TOURNAMENT PROCEDURES

CHECK-IN: There is no limit to the maximum amount of players. Only players who check-in in the 30 minutes check-in period before the event starts will be able to participate!

MAP POOL: On rounds where it says "Map Vote" you will use the following maps to determine, together with your opponent, the map that will be played. Just open a chat with your opponent and take turns vetoing (voting down, eliminating) until there is just one map left. Not playing on the correct version of the map may result in a re-game or disqualification of both players. The decision belongs to the admin.

Any ESL, GSL or MLG version of the following maps:
Antiga Shipyard
Bel’Shir Beach
Daybreak
Metropolis
Shakuras Plateau
Tal’darim Altar LE
Cloud Kingdom

REPORTING MATCH RESULTS: After the match has been played, you must report the result by clicking on your name in the brackets. This will open up the Report Match Result page, where you can report your score and upload your replays. Uploading your replays is required to report successfully. For BO3 matches, if it finishes 2-0, then the 3rd game has to be reported as "Did not need to be played".

CLAIMING A PRIZE
In order to claim your prize, you must register an account at PokerStrategy.com. Prizes will be deposited directly into that account and you can decide how you want to withdraw it from there. The procedure is fast, simple and will allow you to receive your money quickly. You will be contacted by a Z33K admin with detailed instructions on how to register to receive the prize.

RULES:
Disruptive behavior or a failure to follow the rules listed below will result in disqualification.
- You have to play the race and Battle.net ID that you signed up with.
- You must contact your opponent on IRC or Battle.net to play your match.
- For Best of 1 Matches, the game must be played on the map listed on the tournament or brackets page.
- For Best of 3 Matches (or more), the first game is decided through a MAP VOTE process. After the first game, the loser picks a map from the Map Pool listed above. Each map can be played on only once in a match.
- You have 15 minutes to start your match; anybody that is not present after 15 minutes will get a disqualification. Contact an admin if you are unable to play.
- Spectators: only allowed in-game if both players agree. Those listed as tournament admins can always join any game they wish to. Those who are listed as one of the official livestreams are always allowed to stream your game. When in doubt, check the top of this page.
- Bad manners: BM is not tolerated. Continuous bm, racism, threats or other sorts of bad behaviour can result in disqualification and a ban.
- Disconnects: If the player who is winning disconnects, it is a re-game. If the player who is losing disconnects, it is a win for the player who is winning. If it is too close to call it is a re-game. It will have to be very clear who was winning and who was losing, otherwise the admin will normally be on the side of caution and have a re-game done. Any decisions as to who was winning and who was losing are made by one of the admins listed.
- Pauses: to allow his opponent to know he will pause the game, the player who wishes to do so, must type in any number of 'p'. This pauses should not exceed 5 min total and can be done just 2 times per game. Any abuse will result in disqualification.

We're hoping this event will be a way for some of the lesser known gosus of the SC2 scene to get some publicity. So that a guy like Feast wouldn't need to qualify for IEM to really get the word out.

Fifty dollars a day, and a chance to compete against a professional player for a lot more? Looks like a great idea!

Robih, we're going to move the freeroll tournaments a bit earlier. We're looking at 1900 CET. If that time is still problematic, we can always change it.

interesting tourney, i will at least turn in sunday for the showmatch.
The mappool could be troublesome what if one player wants the MLG version of a map and the other one wants to play on the GSL version of the same map?

Most maps have some racial imbalance.

You can always avoid playing on them by vetoing them in the map vote process. Your opponent may pick it for G2 (if he loses G1) but that leaves you with the map choice for the final game.

It's literally impossible to make a map pool with 7 maps that are more or less balanced. So we have a system in place to mitigate the effects of these maps as much as possible.

if you follow this link and scroll to the bottom it says next event "12days away" so the first games should be in 12days.
