Hello everyone, I would like to announce that we are planning on hosting a monthly tournament that will (hopefully) make people play the european ladder and take it more seriously.
March will be the first month we hold this tournament and we want to use this as a test run, so don’t expect everything to be perfect and please provide feedback on things that the tournament can improve on.
EU Ladder tournament
-Monthly buy in (50euro) send money to Rifkin on paypal with acc name, players will be added to a group as well as a skype chat
-Weekly ranking which awards points, 4 or 8 players(depending on the number of sign ups) with most points at the end of the month get in the final tournament.
-Money incentive for #1 at the end of each week (2.5% of total prize pool)
-No barcodes, but smurfs are allowed.
-Points Awarded at end of each week (sunday 23.59 CET) Top 10 gets points, rank 1 gets 10 points, rank 10 gets 1 point.
-Sign up for the tournament - Start of the month(have to sign up before Friday 6 march 23:59 CET )
-If a player is caught being impolite on his account or a different account he might get points deducted
-If you decide to enter the tournament, you are only allowed to play on 1 account on the ladder, if you are found playing on another account it will be an immediate dq from tournament.
-Following a ladder reset, we will use masters ranking(points) to award that week’s winner
-If players are tied in points at the end of the month, a bo5 match between them will decide who gets invited.
-Rifkin is the admin, he sets the tournament rules and awards points at the end of the week.
Have the tournament a week within the month ending(work around players schedule)
Top 8 gets invited if 16+ people sign up, top 4 gets invited if less people sign up
You can sign up by sending 50 euros to MapControlco@gmail.com on paypal
Attach a note to it saying your username and your battle net link for example: battlenet://starcraft/profile/2/5805463210458873856

So the weekly ranking is determined by amount of ladder points?
The fact that there's a buy-in without a guarantee of making the month-end tournament may be questionable. I'd imagine you'd get more support if the buy-in was only for the tournament. I'm not sure people will want to buy in to a contest to see who gets the most ladder points, but I could be wrong.

The goal is to get people to take ladder more serious and add a competitive environment to the ladder. As we do not have a sponsor we use buy ins to generate a pricepool.
We take a screenshot of the ladder ranking each week and give points based on ranking.

Awesome idea to make the ladder a more competitive place with some stake. Good job !

Which ladder? EU is supposed to be very strong already, so I don't see the value of this unless it is an AM thing.
A version of this would be fun for similar skilled player communities.

OMG! That is so fucking awesome!!

-If you decide to enter the tournament, you are only allowed to play on 1 account on the ladder, if you are found playing on another account it will be an immediate dq from tournament.
Is this rule really necessary ? Some of us like to play on 2 different account, especially for streaming and secret practice. I would participate for sure without this rule :/

That's awesome. I hope there will be a lot of sign ups. I also like the fact that the number one in GM gets 5 percent extra no matter what. He's the number one after all yo.
