So if you're a code a or b player and you make it to the next day do you play against the code s players? If so why is there money for code A winners and stuff. Kind of confused on the format.
From the first day, the winners of code a and b are determined and prizes will go toward those 2 winners. We're also giving the low-level players a chance to play with higher-leveled players, just for fun. How far you get on the second day doesn't determine anything.
Maybe wording is a little confusing, I'll work to clear this up a little in the OP

sounds like a pretty sick tournament! I'd sign up as a "unranked" player but I'll be in China by then =(

I will try, but my attendance is work-dependant which is weather-dependant. Would it be optimal for you guys to not sign up until I'm sure I can go, or to sign up now and cancel a registration if I cant? Also, how deep is the desk space? I ask because I play from my laptop but with a usb mouse and keyboard, and if the desk space isn't deep enough I have to set my keyboard to the side to use the laptop screen properly (surprisingly easy, but still annoying).

You can just register now and leave a comment on the form saying there's a chance you might not make it. And let us know as soon as possible if you have to cancel by emailing us This would apply to anyone that registered, it helps us greatly to know how much food to order so we don't end up wasting.
Check out one of the main venues here: http://tinyurl.com/6dzdvky . The desks are large enough to fit both your laptop and keyboard in line and that was mainly why we chose the room 
Hope this helps.

I like UBC a lot as well considering I go there...but I am curious, from a high-schooler's perspective who actually doesn't go to ubc, why exactly is it amazing? If starcraft is a bonus, then what makes up the main good part about UBC? Specifically what's good about it?
Ever since that lipdub video I am seeing a lot of "omg ubc is absolutely incredible/amazing"...and don't get me wrong I think it's a great school and all...but I am curious why people are saying it's so good...specifically those who don't even go to UBC and don't know what the experience is like.

For starters, they're the only university in BC that I know of that has agricultural courses.
Also, it does, Puporing, thank you.

UBC is basically the best school in BC, can't really go wrong.

You'll need to get more than a handful of UBC'ers perspective to give UBC its rightful place It's a big and beautiful campus, I cannot think of another campus endowed with such a geographical location. We're known for a diverse campus population, and from that spawns a lot of different and unique ideas/program and drives international projects and collaborations like our exchange program, asian/africa studies. Tons of clubs also showcase this diversity. We're strong in sports and have our own competitions. UBC has always been the leader in sustainable development in North America being the first campus to initiate a sustainable campus initiative and opening the most high performance green building in NA this year.... (so I'm taking too much space here  )
TL;DR version: UBC is what you make it to be with endless opportunities, just like this club, you can start your own
One thing I should mention, depending on your faculty, most likely you'll be in large lecture classes for the first couple of years. Not everyone likes that. But as you specialize it becomes a lot better.
That is all I have to say ^^

I know what UBC has to offer as I already go there (just finished my third year) like I mentioned, I am asking more why high-schoolers are so excited about UBC and specifically what the reasons are. I feel like a lot of false hype is coming from that libdub video lol...

Sounds really fun, I like that you have split up all the divisions but then they feed into each other - should be awesome
I'm not sure of my summer schedule yet, when is the latest I can apply?

Well the greatest factor for me to go to UBC for post-secondary is because I have alot of family over there.

lol I totally misread you there. Main reason I went to UBC back in high school was because I really liked Vancouver whenever family came here for visits. And UBC seemed like the ideal choice..
