Matches are Best of 7: Sequence of games will be: 1v1, 1v1, 1v1, 2v2, 1v1, 1v1, and a 1v1 ace match. The first five players must all be unique, and if 3 players are reused, at least one player from set 4 (2v2) must play in one of the rounds 5, 6, or 7. There is nothing in these rules that prevents a player from playing in four sets (for example sets 1, 5, 6 and 7). I had assumed that players are not allowed to appear more than twice in the lineup, but these rules do not reflect that. Is it correct to assume a player will not be allowed to be in the lineup more than twice? | ||

We have an internal site for match submission which reflects all of the constraints. | ||

Also, will the event be streamed, or will it only be viewable by the on-site spectators? | ||

http://www.justin.tv/cesleague We will be following this style of tournament format. We originally intended on double elimination, but are changing to this pool play style. ![[image loading]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/kdy922/tour.jpg) | ||

I couldn't find any videos of him, all that showed up was some choir. He's a pretty good caster. He is a writer on TL and has casted for the DAS Keyboard Tournament along with the IU Lan. He specializes in Protoss cheeses and pretends to know the game (jk)  .LOVE YOU BRIAN <3 | ||

We originally intended on double elimination, but are changing to this pool play style. Will the groups be random or seeded? Also, will 3 groups feed into one side of the bracket and 3 into the other as that picture may or may not suggest or will the teams from the same groups be spread out more to avoid rematches? And lastly, when will the groups be announced? edit: I think this got fixed. (At least its not showing for me anymore.) | ||

Obviously totally random could have 2 of the top teams facing off in the round of 16, even if they swept their groups, potentially robbing one of a higher finish. That scenario makes me think it would be strictly better to have at least some seeding going into the knockout stage. Please keep us updated on your decisions. + Show Spoiler [No longer relevant, see below] + edit: I would like to suggest this as a format solution: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/2T7a1.png) Where the group winners from groups A, B, and C would be randomly placed in the 3 spots labeled "1ABC", runners-up from groups A, B and C in "2ABC", winners from groups D, E and F in "1DEF, runners up in "2DEF", and the four best third place finishers being randomly placed in the spots labeled 3. This solution would avoid potential group rematches, award group winners with easier round of 16 matchups (at least avoiding other group winners), and maintain competitive symmetry. Moreover, the drawing for which groups are placed where in the bracket could occur before the event takes place, allowing for smoother flow on the day of the event. | ||

What about the teams that don't make it out of their group into the round of 16? Ladder/spectate? We are trying to come up with some alternative things teams can do. One idea was a 8 person FFA for all knocked out teams. Each college would appoint one player to play. . | ||

After group play, teams will be reseeded according to the pool play results before entering the 16 man single elimination stage. Teams with the best set records and matches will be seeded at the top. Tie breakers for the round of 16 include ladder seeding (used to determine pool groups), etc. In an absolutely indeterminable tie breaker (nearly impossible) an "ace" match will be played between the tied teams' best players. --Also prizes updated | ||
