Ok everyone here's the deal we have 34 computers and 6-9 laptop stations at the lan center and we have it all reserved (the whole place will be ours!)

I'm not turning anyone away or doing online qualifiers but since it's looking like we will have well over 34 people there will be a group stage schedule made for lan day. You'll be randomly placed into one of 8 groups (rofl) and 4 groups will be played for 2-3 hours then the second 4 groups will be played for 2-3 hours. You'll know well in advance which group you're in and what time you will be playing so you can plan accordingly when to show up. (of course if ur nerdy as me you'll show up to watch the other group play too)

After the groups are done the final bracket will be played immediately.

I'll keep everyone posted and have a rules document up when I get the chance. Also the LAN center will be opening an hour early for us at 11am so that'll be around a time I want to get started since this lan is going to be so huge.

I allow on average an hour for a bo3. If groups finish by 3pm we should be straight to finish by 6-7pm which is when we normally finish.

that's if we go to Il Mee on lan day. No reason why we cant do a little research and maybe go somewhere closer that's within a minute or two (or walking distance) of the lan center.

haven't thought about dinner whatsoever yet there's been so much else to do for this so far.

Il Mee is cool and all, but besides the fact that I'm broke and can't afford the weekly dinners, it is kind of cramped and half the time there's no water to be found, when I'm there anyway. Also, while I always tip anyway, I don't quite understand the concept of tipping at a buffet where you get and cook your own food. Maybe that's just me though.

I'd be willing to try somewhere new and within walking distance. Il Mee is only ~15 minutes away from the LAN center though so it doesn't really really matter.

Also, I really need to play more

Was diamond in beta but havent even played enough gets to get promoted out of platinum yet. This school quarter is kicking my ass- even though I have free time, I just feel like sleeping during it instead o.O. Also nerf terran lol imba etc etc obligatory excuses to not ladder.

Shoot im cool with the schedule I will just bring two packs of cigs and wait for my first match or my second. O yeah forgot to ask this question is it best of 3 when you mean single elimination or just one round and win for the SC2 o hell it doesnt matter I'm still going.

everything is a best of three. Single elimination means you lose in the bracket once and your out. But it starts as a group stage so you can lose games in the group and still go on to win.

We just had our 40th signup. wowowow.

Orb might not come

I have questioned him about it a few times and he keeps suggesting that he's not going to show. One of you who has known him for 500 years, is cooler than me and knows where he lives should convince him or kidnap him and make him come!

fufufufufu I need to play more. I feel like I know so much about the game because I watch more than some of you guys probably even play, but I need to start playing so that my hands will cooperate

Also, obligatory "terrans op" comment, being a zerg player.

In 2 weeks I'll be closing registration and randomly generating the groups.

It's very important if you're in one of the first four groups that you show up on time at 11am on LAN day. Due to the size of this tournament there can be no big delays, if your 15-30 minutes late without contacting me beforehand you will get w.o'd. I'll be sending my contact info around via PM in 2 weeks so if your TL name isn't on the confirmed or tentative list you won't get the PM.

I know it's harsh but we're gonna have 40+ people with 2 separate group starting times so it'll be very important to stay on schedule. I promise I'll have the rules packet up in the original post with times/schedule tomorrow.
