Hey guys, following the success of the last tournament held in Perth and due to the high turnout and the much larger than expected SC2 scene in Perth I've decided to hold a second tournament. Yes yes, the first was hosted by the guy we all know and love, Griefer, but he has informed me he would like to compete in this one, so I've decided to take over the hosting reins.
Tournament Details
Size: *40 Players*.
Due to venue restrictions, we can only have a max of 40 players coming to play, however, there is plenty of room for spectators  .
Date: Sunday, 15th May.
* Date finalized. 15th of May it is.
Format: 4 Groups with 10 players in each group, Round Robin. You accumulate 1 point for a win, the top 4 players in each group will then move on.
* Sanic - Winner of the last tournament, will be seeded at #1.
** Timmes - Runner up of the last tournament, will be seeded at #2.
The tournament will then move on to a round of 16, in which each match will be Bo3. The Grand Final and 3rd Place Final match will be a Bo5.
* In the event of a tie for any of the top 4 places, we will have a look at who won the direct match up between the two people tied, then that player will advance
Map Pool:
The map pool will be as follows:
Shakuras Plateau
MLG Metalopolis (Fixed No Close Position Spawning)
GSL WC Crevasse
GSL Crossfire
GSL Xel'Naga Fortress
Shattered Temple
Tal'Darim Altar (Ladder Version)
Backwater Gulch
Xel'Naga Caverns
* In group stages, you'll play each map in the order they are presented in above
** In Ro16, each player will veto (1) map they do not wish to play on, then the player who finished higher in their group will choose the first map, with the loser choosing the next maps there after.
** In Ro8, same concept
*** In Semi-Finals (Ro4), same concept
**** In Grand Final and 3rd Place Final Match, each player will veto (2) maps they do not wish to play on, etc, etc
Time: 10AM. Sign-Ups commence at 9:30AM.
* Like the last tournament, if you are travelling from out of Perth, email me or pm me some of your details and I'll reserve a spot for you, if you don't show up by 9:50AM however, I'll offer your place to someone else.
Entry Fee: $20.
* I have to stress this is a non-profit tournament, every bit of money that is left after covering venue costs will go into prize pool, it will be in excess of $300. I'll even be forking out some of my own money into the prize pool and to cover excess expenses.
** Would also like to point out that I'm accepting donations, every donation received will go straight into prize pool, do not feel obliged to donate however.
Location: Shop 2, 114-116 Murray Street, Perth.
The place is called MCGaming

Sorry guys, added date!
@Azzur
We have until 4PM to finish up. So I think we will
|
9xBo1's + 16 person single elimination will not finish in under 7 hours, I assure you that.
|
Can't make it. Damn, was really looking forward to this =\
Good luck to everyone who enters though.

Particular date?

The earlier you decide on a date, the more likely you are to get interstate players
|
I don't think anyone will come interstate for a $300ish prize pool. Potential, though!
As a note, I can't make any Sundays, and I'd also question whether it would not be better to hold it on a Saturday given that a lot of people might be coming in via public transport and Saturday public transport schedules are more flexible than Sundays , I think.

If its on a sunday I can possibly make it from interstate, probably not if its on a saturday.

The venue costs are really low, if 40 people turn up the prize will be in excess of 450. MCC gaming is a wonderful place.

If 40 people turn up, the way it is now, the prize pool will be $480. That's without any external input.
At this point in time it's definitely going to be on the 15th of May.
Also, the reason why it's on a Sunday is because it's just easier. The number one reason is that I'm unreliable on a Saturday, and I'm hosting the tournament. But added to that, many people have different commitments on Saturdays, and Sundays are generally people's free days.
Public transport may be an issue, but that's just something everyone has to deal with. I'm assuming a large number of people will be travelling by car, but for those who happen to only be able to travel via public transport, you guys (including myself) will just have to make other plans.
