So to be clear, this is a separate CSL from the one here?

If there isn't an entry fee, how can I be sure that I'll be fighting quality teams? Without some sort of entry barrier, everybody and their dog could sign up and I'd waste precious SC time fighting non-A-rank players!

Yes, it's separate. The two organisations are in no way related, aside from similar names and the fact that hazleynut is in both.

Is there any reason to join the CSL instead of CSL+?

Not that I have anything against it, but be careful - you don't want too many people mercing or else this could turn into a B-rank slugfest with the D-rank players who actually attend the schools predominately winding up on the bench.

yeah, it'd probably be limited to teams with smaller rosters and be limited to at most 1 or 2 outside players

The more I think about it the more I think it's an absolutely horrible idea to bend the rules with regards to mercing.

If you do that you'll wind up with winning teams composed of people from all over the place...

Mona feels she has lost control over the CSL that she envisioned and has decided to step down from the corporation. Since we already have a larger registration than last season, I will continue to operate this tournament in the same format/structure/rules as the previous season with improved reporting for coordinators and look-up abilities for all players.

She is now looking for volunteers to recreate and restructure what has been done so far and are in essence disaffiliating with this CSL. This is an opportunity for those of you would want organizational involvement in the current CSL to step up and those that would like to follow Mona to do so.

I know from experience and input that the finals for the beta season was poorly organized. Mona decided to do away with our software system and do it by hand with some volunteers which is why it turned out so. They are currently looking for web designers and graphics editors and such to start over, as they now lack every resource needed to run a tournament other than enthusiasm.

Please open a new thread if you want to discuss further or help out as many people probably want to know. We currently have 29 schools through the 2nd day of registration, but there are some that were very adamant against the fees. If you know for a fact that you will not participate, please let me know in one way or another so I can update the registration.


I guess that means there are two CSLs...

I hate this thread. It screams "Cool we're going to do stuff stay tuned." Please stop making threads like this.

For future reference, follow along at home:

Good:
1. Do stuff
2. Post about it

Bad:
1. Post about stuff you're going to do

Edit: To be clear, if you need help that's fantastic. But you don't need to drop these drama hints and "stay tuned for content". It's bullshit!


Does Teamliquid have a monopoly on hype? Lol.

Xeris, this isn't hype. It's "We're doing stuff, of which we have said nothing. Stay tuned." You don't need to say that.

Also I will offer 30% of Vandelay Industries for your Light hat.

This thread is just basically saying that the CSL will NOT be charging money after all the drama from the old thread. Xeris then just paint'd up a cute little banner. What's wrong with that?

If it had been a smaller thread with no picture, then it would have been, "oh cool, CSL's grown up"...

Players on a team are limited to only those who attend the school, taking courses for credit, intending to graduate in the future correct? So people who have already graduated and are no longer with the institution would not be allowed, while people who, say, took a break for a few years for military service or something and are back at the school would be?
