Tempting... in philly right now for school but might be going home that weekend anyway. Not too far either :<
|
i will be down there win any and all money i can because i am broke

I don't know about BO1 though... There will be too little lee way to earn yourself out of a bad loss / cheese / most games will be cheese / rush. I think BO3 is in order to have a real solid tournament going.

I think you should implement some custom maps into play. I mean, there are some BW ports that my fare better than the current Map Pool. For example, there are some ports for Destination, Fighting Spirt, etc. Those maps were good for play.

From what Certified and I have tried of the iCCup map pool, I can't say that I've liked any of them in particular. Many of the maps have way too much random high ground or empty area around the main that air units can exploit like crazy (think scrap station style). Destination wasn't so bad, but I doubt that people would be happy playing on a map that they aren't familiar with (in SC2 at least).
Of course, this idea shouldn't be forever scrapped. We could have an iCCup map tournament in the future if they fix half of their maps.
In other news, the next tournament will probably have a poll for the maps to be included in the map pool.

This is pretty much the idea behind all non-invite tournaments. While BO3 would be the best idea for round 1, it doesn't fit the time budget. We had 19 people last time and played in the same format; the tournament ran from 2 to 7PM. People aren't really willing to stay 7, especially when they have to travel a good distance to get home (because they are awesome and decided to come anyways :D).

Is there a cash prize for this tournament or just recognition?

Only recognition for now. Last time, the winner was reimbursed for their netcafe account. I could probably provide that this time around too. So there's technically a cash prize, but it makes you break even.

We did wait for people to finish playing each round and for the ro4 we waited for each player to play. If we are really want to do it fast just let everyone play through till the ro4 or the finals instead of waiting for everyone to finish each round.
