Make sure you followed these steps:

2. On the tournament info page near the bottom, hit "Sign Up"
3. Where it says "Gameaccount" it's probably red, meaning you don't have an account attached yet, so hit "click here to add"
4. Make sure Type is: Starcraft II Name.Character code (Battle.net US) and the value is: Username.Character code (example: Puremiss.123)
5. Everything else can be blank for now, then you should be able to sign up for the tournament, if not try later.
