Now I don't know if Players are expected to show up and play at each and every one of the "Rounds" (I'm assuming so, can't find any info saying otherwise on the website). If so, the tournament is expecting a pretty big commitment from players, making them screw all vacation plans for their entire summer. Again, I'm assuming players have to show up at every round. If not, I guess I'm a fool for posting this. But you're asking every player to set aside every 3rd day of his/her summer from June 23rd and 2 months forward. If this is true, you need to clarify that fact on your sign up page, or I sort of fear this tournament might be riddled with walk overs and no shows. If I'm wrong about having to show up every 3rd day, I'm sorry. But you need to post some info clarifying the matter either way. I won't commit to this without some clarification -- and you'll save yourself plenty of walk overs and no shows. Agree with that. But i think the pro tournament wont have as many rounds. The thing is, for an "amateur" this is a pretty tough schedule. Also, im also kinda surprised by the "amateur" prizepool. | ||

The first two stages of the event are both group play, with the top 2 in each group advancing. This means you don't have to play every match, but it would hurt you to miss matches. You will also be able to play before the times if you can get your opponent to agree to play early. | ||

For example in the cpmplexity tournament, qxc and optikzero played in the amateur tournament, but they both play on professional salaries... If youre basimg it on skill, that see,s very subjective... Otherwise event looks great For the complexity tournament the format was 32 invited players and then anyone could sign up for the open tournament. Complexity did not invite qxc/optik so both decided to play in the much longer open tournament for a spot in the finals. This event also has 2 divisions but is a lot different. For one the finals don't combine the two, they are completely separate. The amateurs will still have to play a lot more/longer than the pros. There will be a lot more pro players since it is not limited to 32 like the complexity event. Just to name a few differences. | ||

So if your opponent rather takes the freewin he just doesnt agree.. :/ | ||
