Well, there is a Nijmegen version happening this year 
The application deadline is the first of April, but you must be a RU or HAN student of some kind, I'm not sure if you would qualify?
But you can find the thread over here:

And the website over here:
www.nssl.nl
The offline live finals are on campus on the 7th of July!

I really like the idea of it, but i dislike it being for students only. It is understandable why you want that but you could gife younger people a change aswell. I am now in VWO5 and i really like to participate but it seems i can't do that right now.
But if it still excist when i go to an university i will participate.
The national version is no longer for students only, all dutch citizens can join
|
This sounds great! If anybody wants to start a team for students at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, count me in. If not, I'll probably make a team with my friends.
|
Bah I'm a student at the VU but (hopefully) graduated from my masters next year. Would definately have liked to participate.
|
Hope this happens! Would give me a reason to really start training again ^^.

Mm I would consider "DSCO" as name. Dutch Starcraft Open

Maybe even Dutch Open StarCraft League... DOSL
|
Pretty damn cool!
I might even start practicing for something like this
|
Hmm, I like the 'Open' somewhere in the name, great idea
Maybe we should consider some more options for the poll mr. van Caspel?
|
I would love to compete with people from the netherlands. I'm no student tho so I guess I will have to wait 2-3 years before I can participate... Just make it national so everyone can make teams and join.

Thanks to everyone for their input! I believe the poll has shown that 'Dutch StarCraft League', abbreviated as 'DSCL' is a name which many people think is fine name for the tournament. I will request a name change for the topic and have claimed several domain name: dscl.nl, starcraftleague.nl and dutchstarcraftleague.nl.
@Aelonius, Paulio & bblack: while the tournament will indeed be as open as can be, I believe this will be sufficiently implied by the fact that its called the 'Dutch StarCraft League' (with no further qualifications), which - incidentally - I think sounds better. We'll make sure to be very clear about the open status of the tournament on the website. Also: both DSCO (Dutch Seating Company) and DOSL (soccer club) are associated with other Dutch organizations, while DSCL is not.
@agahamsorr0w: no need to wait 2-3 years, read the start-post!
@theMarkovian: thanks for the tip about the abbreviation. #DSCL seems to be a hardly-used hashtag on Twitter.
|
Good job on putting all this together^^. Can't wait for the DSCL! 
|
The Dutch Seating Company? lol
|
As I understand it, NSSL (Nijmegen Studenten Starcraft Leage) is a university-only tourney as a beta test for the DSCL-league as a whole, so after the NSSL is over, everybody can join.
Great initiative and I'm looking forward to this
|
Yep - you're right. The sign-ups for the DSCL have not started at the moment, and this year's NSSL is only open to students from Nijmegen (RU or HAN).
Do you guys think that if we set up the dedicated DSCL-website and sign-ups after the NSSL has finished (June 7th), that would be soon enough? I think it should be.
|
Totalbiscuit and dApollo would be freaking baller I'd be at the even just for that.
I'm kind of Sour that there is no ability to get in from an ROC like the one on Heyendaal.
Also I wonder, I am currently being educated in Nijmegen but I will probably go to Den Bosch next year since I will finish my current study this year.
Will this prevent me from getting into this?
and I assume the tourny will be open to view to anyone.
|
@Thomassn: please read the start post - the DSCL will be open to any Dutch citizen!
You might be confused with the NSSL, the tournament which is being held this april and yes - that one is only open to RU & HAN-students. It is, however, open to view for anyone! We will post replays on the website, and there will be a live stream for the finals. But obviously you wont be watching the stream, as the finals can also be viewed on location! See you there
|
im moving to the Netherlands for uni next year, cant you make it dutch residents instead?
|
@halfies: hmm, good question. I'm not sure whether we should do that though. Dutch citizens living abroad can join in, but 'foreigners' living in The Netherlands? I'm not sure! Where should we draw the line? And also: how would we ever be able to verify whether someone from the UK was living in The Netherlands? It's a tough one.
|
well, you have to register with the local municipality if your in holland for more than 30 days, im sure that they give you a letter or something? plus, anyone from outside the EU would have to have a visa in their passport, it wouldn't be that hard. the only thing i think you would really need to pick is how much dutch you would have to speak.
