haha yah, oh well - I didn't react at all so the cannons got up easy :s silly mistake. Will definitely be there next tournament, unsure if I'll be playing because I'll be out of practice as I'm in my last year of school so I am being forced to study a lot thanks to parents <3
^ changed my mind, I'll find a way to practice. Will be playing next tourney

Re: the map pool, probably best to exclude a few of those non ladder maps (crevasse) for the low level players in the initial group stage? Just my opinion. Next time ill have more than one PvT strat/experience against mech so i wont go out 0-2 in the ro16 after going 9-0 in the group stage ahhhhhhhhhhh  . Oh well, pretty good for my first sc tourney. And just for a few people who were making a few snide comments about me right behind me as I was playing : Keep the idra inspired comments to yourself!
I don't know if you're referring to me - I play toss though and was like "phoenix vs terran?" but when I realised your strategy I thought it was so smart! and you had the micro to pull off the early game harass. I was very impressed to say the least.

No I dont think it was you (you were the guy that was having the gfx problems right ?) Just some people making shitty idra stlye comments about me within earshot because they see me with colo/vrays against zerg.

Next time just look over at them and maintain eye contact for like three seconds, without saying a word. They'll feel so bad that you heard them and you'll feel amazing.
Tommy Lee Jones style.

It was extremely amusing. I'm never going to let him hear the end of it.

I was looking into getting a projector / PA system for casting, and i had Joe (The owner of MCinternet) clear the room for us, but it's just so damn expensive. I'll continue looking and at this stage my options would either be borrowing a projector from somewhere or using a large 30" monitor if i can find one. If anyone knows or has a projector and would be willing to lend it to the tournament for the day that would be amazing.
At this stage I don't think ill be entering the next tournament, but running it instead and probably casting. I'll discuss it further with Ben but It will be some time in June, I'm meant to be going to exmouth/rotto with some mates and attend a few 18ths during that month but I'm going to make it work and host one somehow ^_^ .
Hit me up with an email at kkulisatunhla@gmail.com if you want some more info on the next tournament, or if you have a beautiful projector/pa system for us to use.
EDIT: Could probably hire a projector but it would mean that $80-ish would be taken out of the prize pool.
Thoughts?

Considering that the vast majority of players that attend a tournament will not win, it's better in my opinion to enhance the entire tournament experience as opposed to the reward for one, two or three players. Of course a bigger prize pool instills bigger competition, but being up on a big screen with casters analysing every move in your play could also encourage people to 'show off' and play in a competetive manner as well 
Looking forward to the next tournament! Exams will be over in June so I should be able to come :D

Dammit didn't realise this tournament was even up! You should do another facebook event like last time, because the tournament forum gets pretty active and often the page will get lost in all the threads.
Were there still too many players to enter like last time?

I agree, having a projector would greatly increase the awesomeness. This would be really cool

Agreed, especially for a small tournament in Perth. I would assume most people enter the tournament not for the money but for the fun (it's not like this tournament is someone's career).
In order to account for the cost of the projector you could also increase the amount of players in the tournament, I'm sure more people will show up than last time (case in point: people posting in the thread saying "I didn't even know it was on"). Providing a better experience (eg with projector), as well as your tournament becoming more popular in Perth (word of mouth, TL, etc), will result in a snowball effect of in the tournaments size (to some extent), in which case you can then begin to raise the prize pool as well.
Considerations for projector/casting however, include two fundamental things: - Not having horrible casters. - Making sure it is somehow soundproof.
Edit: Forgot MCG is limited to ~40 computers. This is a potential issue in raising the size of the tournament players~

That sucks bro Personally, I thought your play was great. YOUR PVT WAS SO GOOD TO WATCH :D

there is the potential to run an online qualifier...we would need the numbers to justify running one however. ultimately up to the local Perth community and how keen everyone is. if 50-60 players registered and played online for a spot in the top 32 we could include more players.
