If you all make an account at RTSSanctuary, it is much easier to schedule and you don't have to hide from admins. Also, I live just down the road on University Parkway. I'd love to play. What is everyone's rating? I don't want this to be too easy

There are some fairly good players in UT, I am confident it wouldn't be too easy

Adacc... beating Onemoretry wont be easy for anybody... I swear I'm gonna have to start 6pooling him every game

But I'd definitely be up for a LAN at Versus, especially since they owe me a free day there haha.

Here's the email I received from the owner of GamerzFunk:

I talked to you a little earlier on the phone about a possible
Starcraft 2 tournament for you and your friends. This is what we can
offer your group:

Your friends can buy 5 hour blocks of game time for $10. Regular
price is $13. That is almost a 25% discount. If the tournament goes
longer than the 5 hours, you and your group of friends can of course
purchase another 5 hour block of time for $10.

Entry fee for the tournament could then be $10 per person. 100% of
this money would go to the tournament cash prize pool. 70% for 1st
place, and 30% for 2nd place.

We can structure the tournament however you want. Double Elimination
(suggested for less than 16 players) or Single Elimination (suggested
for 16 or more players). Then you can do best of One or best of
Three. If best of One is chosen, we do suggest the championship match
is best of Three.

If you have any more questions, either give me a call or reply to this e-mail!

Sounds like GamerzFunk is cheaper if you don't include a prize pool.

GamerzFunk: $10 for 5 hours + $10 for prize pool = $20
Versus Gaming: $15 for all day pass + prize included in all-day pass= $15

I'm sure we could talk to GamerzFunk and see if we could change the $10 to $5 for the prize pool. It's up to you guys!

Eh, the tournament we ran at versus gaming went extremely smoothly, and it wasn't close to being under 5 hours. That would put the tournament cost at $30 at gamerzfunk, which is too much for most people (see GEEX).

I have 8 "Play ALL Day Saturday for FREE" giftcards for Versus Gaming that I got from GEEX that I could give you guys if we decided to do it this Saturday. They expire August 16th. Everyone that went to GEEX got a bunch too. So if we can get it organized for this Saturday, thats the way to do it imo.

I'm down for any weekend this month for LAN/Tourney, I like the Versus idea because we can get a lot of people in for free and even if we do pitch in a few bucks for the tournament we wont be giving a ton out of pocket to onemoretry

I would be able to make it to Versus this Saturday but Joon has a lab final on Saturday so he wouldn't be able to make it possibly at least not until later in the day like 5pm or so. Last time we did that tourney at Versus it took like 8 hours from start to finish haha so we definitely need about that long to do the upper and lower brackets. We could probably do it faster if we write out brackets properly before playing, the guys at Versus got a little mixed up when it came to the loser brackets

There's a bunch of places to eat right around there so that wouldn't be a problem. Everybody could go in on some pizza or something of the sort, or everybody can just get their own thing

Look forward to 6pooling every single one of you guys there this weekend :D

I've had 3 responses to my email I sent out yesterday and only 8 people have confirmed that they can go here in the thread, so we might not have very many people.

I can probably make it on Saturday, but can't commit 100%. We may want to check with VG and make sure its ok before we use up all of their computers with free gaming passes on a Saturday. Just a thought...

Only 8 people? 3 responses? That's 11 people

+ I can drag 1 or 2 along with me and I know other can too. I invited my friend Andy, he said he's probably gonna come down so We've got at least 12 maybe more. Last time I think we had 18 people play in the tourney at versus, I imagine a similar situation this time. We don't need a ton of people to have fun

And BloodyWave might be right about calling VG first lol... They will make no money that day if we use free passes hahaha.

K, I called Versus and their manager is on vacation until Saturday. So, how you would you all feel if we did an unofficial tournament, just like last time, at Versus this Saturday at 2:00 p.m.? I'd suggest the following Saturday (Aug. 21) but I won't be able to make it then, so someone else would have to organize it or make sure to send out an announcement.

So, Saturday, Aug. 14 2:00 p.m. at Versus Gaming - $15 all day pass, no prizes unless someone pitches in or it is agreed on by all to pitch in some extra $.

If this is okay, I'll send out a mass email to everyone. Just thought I'd confirm it here first.

Git'r'dun! Sounds good to me. I can probably be there around 2, Joon has a lab final sometime on Saturday, so depending on when he finishes he might not make it til 4 or so.

Yep!

Here's the email I just sent to everyone, in case there are more that weren't included:

We are going to try and have another tournament this Saturday, August 14, 2010 @ 2:00 p.m. at Versus Gaming in Provo. GamerzFunk was too expensive, although the location was ideal for most everyone. Entry fee is $15 for an all-day pass at Versus. Some have mentioned that they have passes for a free day, so maybe we could divide up the total cost amongst everyone. Of course, it's up to those that have the passes. Just as a suggestion, we could use the difference in money to go towards a prize for 1st and 2nd places (80/20). Anyway, based on the thread on teamliquid.net, there's not very many people aware/interested in this, so please spread the word. I only have email addresses for those that expressed interest on teamliquid, so I'm sure there are quite a few others outside of the community that would be interested. Please forward this email to them!

Unfortunately, the owner of Versus is out of town until Saturday, so we weren't able to involve them in this tournament, yet again. Organization and rules will be completely up to all of us. Tournament style will be similar to last time: winner and loser brackets (double elimination), best of 3 until finals, which will be best of 5. Winner of winners bracket vs. winner of losers bracket. Loser bracket winner has to beat winner bracket twice. Map pool to be determined by majority vote at Versus. Loser picks map.

If you would like, we could all snag a bite to eat at 1:00 p.m. somewhere close to Versus. For those interested, show up at 1:00 and we can all decide where to go.

Please reply and let me know if you'll be able to make it. If anyone in SLC would like to meet up and carpool down, I'm cool with that. Reply back and I'll give you my phone #.

Hope to you see you all there!

If you would like to be included in the email list for tournament updates, PM me and I'll add you. Let us know if you'll be there! Thanks guys and hope to see a good turnout Saturday (Aug. 14, 2010)

Well I can definitely go. I also have like 4 others that are maybes... like 75% sure they can go but who knows. Possibly can bring more that don't have SC2 but I remember Versus saying they have like 3 or 4 SC2 accounts people can use. So I have somewhere between 1 and 6 people coming

Also OneMoreTry should be there, sounds like adacc will go, Bloodywave maybe? I don't know we will have a decent turnout I'm sure
