Anyone interested in participating please post your Character Name.Code and race.
~When posting your information, Please say 1 "I will donate to charity" or 2 "I want $15"*.

+ Brackets are up on BinaryBeast.com: http://binarybeast.com/xSC21102080/brackets
+ Prize pool is $100(or more, pending donations) to a charity of the winner's choice.
( Sieg.520 has chosen the Panda Trust for his charity, congratulations! )
+ Final matches were not streamed by GosuGamers.
+ Tournament has ended, another YMWBP event is scheduled for 2/27/2011.
+ Start date was February 13th, first round matches should of started no later then 2PM EST.
+ Details, sign-up form, and other information is provided at my website: www.FuriousReplays.com



I am attempting to host the first ever tournament on, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, that will benefit a charity of your choice! This will in the end be a long running annual event that will occur as often as funds allow!

eSports has made a large movement to the Western front and in the media. As it continues to grow then players across the United States (as well the Globe) can compete on a professional level with the benefit of prizes awarded through tournaments.

Typically tournaments have a cash value or offer gear/tech worth some bucks. I felt a time of commitment and organized what I will dub the "Yo' Mama Would Be Proud" tournament, will be an event for gamers to show their worth in our brackets, and as well across the globe. The winner of the tournament can opt to donate the generated prize pool to a charity of their choice or degrade their dignity and take a much smaller amount of $15 for their own worth.*! This will allow for players to compete in something they love, and as well show their love for the world. This simple idea will allow for a competitive atmosphere, great entertainment, and will give people the opportunity to be charitable in a time where it is quite hard to even support our own selves (for me at least).

Right now I am looking for sponsors, donations, participants, and staff to help me compose a strong running, fun, and worthy deed for the players, and the world.

Everything is currently being put together and maintained by myself, the financial burden is of no stress to me as it allows for me to give my money to charity (Prize pool is currently coming out of my pocket). The pool is only at $100 currently, however being a full-time student and working for the school under a grant does not allow for comfortable living and wide enough pay checks. I am putting forth what I can and have my heart set on doing so much more in the future.


If anyone is interested, please visit my website: www.FuriousReplays.com

- I apologize for the lack of content, but this comes back down to work, school, real life, and having a dog!

You may contact me through my website very easily or PM me here.


ALL PROCEEDS will generate a larger prize pool to be DONATED to a Charity of the WINNER's choice.


Thank you all, for taking the time to read and get involved.
Best Regards,
Brandon aka LetzteAnima


Here I will provide a form that allows for copy and paste;; easy sign up in the TL forums!

Character.Code: LetztAnima.975
Race: Random
Opt: 1

[ * ] Please note that if a player wins and chooses to take $15 instead, the remaining prize pool will be added to a new prize pool and another opportunity will be held next week to donate the larger amount. I of course, strongly encourage no one to opt for $15, this is a tournament for assisting good-willed people in providing our part to the well-being of our world.

i would donate to this if you can get it organized. not to be rude or unhelpful but im not going to just send you a donation for a nicely thought out post. i really like the idea and enthusiasm and would probably donate $50 as well, hope this comes together!
Someone needs to tell the truth, but it shouldn't be my job.

I'm not trying to rain on your efforts which are awesome, but this is not the first SC2 tournament for charity:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=175676

I know they had small prizes.
I always try to shield slam face, just to make sure it doesnt work

You personal contributions are definitely not necessary, but would be commended. No need to donate right away, why don't you just sit it out and see how it rolls for a couple sessions? I hope that with the following tournaments I will be able to generate a larger prize pool just from my own pocket alone!



-------
Also, I appreciate your research... but this was a funraiser for cancer at their institute. While this was a valiant and remarkable event, it does not promote the same cause which I seek. This tournament will allow for a donation to ANY charity as well as other diverse bonuses. Thank you again for you concern though


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, tournament updates have been made... we are just 5 days away now so please, everyone get signed up ASAP!

Hahaha, ofc... gotta beat the IRS.

Antimage- if you can tell me how I can create a legal tax receipt I will do so. However, didn't they make it so you would get no deduction on your taxes unless you donate over something like $40,000?

i dont know US tax law im from Canada.

ya no worries I was just asking =P I'll check out my schedule and see if I can make it

always love these kinds of initiatives. Just in the future, sadly human nature usually requires you to offer a more direct prize that appeases the wallet rather than the mind and consicence =)

Bump for a good cause.

Still not enough applicants, should I pretty it up with images? What can I offer to better excite the will of players?


--- I know what I will do, up the ante! I have now decided to contribute an additional $50 out of my bank to add to the prize pool. You now will have an opportunity to benefit a charity with $100. Good luck everyone!

Best regards
