If you get past rounds 1 and 2, it's bo3, so you're still good!

And yeah, it's mostly time constraints. We sometimes finish around 1am (last night we finished at 1:40 am) est. If the tournament moves to a 32 person bracket, we'd be up til the wee hours of the morning.

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words!

Please note that the rules page has been updated!

I cannot stress enough how important it is that you read them. They are NOT just the same copy-pasted rules from every other tournament ever, and there's information in there about check in times and locations.

If anyone asks me a question that is answered on the rules page, I will be very sadface!
READ THE RULES!

Also make sure you look at the map pool. There were a couple slight modifications to the map pool, and it may be changing soon to include some non-ladder maps. This is not a promise or a guarantee, but we're currently looking at other Blizzard maps such as "Crossfire." We will not be adding any ICCup maps.

Week 2 begins Monday. That's not very much time between tournaments! Sign up ASAP to guarantee a spot. Last week we got almost 10 sign ups in the hour before we closed the signup page. Don't wait until the last minute. That's what everyone does.

Gain an edge.
Sign up early!

That'll probably be a couple weeks at least, I'm afraid.

Btw your picture of Scrap Station for the map pool is inaccurate. The two expansion off to the sides closest to the gold expo blocked by Destructible Rocks are shown as islands. I don't know if this was an early version of the map or what. You probably want this picture.

Thanks Xanthus, I'll go ahead and make that fix

I just found images for the map to toss them up and didn't check to see if they were the latest versions hehe - thanks very much!

Keep signing up! We almost have enough for a 32 person bracket! :D

Also, don't forget that next week's prize for the bronze/silver and gold/platinum divisions is TWO HOURS OF FREE COACHING!

YAYYY!!!

ALSO I want to remind everyone to check the rules page. There have been a few changes since last week, including all rounds before the quarter finals being change to bo1. rounds of 8 and 4 are bo3, finals are bo5, so those haven't changed. But ro16, 32, etc. are all bo1.

I've signed up, this will be my first tourney in the bronze/silver and I have a question about lag-outs. My computer sometimes shuts down while playing SC2, any info on what happens if it does it in a bo3 match? I highly doubt it will do it in the bo1 games considering it only does the crash after i've been playing for more than 2hours. It does take about 5mins for me to turn it back on and sign back in. If this is too much of an inconvenience I would be willing to wait for tourney matching and try to fix the issue until next weeks bronze/silver competition

Thank you for pointing that out, Mad-Mardigon. We had discussed how to deal with in-game drops before, and had apparently inadvertently neglected to add such a contingency to the rules page. The page has been updated, and rule #12 should answer your question.

If it is close to 32 people at check in I hope we can continue on with the full 32 person bracket. Maybe give the finalists of previous weekly's a bye in the first round so that more people can play!
