The reason why residents of Quebec are not eligible to enter many Canada sweepstakes is not because the sponsors don't want to advertise in Quebec, and it's nothing personal against any of the residents of that fine province. Rather, many sweepstakes are void in Quebec because the sponsors must follow a stringent set of rules set out by the Quebec government. For example, in order for sponsor to skip the "void in Quebec" restriction, Quebec sweepstakes law requires that the sponsors must do some or all of the following things: Register the sweepstakes rules and all advertisements used to promote the contest with the Quebec government at least 30 days ahead of the sweepstake's launch. Pay a fee of up to 10% of the sweepstake's value, depending on who is allowed to enter. Agree to allow the government of Quebec to mediate any lawsuits arising from the contest. Follow strict guidelines about the contents of the sweepstakes rules. Allow the Quebec government to determine if the sweepstake may be changed or canceled once it has started. File a written report after the contest has concluded, attesting that the prizes have been delivered or attempted to be delivered. Agree to follow a number of other rules and guidelines. See the Quebec Sweepstakes Laws. While these laws are intended to protect the citizens of Quebec, they are also a significant burden of money and resources to sweepstakes sponsors, and the consequences for a mistake are severe. Rather than run the risk of facing legal action if these long and complicated rules are not followed to the letter, many sponsors take the easy route of making their contests void in Quebec. | ||

You can check groups here. Some of you did not give a team name. In this case we gave one for you. You will know who you are, if you want it changed please contact support. Brackets can be found here. Bnet Names and Codes are not listed on the bracket. If you login to the site you will be able to see your opponents Name and Code. Edit: If your scheduled vs no one that means you have a Bye aka Walk-over. Check the bracket to confirm if you have a BYE for the first round or not. | ||

Off topic: Alienware is amazing, even though they charge you 2.5K+ for a nice rig. Ultra graphics are drool-inducing  | ||

I signed up like 3 months ago, GJ on that I had completely forgotten about it before yesterday, as had everyone else in the world. I was busy playing in a Clan War at 7pm PST last night when my match was supposed to start, the admin msg'd me at 7:15 saying " are you playing your alienware match?" which I said " no I'm playing in a CW hang on" and then I went to their website and checked in / found out my opponents ID and stuff and came back onto SC2 and tried to msg my opponent. I asked the admin what was going on and he goes "oh your opponent took a W.O vs you sorry, you can ask him to play if you want" ........... LOL I guess you guys don't want any good players in your tournament, only little diamond league players that sit there on the website checked in, don't even take the time to message their opponents on B.net ( because I was online the whole time ) and just take a freewin 1 second after the "15 minute grace period" or whatever. Thanks guys... good tournament. I had a lot of fun. What you mean to say is "My opponent was within his right to take a walkover and unwilling to reschedule the match." Also, unless you've invented a time machine it was physically impossible for you to sign up 3 months ago. This event wasn't even announced until July 19th. Which means you completely forgot about this in less than 1 month. The format and schedule was very clearly displayed on the website. We absolutely want high level players in this tournament however we can't make special exceptions or cater to certain individuals. There are hundreds of other players that had no problem playing their matches. Had you not forgotten and contacted us prior to the match we could have worked with you and your opponent to reschedule your match. It really bothers me when high level players make rude comments and completely inaccurate statements trying to make an event or organizer look bad. This is just really pathetic. | ||
