So you want to post about your tournament? Awesome! Here's a few little things that will make your life easier.

Date, time and countdowns
TL features [date], [time] and [countdown] bbcode tags. With the date and time tags, simply write a freeform date or time with timezone, and it will be converted to the viewers local time zone. Eg:

[date]October 1st 2010 5pm GMT[/date]
becomes
Friday, Oct 01 5:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
[date]next friday 6pm edt[/date]
becomes
Friday, Sep 17 10:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

The countdown tag accepts a date and time in the same format as the date / time tags and displays a countdown to that date. For example, [countdown]2015-01-01 00:00:00 GMT[/countdown] becomes , and updates in real time showing minutes and eventually seconds as the time draws closer.

On a related note, especially for North Americans, please be aware of Daylight Saving Time. If you write 5pm EST during the summer, this is actually 6pm Eastern Time since EDT is the time zone used during the summer. Writing the wrong time zone can be very confusing for people from outside the US trying to convert the time to their local time zone. Try to use the date and time tags to avoid this issue.

Liquipedia
Do you have big players in your tournament? You can use the [wiki2] tag to link to their Liquipedia player information page to give readers detailed background information. Simply put their player name inside the tag, eg [wiki2]TLO[/wiki2] becomes (Wiki)TLO.

If your tournament has a number of notable players in it and a prize pool, it should be added to Liquipedia also. Please see http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Liquipedia:Tournament_tutorial for more information on creating a wiki page for your tournament.

Race Icons
Want to use the fancy little race icons instead of writing (T), (P), (Z), etc? Simply use :x: where x is either t (), p (), z () or r (). Use uppercase for a slightly larger icon ( )

Country Flags
Want to easily use country flags like these: us uk de ? Simply write the ISO country code between two colons, eg :us: or :se: and they will be replaced with the appropriate country flag. A space must be present on both sides for it to work.

Images
TL recently added an image upload feature that allows you to easily host images on imgur.com, a fast and reliable image hosting site. If you want to host banners, brackets, photos or any other images, please use the "Upload Image" feature right above the reply box next to the bbcode / poll links. This will automatically resize any large images so they fit perfectly with TL's layout and generate a link to a full size image.

Very nice post. I especially am getting confused by the time zones even more so when people forget that PST and PDT are not always the same for example.

I see what you did there! Hahaha, but seriously the date code is awesome how we can write it in pretty much any format and it formats itself and changes to KST.

Big Team Icons! By VirgilSC2

On September 02 2011 03:54 Probe1 wrote:
Hey guys. Lately I've been making more and more blank templates for quick and easy use in Live Report threads. A wise poster once prescribed a number one rule. Don't panic. Let's take some of that advice and apply it to the SC2 tournament forum!

This is a resource to store formats, templates, banners and any other tool for a Live Report thread. In so many words: Just like the Brood War Tournament Forum has.

At this point I'm going to steal whatever I can from Dropbear and reorient it to SC2. Credit goes to him for most of the thread.

No Live Report Thread and it's about to start? No problem. Follow these simple steps and even you can be MrCon.
    1. Don't panic.
    2. Go to SC2 Tourneys forum and select create new topic (it's at the top).
    3. Browse through this thread and select the items you require. Remember that a banner and results/recommended games sections are the bare minimum for a decent LR.
    4. Copy the coding that corresponds to the images you need. Paste them into your new live-report thread!
    5. Please credit the people responsible for the items you use. They worked hard to make them!
    6. Don't forget to use bolding, centering, spoilers and to TLPDise (the little red hydralisk button).
    NOTE ON TLPD! + Show Spoiler +
    Underneath the calendar on the right hand side of TL is a section headed TLPD. The dropdown menu is automatically set to BW (Korea). Changing this to SC2 (International)/ SC2 (Korea) BEFORE you do your TLPDising should eliminate problems with bw profiles for sc2 players. Alternatively you can just change tlpd#players#135#Z Z to their current race and add #sc2-international or #sc2-korea as a hotfix.

    7. Once you finish your beautifully crafted thread, open a new tab of the Tournament Forum and hit refresh. Is there already a thread for the tournament? Does it reach at least the minimum expectations? If not, then go ahead and post! If so, then you are yet another unsung hero lost in the midst of thousands of posts. Don't worry, I still love you.
    8. Update the thread as the match progresses with results etc.
    9. OPTIONAL: In the OP, include a section bookmarking the start of each game in the thread. (Thanks to Jubinell for the idea and CoffeeJelly for testing)
    10. OPTIONAL: Check Featured News or the Starcraft 2 forum for articles and threads relevant to the tournament. A article by TL Writers can be the sprinkles on a sundae or the shot of chambord in a martini. In other words: TL Hype is classy. If available then don't neglect it!


Once you get the hang of it you'll see it's easier than staying awake.
Just like a LR thread this will be a work in progress ^_^ Please post any feedback, inclusions; exclusions or anything else that fits the theme of the thread. This will only be as useful as the contributions posted in it!

  • The winners of these matches will then face each other in the ‘Winner’s match’. The victor advances to the playoffs (Round of 16)
  • The losers of the initial matches face each other in the ‘Loser’s match’. The loser will be out and will have to go through the Up&Down matches after the tournament, to determine if he can stay in Code S.
  • The loser of the Winner’s match and the winner of the Loser’s match will face each other. The winner advances to the playoffs. The loser is out but stays in Code S.
  • After the group stage is over, 16 players remain. Players who finished first in their group will be paired against players who finished second in a different group.

GUIDE TO LIVE REPORT PLAY BY PLAY
      The two most basic principles of a live report of a match are game time stamps and a unbroken chain of quotes from the start to gg.
Time stamps allow the reader to know when something happened. Quoting yourself makes a chain of events that turns into a coherent flow of the actions that made up the game.


You are welcome to live report however you wish. The Guide below is easy to learn from and teaches how to improve the quality of the live report.

[Guide] How to LR and Post Nicely by MoonBear

      Excerpt:
What is LR-ing?
      LR stands for Live Report. This is the act of describing an SC2 match in real time by posting about the details of the match in the Match Thread. You can think of it like commentating through posting. LR does not mean forum QQ, whining or balance posting. LR is primarily for informational purposes.


      MoonBear's definitive guide on the profits and perils of Live Reporting explains what, why and how both succiently and with accuracy. An excellent how to guide of Live Reporting.




When you are finished with your live report, be sure to click the # button on the last post in your chain and pm that page to the person that opened the thread so it can be added to the OP.

Guide for LR Thread

Step by Step: What have to be in, what should etc
+ Show Spoiler +
Pictures are always an eye catcher, this post don´t have much. If you think about making a LR thread you have to read through

The list is no general rule how it should be posted. Things like matches might be better very close to the top of the thread. Change it the way you like. If it´s wrong some people give very fast feedback.

TL has many good tools to make your thread better, important ones like Liquipedia and TLPD should never miss. Many people work for these things and you will find most informations you need in these!

BB codes don´t have space inside the brackets [ ], everything posted below is with space so delete the space if you put it inside your post

  1. Thread Title
    Go with the title shown right at the Calender, simple. No confusion, no need to think about something catchy.
    Add Day 1/2 etc if it´s a event that is played over several days or Group A/B, Playoff if it´s planed like this.
    Use [ ] for easy recognization like [GSL] [MLG]

  2. Banner
    The Banner is an important part. They mosten times contain Sponsors, the name of Tournament and are a nice introduction to your thread.
    Sometimes dates, players and other minor informations are in them. So they can also generate a bit hype. Banners can be found here
    Examples: + Show Spoiler +
    [image loading]

    [image loading]
    If you don´t have banners already in the forum, search in google. Most times you will find nice banners on official sites too.

  3. Date/Time
    Very important information. Write the time or date in your timezone and use the [time][/ time] or [date][/ date] BB codes around it. This will show it in the readers timezone if he selected his timezone in his profile.
    (Be aware that at least on the second page the first one will ask "when does it start"?)

  4. Streams
    Most times streams are easily available through the stream list. If you have additional infos (like casters) or streams that are not on the TL list add them here.

  5. Schedule
    Does the Tourney have a planed schedule? If yes add it to your OP, keep updated if there are delays. Many don´t have the time to watch the whole time and can plan accordingly.
    Make a picture and post it if possible or just link it.
    Example: + Show Spoiler +
    [image loading]

  6. Layout/astetics
    I´ll spoiler this, ignore it if you wish so
    + Show Spoiler +

    • Section headers
      With many sections adding Headers will make it much more easy to read. You can get amazing looking one from BW forum, the Second post in here or create your owns on free sites like here

    • Lines for sections
      For small sections headers might be too much, if so you can simple add [ hr] before/after the section it will make a line across the post

    • Center your post
      You can center everything by adding [center] at the beginning and [ /center] at the end. Of course you can add the tags for every section on it´s own. This will make your post much more pleasing to watch.

    • Colors, Bolding, Underlining...
      Use [red][ /red], [green][ /green], [blue][ /blue] and the codes on top of post box to show important parts. This will help the readers to get usefull informtions.

    • Lists
      Have many minor infos? Making a [ list] [ /list] of them will make it more attractive than a block of text. Add [ *] before each line.

    • Spoilers
      Not only they make everything more easy to read, they also + Show Spoiler +
      make people curious



  7. Matches
    Possibilities
    • Some important matches
      If there are only a few (and perhaps scheduled) matches add the pictures and names from TLPD. If there is a schedule add the times.
      Example + Show Spoiler +
      [image loading](P)MC < [time]1400 CEST[ /time] > (Z)NesTea[image loading]

    • Big bracket
      Nobody expects you to add every match. Link to the Bracket, if available add a picture of the bracket perhaps in spoilers.
      Example: + Show Spoiler +
      [image loading]



  8. Results
    Very important!
    Include either a Result Section or make it part of the Matches Section, but spoiler it!
    Keep it updated! Most people come in the thread after some time and want a quick overview.
    If possible add the maps they played and make the winner bold for every map.
    Example:+ Show Spoiler +
    (P)MC < Metalopolis > (Z)NesTea
    (P)MC < The Shattered Temple > (Z)NesTea
    (P)MC < Shakuras Plateau > (Z)NesTea


  9. Recommended Games
    Like above, for important/broadcasted games make a poll "Add Poll".
    Post the poll after the game finished and add it to your section. If it´s a BoX perhaps quote your fist poll for the first game and add the second poll so people who didn´t see the first one can vote now.
    Please stick to "Yes/No/If you have time", other options might already spoiler the result like "Lol, Terran/NO!!/No"
    Example:+ Show Spoiler +
    Poll: Recommend MC vs NesTea Game 1?

    Yes (2)
     
    100%

    No (0)
     
    0%

    If you have time (0)
     
    0%

    2 total votes

    Your vote: Recommend MC vs NesTea Game 1?

    (Vote): Yes
    (Vote): No
    (Vote): If you have time



  10. Live Reports
    Several people often livereport the games like Drazerk, Probe1 and others occasionally. This is the basic intention of LR threads and a great help for people that are not able to watch the games live due to work or bad internet.
    Please consider adding the updated posts to your OP. A guide to LR can be found here.
    Updated final posts look like THIS

  11. Additional Infos
    Have infos like Price Pool, Map Pool, the format (Round Robin/BoX/...)?
    Add them, might not be as important but these infos are often times interesting and people don´t have to ask as much in the thread.

  12. Links, Coverage, etc
    Many websites have (very good) coverage of big Tourneys. Fragster and Readmore are often present at the event, make Interviews and other stuff.
    Adding a section where you post these links is a good thing toi have. Especially if they contact you and ask if you might add them.


+ Show Spoiler [Appendix] +
Many things might be missing, create the thread the way you like it. Nobody else will spend as much time at the OP as you
If you need food for thought just look at other LR Threads open like GSL threads
Don´t forget to update Tournament Section before posting, someone else might have done a thread already.

Adding something like Liquipedia for results and informations is always important.

If you take banners/section headers/... from people please write it somewhere in a short line, that way you thank them for their work!

If you find mistakes, something to add/delete please tell me. This post can ofc be posted at the beginning of the thread if people think it´s helpfull.

If this thread becomes a sticky it might be good if the standart OP maker like MrCon, Asha or Probe1 who cover every [GSL] Day write in here if they are not able to make the OP.
This way other can jump in and make the work without making an OP and notice too late that already one is done.
