Eligibility:
In order to be eligible for the prizes in this tournament you must (1) have a North American Battle.net account and (2) reside in the continental United States / Canada*. I am shipping these keyboards from my house and unfortunately we just cannot afford to ship these globally. However, if you do live outside of the United States/Canada, you can still receive the prize, but we would ask you to pay for the shipping costs.
All players are welcome to participate, though players with higher league standings will be preferred.
You can sign up for the tournament at z33k.com's webpage.

Rules:
Again, players who wish to be eligible for the prize must have a shipping address in the Continental United States and Canada. Anyone outside of this region can still be eligible for the prizes; however, they would be responsible for covering shipping costs.
All participants in the tournament must check in for the tournament 20 minutes prior to the start of the event. Anyone who misses the check-out will be replaced by a player from the reserve list. If there are special circumstances, please send me a PM.
All matches will be played right after each other. If a player has reported, they have 10 minutes to start the next match. No observers except casters will be allowed for the match games. If the caster requests to stream a match, the game must not start until the casters are ready and in as spectators.
All match reporting will be done through the z33k.com website.

Big ups to Das for sponsoring this tournament and supporting SC2.
Will the coupon code only work on their own site or on the Canadian affiliates as well?

Their Description for the Ultimate Das Keyboard is so sweet. Its "Bad Ass". I think Das also hosted the first fastest typing contest of some sort?
Also is this IUgaming, I went to site but couldn't figure out if this was IU at Bloomington?

Quick question: You say that Das ships to Canada? I'm definitely buying a keyboard if I can use that 20% code, but when I enter my Canadian postal code, it's invalid. (Also, I tried the educational discount thing, but they only ship to USA for that).
I've contacted their customer support a few days ago, but no reply. Would I possibly need to purchase from a reseller?

Yup, a check-in button will appear when checkin starts.
Also, if you do not see your name on the player list here: (z33k.com/starcraft2/tournaments/274/teams then you are not yet registered. Signup will be open right up until the tournament starts.

its not just u its down for me as well
|
It's up for me, just really really slow.
|
How do we handle people who don't show up? Is there an irc or anything?
|
|
|
Other than adding one's opponent on Battle.net, what else are we required to do for contact?
|
Not sure if this is the right place, but what should we do in the case of a disconnect in the first 3:30 of the game? I'd assume just remake, just wanted to check.
|
Just curious, when will the lucky draw be? :D
|
I won my first match but Z33K is going so slow / not loading, and I can't report my match.
|
Is it possible for ppl living in europe to make use of the promo code event sale thingy?
|
where is irc or admin contact for this? also map/series are different everywhere

Eh. Instructions said to post FB name and battle.net ID / character code. He didn't.
|
Is there a coupon code for das keyboard? I want to buy one but they're so damn expensive =(

2. Also during our event, we will be giving away 2 free Das Keyboards to 2 random lucky winners watching our stream. In order to register, like the IUGaming Facebook Page and the Das Keyboard Facebook Page, and post your full name on the Team Liquid thread (or PM me "rbkl" the original poster, if you are uncomfortable doing so).
What is the problem?
