartender was friendly, and it had a pretty nice atmosphere. Here are some photos: + Show Spoiler [Congee Village] + ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/LGVkGYl.jpg) Entrance ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/pcdGcX6.jpg) First steps inside ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/R1lRnpG.jpg) Larger of two dining halls ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/jsSln7r.jpg) Bar area (Jim, the friendly bartender, is hiding behind a tree) Phew, that was a LOT of stuff. We're excited to see all of you on Saturday, and for those that can't make it, be sure to catch the stream! GLHF!~ EDIT: If you are taking pub trans, the LIRR is faster by ~10-15 minutes but costs four times as much ($2.75 vs. $11) and is otherwise not any better than the 7 train in terms of drop-off location. Using the 7 train is recommended (unless you're running late). | ||

Official Announcement #10 Chessz has generously donated $125 to the event, $100 of which will be going to the prize pool and $25 which will be going to cover expenses (which is very much appreciated <3). This raises the total prize pool to... $1272 + Buy-ins! Thank you to everyone who has contributed, and I would like to remind everyone that any future donations - whether they happen throughout the tournament stream or outside of it, will all be going to the next tournament! I would also like to note that I added another number to the Tournament Procedures, which I forgot to put in last night. Here it is: "8. As people leave/decide they no longer want to play, please inform the administrators. As vacancies appear, we will be decreasing the reserved area to allow for more walk-in customers to use the facility. This will require shuffling people around - in other words, expect that after some time, you may have to change computers, particularly if you are in the general area." | ||

I'm pretty sure those hours are outdated; when I was there, I was told they close at midnight. I'll double check now. EDIT: They close at 1 AM, last order at 12:30 AM. | ||

In all seriousness, thank you for the good wishes and we have worked hard to make it as awesome as we can! On July 13 2019 08:09 Qikz wrote: Good luck with the tournament guys! Thank you QIkz!
