We are now looking at a 5 players a group of whom 2 will advance. Everyone will play 4 opponents in a best of 3. If people are tied at the end there will be regames (UNLIKE WCG!).
Players will have to be approved by me first. Then the payment can be made.
Disc
In the event of a disconnect, the player with the higher score cannot recieve a loss for the game (just a general rule, exceptions can be made, for example ilnp would've gotten a loss for his disconnectin WDT in this tourney).
The game will be replayed unless the player that did not disconnect was clearly winning.
In Team Liquid #2 Veg disced in a game against Cope. Cope clearly had an advantage, but it was also very clear that the game was still open. We made them play again. Veg had to win 2 games and Cope just 1. Veg winning this was about as likely to happen as coming back from the game he disced in. Situations like this might come along when we see fit.
We refuse to apply rules such as disc is loss?or disc is regame?. We feel doing something like that would be the easy way out. We choose fair and harder way.
Bugs
Flying drone (not allowed)
Flying templar (not allowed)
Allied mine (bug or not ?not allowed)
Mannerpylon (bug or not ?not allowed)

Hold Lurkers (bug or not - allowed)

Date
31 May and 1 June will be the initial tournament dates. After this it should be down to about 2-4 players with who we will scheduel the final matches. For the first day general time will be 20:00 GTM+1, second day will probably be earlier. Check your windows clock to see what time you live at.
