Meteora.816 - Terran
I'm assuming that the first 120 players that register are in the bracket and the others are substitutes in case we have a few players who didn't turn up for the preliminaries? Is this right? I'm just registering in advance but I can't confirm if there will be any change of plans for me during that time.
Are keyboard and mouse provided or do we bring our own?
Oh and I used to play on a older account but I stopped using it, because it was technically my sister's account (but she never used it). It was in gold league but now I'm on silver league. Barely played any games on both accounts.

Im not sure what you mean in the first paragraph. We're accepting the first 128 players to sign up and everyone will play through prelims. The players that made it to the round of 8 during prelims will get to play in the main event on 25th. Hope that makes it clear.
We're hoping to get a few computers from sponsor companies, if not, there will be people willing to lend u their computers / laptops. We suggest that you bring your own keyboard, mouse, headphones etc.

Yeah that clears half of it up. I actually was wondering about if say, ten people didn't show up for the preliminaries, what would happen to those spots?

How do the prelims work? You get matched up against one person and if you lose that one match, you're out? Sounds pretty volatile to me.

Right now, we're planning to match the bronze with bronze for at least one round and merge lower leagues with top players after that
We're also considering double elimination. Like I said in the OP, the format is up for debate still, we will try our best to fit everyone's needs.
Also, we'll have side events going on at the event for those that are bored or out of the tournament. We can either have KOTH or a mini-tournament type of thing.

How about having a loser's bracket? Or a loser's round-robin tourney on the side if setting up a whole new bracket on the fly is too messy.
Edit: Well, as long as I have something to do after I inevitably lose, its all good :D

24 players already! Seriously suggesting lower leagues to come and play too :D
And please leave us your email so I don't have to track down every one of you
|
Should try and do something like a round robin for the prelims.. like groups of 10 and top 3 advance or something so each player gets to play at least 9 games

I`ll come early to help set up, too.

Updated the format as per stalife's suggestion. If you have any questions about it or have any other suggestions, please post them here or send us an email.

I understand that we want lower league players to have fun and play enough games, but wouldn't putting lower leagues into their own bracket kick out a lot of potentially good players in the "good" brackets and lead to some completely one-sided games later on in the tournament when the lower and higher brackets merge?

This is exactly the thing we're concerned with. At the most, they'll be given 2 spots in the round of 32 where they can try to upset the top players in a best of 3, but if we feel that it is too much, we can change that. We're still taking in suggestions from different people as it is our first 'big' event. :s

We haven't had the time to advertise it within the club and on campus yet. We have 30 ppl signed up from 2 nights of me posting this here, and talking to a few friends, so we'll see how it goes.
And you can add +1 to the list! Hopefully stalife and kawaiirice can come too.

getting people to sign up is easy... getting people to show up is another thing.

As much as we want to have as many people as possible, we're not allowing people to play online for various reasons. Sorry ;(

I'm pretty sure that high schools have their Spring Break during March, for one.

I know that it's $10 total to play in all 3 days, and I think we're making it $2 for each day of spectating unless I'm mistaken... I'll talk to other execs and let you know. I'd make it free for everyone if it was all up to me, but we have to somehow cover the prize pool and our treasurer was telling me how we didn't have money for food so...... ;; LOL
AcidiC, it's byoc, and we're hoping to have some other computers/laptops for those that cannot bring their own... So, we highly suggest that we bring yours if you can :D.
|
I'll sign up. I already paid Michael the $5.
Amelie.792

We're hoping to get a few computers from sponsor companies, if not, there will be people willing to lend u their computers / laptops. We suggest that you bring your own keyboard, mouse, headphones etc.
Any idea how many computers are expected to be there? I could bring out my desktop but I don't really want to if it's not a necessity.
|
Please take me off the player list. I can't lug my PC there, and I've been playing Brood War anyway. I'd still love to attend, though!

I don't think there will be enough ;; Again, we highly recommend that you bring your own, it'll just make the event run that much smoother Thanks!

I cannot play in this b/c of work .. :/ I didn't realize this started at 1 pm

Starcraft>work, check your priorities stalife, come on.

Hi guys
REQchbeUBC.503
hope to have alot of fun in the tourney!!!

|
Just a final reminder that the prelims start THIS THURSDAY we've been sending out emails, so if you haven't received them, please contact ubcstarcraft@hotmail.com
Any other commens/questions can be directed to the same email address.
If you haven't signed up, do so NOW, we'll be making the brackets tomorrow.
Also, food will be mostly hotdogs and instant noodles. Hotdogs will be free on the first day, but I think we're charging like $1 for the bowl noodles so bring some spare change! Drinks are free.

Hi guys, I sent an email to you canucks to take my name off the list about a week ago or so cause I won't be able to make it due to something else coming up. I'm not sure if he got the PM cause I just got an email with my name on the player list. Please do take my name off the list becasue I will not be able to make it.
Thanks!

@JCpingpong
I think so, I'll let you know after I talk to Michael, which will be within 10 min.
@aaroB
I took your name off, but forgot to take it off the emailing list. Thanks for reminding us.
I forgot to mention that the prelims will run approx. 1-6PM !!! DON'T FORGET and see you guys there 
|
Btw you coming out to tQ live? :D
|
I can't make either preliminary D: good luck to all competitors!
|
Bump! Shit is on TO-DAY!
My brother (eScEthic) won't be participating today, so I'll take his spot. As I said earlier, though, I'm not bringing my desktop, so if you don't have a computer available for me then just cross him off the list.
Can't wait to see you all there!
|
I'd bring my PC, but I don't have a car to bring it ((((.

yah we were too late in getting computers, so we'll have to rely on others to lend their computers.
i'll let ppl use mine if they have their own keyboards, etc too.

coL so flaky.
i might be able to come!!! do you have to be a ubc student to be apart of the ubc starcraft club btw?
|
I'll be bringing my laptop, so I won't need to borrow anything. I'm also going to be bringing a spare keyboard and shitty mcshit mouse in case someone needs it.

also i got carefoot to go he just got off his plane from korea

First match done, lost to VeoL 1-0.

Thanks everyone for coming out yesterday
The Round of 32 begins today and the likes of REQchbeUBC, coLGanon, REQsAIKOU (but I'm gonna knock him out obviously), WannaBe still remain.
I'm going to try to get the final event on 25th featured on the calendar, so excited!
Bracket: http://challonge.com/ubccupday2
|
Preliminaries are done!
Check the OP for the final bracket. Hoping to get the event featured on the calendar and I will be streaming the final along with a couple of commentators within the club.
The suggested donation is $2 (covers food and drinks) if you want to come by and watch the games.
Thanks to all the players for coming out yesterday and today and good luck to the final 8 on 25th :D
|
Good luck to everyone in the final 8!!!
|
This is probably a long shot but.. would anyone happen to be driving by Science World area for the finals? Up to RO8, I used other people's comps but had some difficulty adjusting (lag, settings, resolution, etc). I wanna try to bring my desktop if possible so if there's anyone willing to help me out, that would be great.
Otherwise I guess I have to use someone else's laptop T_T
