Thanks fellas!
Hope to have at least one more join the team of sponsors as well. Exchanged emails with them last week and incidentally they were planning on having their quarterly sponsorship program meeting on Friday. We've been added to their twitter page (they're following the Micro Macro 2 twitter) so I plan to hopefully announce good news in the near future! In regard to who they are, think high end audio accessories (headphones, mics, and etc)... Cross your fingers!
Another big thank you does go out to the sponsors we have gathered so far as well! We love you guys!! Now you, the thread reader, go buy stuff from their websites, so we can continue these tournaments in the future!

I'm very impressed as well StewKer. So far a great way to organize a community tournament. I'm also thrilled that you have been so active posting here and keeping up with community feedback!

In regard to the best noob award. That is up for grabs for largely everyone in the sign-up pool of players. The highest placed player in that group gets $50 dollars.
Of course there are a few people in the sign-up list that are known, like SUGGY, bubba, Azz, skY, and some others. Those players are exempt as they are relatively known players but did not make it on to the invitee list this time around. It seems to me that it likely that there will be a tie for how far the unknowns get (say the last 4 of them lose in round 5) will there be a bracket amongst them to determine the winner?
Very true. We'll be doing something similar to what you mentioned or we'll put it up to community poll. For example post replays of their rounds and their round records and say, out of these finalists who should win "Best Noob".
I'll see what we can do and make sure I get that announced before hand, so everyone is in the know.

Be among the highest finishing unknown (meaning you aren't a "household" name in the SC community) players from the sign-up list. The prize could similarly be called "Rookie of the Tournament", similar to the rookie of the year award in baseball or other sports.
For example we do have some people on the sign-up list like SUGGY, bubba, skY, Azz and a few others, that are exempt from this prize as they are already fairly well known in the community. They just didn't get added to the invite list this time around. The prize is solely aimed at players that are making a name for themselves for the first time.
I added a cut-down description of the prize in the rules earlier this morning, it's near the bottom, to hopefully help people understand the prize a bit better.

http://www.djwheat.tv/![[image loading]](http://djwheat.tv/wp-content/themes/thick/images/logo_bg.png) Coming to a Micro Macro 2 Tournament near you... *Note: As the day progresses, this and the OP will be updated with further information regarding the stream. Due to the logistics of the tournament, uncertainty about the second phase of beta, and a desire to provide the best schedule/quality to both the viewers and the players, it is taking some time. I don't want to be posting anymore schedules or etc, unless we have them pretty much finalized. But rest assured, cheating via stream will not be an option.

I would like to announce and welcome ReVival to the tournament referee and administration team.
ReVival helped extensively with match-ups, tabulating scores, keeping players informed, referee calls and etc over the course of the last tournament and will be assisting in much the same way for Micro Macro 2. Once the beta returns and people are able to start playing their early rounds matches, he (among a few others including myself) will be available to help those players who need assistance or questions answered.
EDIT: And yeah, sorry fellas but sign-ups are closed. Try to get in next time!
