When: October 30th 2010 at 1:00 PM EST
Where: Galaxy Gaming in Dover New Hampshire
Prize Pool:
If The Tournament Fills:
1st Place: $200
2nd Place: $80
3rd Place: $40
If the tournament does not fill the prize pool will be split accordingly based on the #of entrants.
Format: 32 Participants maximum. Double Elimination. Based on how many people attend the tournament a certain number of final rounds in both the winners and losers bracket are going to best of 3. I want to incorporate best of 3s into this tournament as much as possible to ensure that the best players take home the money, but at the same time i dont want the lan running until 1am like the last one. So count on double elimination and some best of 3s (if anything it will be just the final 4 in both winners/losers bracket to play Bo3 and the finals a bo5)
Rules: Entry fee will be $25, this includes the full day at the lan center, the tournament entree, food, and 3 12oz sodas. This place does not have a kitchen, the food will be supplied by the people who run the center, they do however have a cooler with drinks and you can purchase more drinks if you want more than 3.
Equipment: Bring your own keyboard/mouse/headset if you want to use them. There is going to be approximately 6-8 computers opened at the place for use by tournament entrants only. There will also be 3 tables set up that i would like to station 6-8 of OUR OWN computers on. When you PM me for entrance to the lan if you have a desktop computer that you would like to bring and set up please let me know, the first 6-8 people to sign up will reserve these slots and everyone else will use the lan centers computers.
The lan center computers are by no means BAD and at a minimum will be able to play the game on medium settings, i just want computers brought from home so that: 1) the lan can stay open to regular customers and wont have us hogging all of their equipment and 2) so we can have as many games going at once as possible to allow best of 3s
Race choice can be determined until 3 days before the LAN so when you PM me for entrance, give me a race, and if you want to change then PM me again up until the 27th and i will gladly change it for you.
Details: The Tournament is being held at Galaxy Gaming in dover new hampshire. The address is 66 Third Street, Dover NH 03820. It is Right next to the train station at the top of the hill.
Streaming: There will be a projector set up upstairs of galaxy for spectators and our very own Drogith will be there for the action. Bringing you 1 game per round on the big screen. This will also be over his livestream online for everyone at home to watch also.
Spectators: If someone wants to come, but does not want to play in the tournament, the charge is going to be $5 or $15 to include food. If you could, please let me know in your PM that you will be bringing X amount of spectators so i have something to go off when everyone shows up to ensure i collected all of the money.
I expect the tournament to run for approximately 8 hours. If you bring your own computer you will be REQUIRED to show up before 12:30 to set up your gear so the tournament can get running by 1:00 PM. If you do not show up by 12:30 then you will not be setting up your computer and you will be playing on one they already have.
I will post brackets when a) the tournament fills or b) 3 days before the tournament.
Disclaimer: If the tournament does not have enough participants signed up within 2 weeks, i will be moving the date of the LAN to the 13th of November to allow for more sign up time. I am looking for at least 20 signups in the next 2 weeks.
Please PM me with the following in order to enter:
1) Name on Battle.net including identifier code
2) Race
3) will you bring your own computer? (remember u have to show up 30 mins early)
4) will you be bringing spectators? if so how many?
I will send out PMS to everyone that signs up 5 days before the tournament, If you do sign up and later have to drop out PLEASE let me know as soon as possible by PMing me here. Thanks guys, i hope to see everyone on the 30th!
