(Bronze, Silver, and Gold)This tournament is based on the current Blizzard Ladder Map-Pool (blmp) to give us Gold-plated folk an opportunity to practice our skillz in a competitive atmosphere where a loss doesn't mean falling down the @#%#$&% ladder.
We want to provide a competitive environment that aids in overcoming "ladder-anxiety."
+ Show Spoiler +
The hope is for participants to be provided a constructive and courteous environment to improve and continue on their journey up the ladder as quickly as possible! Absolutely no *BM or trolling will be permitted [auto-ban]. Thanks for your help in this.
Ask for help with anything [tournament related], especially if you are new to online tournaments.
Feedback is welcome - please contact an admin on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/OrD_SC2) or Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/OrD.SC2) with any questions, thoughts about format, start-time, etc. We're always happy to improve.
To Reiterate: Bad Manner (BM) is not tolerated in any form and will result in a ban to ensure a positive tournament/growth experience

- No Late-comers are permitted
- Admins can assist you in registering if there are any issues
Gameplay
- Please make every effort to contact your opponent
- If you cannot contact your opponent let an admin know by chatting with one of them directly
- If your opponent has not shown up after a 15-minute grace period your admin will adjust the brackets accordingly

- It is the match-winners prerogative to update z33k.com with match results AND replays
- z33k.com brackets must be updated before the next round begins
- Disconnects must be replayed if the game is still in the first 5-mins. If more time than that has elapsed and the players cannot decide between themselves who the victor was/if a regame is required they must contact an admin who will make a final decision
Map Pool
- All maps used MUST be Blizzard ladder map-pool variants (often referred to as LE for "ladder edition")
- Map-Veto's are not permitted
- Map-Picking is not permitted, currently the Tourney is set up to force players to practice on all of the maps in the ladder-pool
- Again, all maps must be the Blizzard-variant (it is a map pool tourney)
Races/League
- No race-picking
- You may change your race up till the tournaments official start time
- Games played with a race that does not match 33k.com check-in info will be registered as a forfeit
