Rules and Regulations
1. All players competing must pay their entry fee prior to tournament date (save $10) or day of event. No exceptions.
2. Tournament format varies from event to event and is contingent upon the number of entrants. All events feature some type of bracket play. Preliminary games are always Best of 3. Finals will always be a Best of 5.
3. All forms of BM are strictly forbidden. Friendly trash talk and banter is allowed but should be kept to a minimum as to not disturb another players focus.
4. Typing "gg" at any point other than the initial "gl hf gg" period at the beginning of games will mean that you surrender. This is to prevent any offensive "gg" as well as any players that continue to play after typing "gg" in the hopes of causing their opponent to halt normal play.
5. Intentionally delaying a game is strictly forbidden. Players may pause at their convenience but only if they announce they are doing so (sec, pp, ppp, etc.).
6. First map will be picked through vetoes. Each player will take turns vetoing a map until only one remains. After that map pool is open and it is loser's pick.
Map Pool
Please note that his map pool is adjusted from the one listed on the Event Brite page. Please disregard that.

Update:
Hey guys -- first and foremost, we can't wait to see you all this Sunday. Its been really awesome to meet the local SC2 players in our region over the last 8 months. This is a really fun series we put together and we want to continue them but the economic realities to produce this event is becoming harder to justify as our local customers expect availability to our venue to be open to the public on weekends. Also, due to some staff changes at Playhem it is possible that they may not continue to sponsor this series.
In order to keep this monthly event going we would need to have more community support and restructure the series with additional marketing partners and business sponsors. The most important thing now is to come this Sunday and show us that you want to keep this monthly series alive. We are now charging a $10 venue fee for both player and spectators.
Best Regards,
Jonathan Loor
