EDIT: Gonna cut off registration for the tournament very soon. I want 48 players for the tournament. I have 46 so far.

To tournament participants: DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE UR ADDED HERE: http://binarybeast.com/xSC21008302

if u don't find ur name.identifier PM me and I'll add u. Due to the size of this it's easy for me to overlook a PM or miss something.

also remember this lan will be split into 2 parts basically. 24 people will play the early groups, then the next 25 play the later groups (3 or so hours later) then the bracket stage starts in the afternoon.

With the number of people presumably going to the LAN and given that it's as close to the metro as people say it is I'm sure we can get some people to drop-off/pick-up anyone who needs transport from the station

Walkovers or replacements. I don't expect there to be many though. This is an LF sanctioned LAN not a nooby nnilf lan.

I'm just about done with the rules and maps, schedule and tournament format. I'll post in here when I'm done and link it in the original post.

K. Rules/Maps are in the OP.

One thing that should be noted is I'm predetermining the bracket stage, since nnilf's fail lan generated a random bracket after group play (and caused some controversy) this time group winners will be guaranteed to play a #2 in the ro16. Also you will be in a separate bracket than your group winner so there won't be any rematches in the bracket stage until possibly the finals which is unlikely.

Up to 47 in the tournament! Generating groups as soon as I get 48. There are a couple guys in the tournament that I'm not 100% sure if they are playing or not (haven't sent out confirmation PM's yet) So there will probably be some replacement room but we're nearing capacity now.

6 man groups will be PERFECT. 3 1v1's at once, nobody stuck waiting around... and it guarantees the worst player in the universe still gets 5 tournament matches!

Now I see deva is coming too the guy played against orb on blistering sands this should be a very good tourny. Deva is no joke but I hope he is also going as zerg and running his roach build.

. BTW is there any way I can help out except for paying the fee and just being there and watch the games? Like assist with the tournament etc. Well anyways.

K this LAN is sold out...MLG style! Only people that will be added from now on will be people I missed/forgot to add or replacements.

I'll be running the tournament along with Torenhire basically so we're pretty good in that regard.

If anyone wants to do a scouting mission for possible dinner locations that would be ridiculously helpful for me. Locations along Lee Hwy there or near the Vienna metro stop (within a mile of the lan center) are what we would be shooting for. I haven't had time to search as much as I'd like or get over there. Don't know if anyone lives right there or knows the area super well. I live on the other side of Fairfax lol.

Backup plan is Il Mee after but that's like an 8 minute drive and we go there ALL the time as it is.

Only 9 days! Can't wait.

LF, should we be bringing $20 at the door or is there any kind of paypal or something we can sign up with before? I never carry cash, just my debit, so I gotta know whether I need to stop by an ATM or what.
