Now NCIX is a sponsor for UBC Cup #2?? That is sick!!!!!! I also hope there are some changes made with regards to the map pool.. Like replacing some gsl maps with more familiar maps like backwater gulch (used in NASL and a ladder map), MLG testbug, or MLG typhon peak (also a ladder map)
testbug had a lot of issue with ZvT since it has pretty close spawn for always (no cross position since its 3 ppl map) and T has advantage to defend their expos too easy which makes ZvT too hard for Z,
and backwater gulch is removed because of ZvP.
Typhon peak is the only map we were considered, but since we put dual sight, we choose to take it out, still I want 'Teyrran peak' too

sounds exciting, i'm gonna make some plans to compete...probably need to haul in a laptop/mouse/keyboard...questions here:
spectators - I have a friend who would love to come, but just for the reasons of morale support and spectating. Would this be supported by this tourney?

Yup, totally fine to bring spectators. We just ask that they be good mannered and not interrupt other players, just good sportsmanship stuff.
I personally bring a couple friends along to help with the organization setting up etc.
Oh and if they want to they can make a small donation ; )

oh, I just assumed that if he wants to spectate, he too, must pitch in $15 just like everyone else, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
another dumb question - for the ppl who do their part to bring in their own computers, are they obligated to stay so that others can "share" their machine? Just asking as I'm visualizing two possible extremes of people:
1) Extreme A: brings in his computer/mouse/kb, but is uncomfortable in sharing with strangers, so therefore comes in to do his matches, and then packs up and leaves.
2) Extreme B: brings in his gear, and cheerfully shares and cares to make the maximum possible contribution towards the event.
...and then every person who fits in shades of gray between the two. Any thoughts?

You can share computers, still you don't have to.
We don't mind you share with others, since it will be bunch of 'friendly' 'strangers' to you.
And if u just want to spectate, you don't have to pay 15, but we'll make some food for you guys, so donations are welcome XD.
And in final day, (July 8th), we will have raffle for 150 bucks worth keyboard, you should come for it too :D (Semi final and Final will be held on that day)

Jungho stop posting false information you korean goof lol. Keyboard is up for raffle on first day.
Just to clear things, a small donation of $2 for each day has worked out for everyone in the past. You don't have to make any donation if you are only there for a short period of time or not eating any food. We just think it's fair to ask for a small donation as we're willingly providing spectators 'free' food and drinks .
Also, no one is obligated to share their computers. Typically, we'll ask everyone who is comfortable sharing their computers at the start, and ppl without computers will go ask those people themselves. Last time, we had different groups of friends share between themselves for the most time and no one was left out alone without a computer.

A quick update on this:
Cybergaming is providing us with 4 computers they use for their own tournaments. These are capable of playing sc2 and shouldn't have any problems at all.

This sounds like fun. I will try to figure out if I have time to participate. I was wondering if the code B players play best of threes?

Can someone set up some pro casters for the finals?

On day 1 of the qualification (Sat) everyone will be playing Bo1 round robin format either in groups of 6 or 8, and that's a total of 5 or 7 games played respectively.
The top players are ones with most win counts. Top 4 from code A will play with top 4 from code B (probably a double elimination) giving 4 players seeded to the next day which will be a double elimination Bo3 Winners bracket and Bo1 Losers bracket.

Ascend TV, Cricket SC and Basement Cat will be casting our games. Still in the process of selecting casters that would come in person on July 8th (Basement Cat is one of the live casters who casted UBC Cup 1 with us).
If you know of any pros that would be interested in casting IN PERSON on July 8th, spread the word for us! :D Thanks

Top 4 will be decided by group play; 8 (4 from A and 4 from B) people with the best record will advance and play each other in a bo3, to finally decide the top 4 moving on to the second day.

Like it is said in the OP, there will be 4 computers provided by cybergaming, along with a few provided our execs. At this point in time, you will probably be able to use a computer all by yourself, but you may end up having to share that computer if necessary.
|
I meant in either Code A or Code B, how are the top players decided if certain players in different groups have the same overall record?
|
It depends on how many people show up, but this is probably the most likely scenario:
There are 2 groups of 8 people in Code B, and they play through the group stages.
In one group, someone finishes 7-0 and another finishes 6-1, while in another group, 2 people finish with the same results.
So you have 2 people with 7-0 records, they are ranked 1-2, and 2 people with 6-1, they are ranked 3-4.
In the end, the 2 people with 7-0 records will be playing the 3-4th guys from Code A, and 2 people with 6-1 records will play 1-2nd guys from Code A.

After buying my computer parts from NCIX for the last like decade this makes me so happy they are sponsoring a SC2 tournament, I LOVE NCIX even more now!
