Definitely not this reason. It doesn't even make sense. It doesn't matter if an online tournament doesn't meet the laws of a country; it's not even within that country's jurisdiction to rule on that unless somebody from that country joins the tournament, and even then that country's court will probably not be using its own law to rule on it.
NA-only probably because it's easier to schedule and broadcast, and most likely for protectionist reasons. EU has a lot of tournaments and a lot of interest, so I'd expect NA to try to grow the game without EU input (e.g. like international tournaments that deny entry by Koreans).

Actually, there are different laws in different regions as to playing in 'games of skill' (and other terms) for money. Legal departments of larger companies are quite wary about such things so this probably explains why some tourneys are more regional.
In this case, the sponsors wanted to focus on NA for this particular event. We will be throwing more events this year and they will most likely have a broader scope. 
Please remind your friends that the action kicks off Friday night! The less people who forget (and get a FF loss) the better.

There's a ton of players for this whose names are longer than what is allowed on bnet. Confuses me why they would put in that info lol If you are talking about some players having a 4 digit character code, this is in fact correct. Some people on Battlenet have 4 digit identifiers. No I mean some people have 15-20 character names listed. I just did a quick scroll through all the signed up players. The longest character name I'm seeing is 13 characters. I've seen several of them at that length so I'm betting 13 characters is the max Battlenet will allow, I don't know for sure though. I don't see anyone that is at 15-20 characters. Edit: typo
So I guess I just glanced through the list too fast.
But here's one: mythicalgryphon.669

@Ack1027
Yeah you're right. Guess some people decided it would be a good idea to register bogus accounts. Like stated above though, any players signed up but that didn't make it into a group can join the CEVO Support Ventrilo tonight at 8pm CST and we will add players in for players that forfeit. You must be already registered though.

Not that I'm aware of, but I am now chilling in "tactic3donline". Maybe the tournament admins can make this their dedicated channel?

*sigh* lost my 1st round 2-1. The first was a macro game that I won and the other two were early early (borderline cheese) banelings. I was like there's NO WAY he'd do the same thing twice... and he did. lol -.-

We were getting so many PM's we were responding to them for an hour and a half before we got to everyone. Sorry for the delayed responses in some cases.
Next round is scheduled. Contact support if you are having any problems. Thanks!

The system sends an email notifying us we have a match an hour before the match deadline and then awards a double FF. Ridiculous.
