I'm asking because I've already checked the internet cafe we played in but unfortunately they don't have it anymore (no fault of theirs) and since I was too foolish to change the settings on my b.net account to save the replays onto my b.net account.. well obviously they weren't saved on there. On a different note, I also had a great time at the event (but then I won so my opinion is rather bias). Have to say I was also very lucky because I was contestant #35 which I think makes me part of the 4 who got in thanks to the extension to the # of players. In regards to that and to the host/organizers of the event itself; Cheers  Unfortunately we don't have the replays as the net cafe didn't allow any replays to be saved on computers at all due to the way their system was set up. I had no idea you could change your settings so that replays are saved to your Bnet account. If you have the spare time, could you please send me a PM explaining briefly how? Thanks | ||

Also met a lot of people, who knew that so many people would turn up! Hopefully the next tourney will run more smoothly so there are no silly bo1 losers brackets... Thx Griefer for organising and everyone else that helped :D For the next event it's been suggested that we do a GSTL style team tournament, which I personally love the idea of. Feedback towards this suggestion would be appreciated. | ||

Thanks My bad, don't think you can save it on the b.net account. There is an option to have all your replays saved automatically but I think that's just to stop the automatic deleting of replays when it goes past 25 or w/e the number was. | ||

PocariSweat.606 AceJJ.954 (I don't play on this account anymore) on SEA I would estimate myself to be high diamond/low master (was high diamond on my previous account) level despite my new account being placed in gold (I crashed in 2 out of 5 placement matches...) I rather not play on NA servers cause I get pretty bad lag. | ||

Most of the people who attended this tourney came with friends, so their teams would be automatically set up. We discussed options for players without a team, and one of the top suggestions was that players could sign up and list themselves as solo. I'd then randomly assign them to a team of 4 players. To avoid disputes over who plays, I'd force a cycle of each player per match. | ||

If finances permit (I don't know if this sort of thing turns a profit for you or not Griefer), perhaps do one tournament a week, alternating between teamleague and solo leagues. | ||

Hence the cries as a few people got bracketed against their practise partners (*cough* I played Sanic in round 1  *cough*) | ||

At that point the teams are largely ornamental and not really influencing the outcome. I definitely like the idea of team leagues but make it open only to pre-arranged teams of friends, with a solo league. If finances permit (I don't know if this sort of thing turns a profit for you or not Griefer), perhaps do one tournament a week, alternating between teamleague and solo leagues. To run a tournament it requires a lot of preparation and mad amounts of stress, I don't have the time to run a weekly or fortnightly tournament. Monthly would be nice but currently the way the tournaments are being run i make a loss, by how much, I wish not to divulge The problem with running a pre-formed only team league is that it excludes shy players in the community and players that don't have a large group of friends who all share the same competitive interest in SC2. The ultimate goal of all of my tournaments is to include as many people in the community as possible, provide a friendly atmosphere to compete in, and provide a means to network with other players. The prize money is only incidental, as it gives the incentive for the players to show up and adds credibility to the tournament. Being able to run a solo league alongside a team league may be possible in the future, if social networking occurs between players in the solo leagues. Time will tell. | ||

. I know cybergamer did a tournament but it was more you had to drive to a net cafe then play your game there, then drive home. A proper tournament like greifer hosted would be great, but unfortunately I doubt there are many people in canberra to participate | ||

I like the way you ran it encouraging as many people to play despite league, its good like that. But yeah sounds like a new venue would be great for future events. Any events coming up soon? I wouldn't mind coming ^_^ I saw that rflan but you have to bring your own computer which I'm not too keen on lol | ||
