Hello All and let me quickly introduce myself. I go by Parmigiano these days and have been wanting to host a fairly large tournament with a decent prize pool for years.

Good luck all! Out of curiosity, why are players only allowed to enter one qualifier?

We only allow people to join one qualifier because the same person could potentially qualify for the group stage twice if they played both qualifiers. That would mess up the groups for the next round. Top 8 from both days advance to the group stage. So we need 16 unique people for that to work.

Ah, right. I was just thinking in my head it might be difficult to fill all the spots up over both events. You could just remove the qualified players from the 2nd qualifier but I suppose that brings up other issues.

There is definitely a contingency plan if we cannot fill all of the spots.

Both! But all the mods only speak English and one speaks Spanish. In the rules it describes how to choose what server to use before a game starts to keep things fair ping wise.

Couple updates here.

Registration will close 9/16/2021 at 11:59PM EST. Please if you are thinking of playing sign up before that date so we can get the brackets in order.

We still have some spots to fill and we will be lowering the requirement to participate to Master 2 in order to do so as quickly as possible. If we overfill, spots will be offered to those with higher MMR/Aligulac rating first.

Hey All! Today is the final day for registration for the Team Gosu Bounty Brawl. If you plan on playing please register by 11:59PM EST tonight. We have 10 spots left as of right now. We will also take reserves after we fill up in case people undoubtedly do not show. If we do not fill, we will continue taking registrations up to the date and time of the start of the first qualifier.

If we do not fill at the start of the tournament there will be bye's for the top rated players based on aligulac rating. They will earn their first bounty just for showing up! Hopefully we fill up and look forward to seeing everyone there!
