WingsOfGlory has a point, though i think only the last season and current season should be considered.

Good stuff orD.

WingsOfGlory's concern is valid insomuch that we have several "incognito" admins for the tourney who assist in determining if a player is smurfing. Please report any suspicion of this to OrD or another admin directly and we promise to look into it.

As for banning pp who were previously platinum? No. I instead applaud their decision to attempt to improve and regain that lost glory despite the damage to pride from demotion. Having these players participate (and they only occasionally do) heightens the competitiveness of the tournament and thereby its effectiveness as a training tool.

StoneTalon: Currently we are NA only (thanks for the question OP has been updated). Though we are looking for admins to expand to EU - any interest? ;D

Thanks everyone for feedback! Please keep it coming.


*EDIT*
More specific guidelines to help control smurfing are being added to the OP for each Tourney as yet another measure to eliminate any and all smurfing.

So Redditers brought up some great points and I wanted to share some of them here and hopefully make it clear that "Good as Gold" is extremely serious about catching and preventing Smurfs:

+ Show Spoiler +
[–]LinuxUser4Life 1 point 4 hours ago
I have a really really bad feeling there are going to be multiple smurfs at this tourney due to the prize pool. Smurfs always ruin the fun.

[–]OrD_SC2[S] 1 point 152 milliseconds ago
This is of course a big concern for BSG tourneys, there are some simple ways to establish suspicion and "Good as Gold" has a staff of 4-6 "background-checkers" to hinder this possibility. When a smurf is detected their account is reported to Blizzard/Battle.net, across z33k.com's tourneys, and to similar sites. This turns continued smurfing into a very expensive habit. (Also, the top EIGHT all get money!)

Telekenunes, the tourney start time is at 9pmEST - after that your time commitment depends solely on how well you do! (the more games you win, the longer you're up/online and playing)

Hope to see more and more pp there b/c "Good as Gold #36!" starts in ~4 hrs and....

I've got interesting new filler content and a new overlay. Don't forget to have your friends and family watch you play on: http://www.twitch.tv/Or_D

In case you missed this in the OP...

Some details for the reinvigorated "Tournament of Chompions":

Prize Details: "1st and 2nd Qualify for Chompions Cup on June 24th"

The winner and runner-up for all of the "Good as Gold" tournaments held between 28 May and June 21st will receive invites to play in the "Tournament of Chompions" against each other to determine the monthly Chompion. (if they cannot attend weekly performance and placement of other competitors will be assessed and a replacement will be selected for each competitor).

More details will be forthcoming, but here's some of the highlights:
- Double Elimination
- Bo3's with Bo5 semi's/finals
- Map picking and veto's "enabled"

When? --> June 24th, starts at 1pmEST
Prizes? --> Your gamer tag/handle/name in our sponsor, PJ Schnyder's book (www.PJSchnyder.com)
Tell her how awesome you think this prize is (and tell her I sent you): @PJSchnyder

The more people viewing the better prizes will become available in future weeks!

Thanks for reading, looking forward to casting this! ;D
