FAQ
Q: Why the smaller format?
A: We were very transparent after the fact about letting people know that while the first SHOUTcraft America was successful in terms of viewership, it did not provide the returns we needed to sustain the format. With the help of Ting, we are able to put on a sponsored event on a slightly smaller scale. We also feel that SHOUTcraft works better as a weekend event rather than a 7 day tournament as we did last time. This will create a more compact, easier to watch experience for everyone.
Q: Can non-continental Americas players participate?
A: Only if they can provide proof of a valid work visa or permanent residency status during the period of the competition. Student visas will not be accepted. This is to ensure firstly that there are no legal ramifications for our sponsor and secondly to maintain the integrity of the tournament as a regional event.
Q: Will the tip-jar be available?
A: Yes, viewers will be able to tip their favourite players via Paypal links on http://www.shoutcraft.com
Q: Will there be an offline final?
A: This tournament will be played entirely online.
We really need one EU ladder too
