I also added a "Previous Winners" spoiler in the first post for a little bit of bragging rights xD The rest of this week's daily cash tournaments are currently open for registration and I'll open the bigger prize weekend tournaments soon, check the spoiler toward the bottom of the first post to see which are open and for quick links to them. Direct links to tournaments also have the fast signup on them so you can basically skip the whole "Add sc2 to your account" step to make things faster. Make sure to use your invite link when you invite friends because you get 350 points for each referral that plays 3 games =D | ||

There was an unexpected small glitch here and there that should be cleared up sometime tonight/tomorrow morning. The tournaments tomorrow (Wednesday July 6th) should run much more smoothly. As far as playing games/updating; as long as both players press "I'm Ready" before playing each game (it isn't once per match in a best of 3 for example, it's before each game), the site will automatically verify the winner. It usually happens in a few seconds but it can take 2-3 minutes sometimes, just try to be patient please. It seems like most users would prefer self-reporting of matches with replay uploading so that's something we're definitely going to keep in mind and look into, I'll keep you guys posted with any updates regarding that as well as any other changes =) | ||

The site is running smoothly as promised and today's tournaments as well as future ones should run much better =) I do want to remind everyone though, BOTH users have to press "I'm Ready" before playing each game, and be patient because it might take 2-3 minutes to verify your win. The rest of the weekday cash tournaments are open for registration, look forward to seeing you guys and congrats to Tuesday's winners! | ||

Yeah absolutely, I just don't create them as early in advance because I don't want too many people no-showing because we don't have a waiting list feature implemented yet. And I'm glad to have you aboard with us man =) | ||

Remember though, check-in begins 30 minutes prior to start so you need to press "I'm Here" sometime within the half hour. That's really important guys. I didn't realize this before. Times on the Playhem Tournaments page are localized for the user, so those should show accurate starting times for everyone. Check-in is the half hour before each tournament. | ||

Otherwise it looks very hard to enter more than one of these daily tournaments per week. Does the twitter thing count for each game or just each series? Hey man, it's pretty easy to get more points, see this: On July 05 2011 10:38 neeb wrote: Points + Show Spoiler + Every new user starts with 500 points. Points are used on Playhem for players that don't want to wager cash against eachother or in user-created tournaments. They're also used to buy-in to tournaments for cash prizes that are sponsored by Playhem. You can get points a variety of ways including: -Winning head-to-head matches -Winning points tournaments -Participating in Playhem Bonus Point giveaway tournaments -Posting a game result to facebook or twitter (20 points per post on each site) -Referrals (Earn 350 points for each referral that plays 3 games on Playhem) -Playing on Playhem! (200 bonus points every 5 games played) There's actually a bonus point tournament open for registration right now! http://playhem.com/#!/tourney/9697 And when check-in starts you will get a pop up notification on Playhem with a timer that says "You have 30 minutes to check-in, press I'm Here" just hit that and you're checked in. But check-in doesn't start until 30 minutes before the tournament, so for Monday-Friday prize tournaments check-in is at 5pm Pacific / 8 pm Eastern. Points are also awarded in those tournaments but it's to the top 3 finishers (so they get cash and points). You get 20 points for posting a game result on Twitter, and another 20 for posting on Facebook, for each game, not series. But the easiest way to get extra points (besides playing games in head-to-head matches or in tournaments and getting a 200 pt bonus for every 5 games played) is participating in these bonus point tournaments like the one registering right now. It always pays to finish higher obviously, but in these tournaments all players are given bonus points (even last place) and it's only 10 points to enter. Good luck and glad to have you aboard, let me know if you have any other questions! | ||

Sure, go to the "Head to Head" page, cursor over me (my account is NeebSAGA) and challenge me, we can do a test challenge and you can make sure it works, gogogogo =) And I would suggest joining the bonus point tournament so you can get some extra free points for future entries to cash tournaments. | ||

This is my first tournament and I don't want to mess it up :D No problem man. You gotta bring up the little chat thing with me though on the head to head page, click my little icon (should be bottom left). It will look like this when you click it http://i.imgur.com/2uaa5.png | ||
