Monitor Issue...The problem with this is, if someone brings their monitor, and they get knocked out of a tourney. Are they going to want to sit around and wait for it to finish so they can get their equipment back? Most likely not. BYOC - This is not even remotely an option for many reasons. Computer nerds have infected computers first off. Its a fact, and we don't need peoples computers infecting others. Second! Cheat's, macro's, anything that would not be legit. It would take so very much time to go through every persons computer to make sure none of this is present. At that rate, the tourney would last 2 days. If this has a good turnout and seems like something that we would like to do again in the future, then I will definitely speak to my boy who runs the place and have a BYOC weekend tourney event. What im getting at is we cant have people playing mind games and threatening to leave the brackets cause they are not kosher with the equipment or the setup. I dont want to waste spots on the bracket for people who are willing to come and play no matter the setup. Since I will be there until the event is completely over, I would not mind bringing my 22` LG from home, not a problem. If we can turn up 3 others as well, then we will swap the monitors out. Shoutcasting - You guys are more then welcome to bring your own computer's to do shoutcasting as your PC's would have no effect on the game play of the tourney. We have many projectors aimed at the walls that you can use. ANY other questions, feel free to ask. | ||

If we've got widescreen monitors and high res, sweet. If we've got 13 inch CRTs, just as well. Let's just have some fun  Amen to that, great attitude. | ||

I'll post up the info here for Ryan, unless you already have the info, then I'd need it from you XD | ||

The point of the PC is for projection quality, not internet access, at least as far as I could tell. Would rather have the games cast in the highest detail we can get since they will be blown up. | ||

So feel free to bring your whole PC setup, and Ill make sure you and who ever else has a nice separate table for you guys. I believe the projectors are all networked through the entire building so that shouldn't be an issue. If there is anything else I can do, let me know. As of right now, we have 3 22' LCD monitors. If we can get one more, then I will be down for swapping them out Monitor Swaps: dreadl0000rd - 1 LG 22' LCD Hasire - 2 22' LCD's Ok great, so one more widescreen and we're all set... Actually, I just realized- I could probably grab an old 22" I gave to my sister, 'cause she is out of the country until November... It displays at 1680x1050 native, though. I think Hasire said his does 1440x990. Do you know what resolution your 22" does Dread? It's not a big deal if 2 machines do 1440x990 and two do 1680x1050, as long as the opponents are playing at the same res. | ||

Edit: Most people aren't going to have an issue with 19 v 22 as long as they are both showing in 16  or close to it. The only issue anyone ever had was using 4:3 since SC2 is too generous with monitor fitting. | ||

The only issue anyone ever had was using 4:3 since SC2 is too generous with monitor fitting.Yea Hasire said his were 19" not 22" guys. I also said i have a 19" 1440 : 900 So if we could get one more 1440 : 900 then everyone would be playing on the same monitors. I believe 19" 1440 : 900 are the monitors that all major companies are shipping with standard machines for the last year or so (like dell/hp etc) So im guessing someone out of the 30+ people going has one. | ||

Yup, just PM me your Battle.net name and race you play if you want to go on the reserve list. Either way, feel free to come check out the event. We'll try to make things as interesting as possible for spectators, with RyanRushia/Drogith helping out with casting. | ||
