Starcraft Against Diseases presents...
Vancouver S.A.D. SC2 Charity LAN Tournament
*****RESULTS*****
Hey everyone,
I want to thank everybody for showing up yesterday! I think the tournament turned out really well and I want to give SPECIAL THANKS to GoatRope, CheAse, Cedstick, ChToniC and Chris from DNA Cafe for their great support for the tournament; you guys really made the tournament a lot better than I expected.
The tournament went on for a LOT longer than I expected (5+ hours longer....) I can't believe it lol. Rope and CheAse must have crazy soar necks right now; I cant thank you enough for dedicating 15 hours of your time casting games non-stop. Also, big thanks to Chris from DNA for giving us a huge discount on the venue fees.
We only had about 44 players show up (including a few backups) rather than 64, but I think it worked out in the end because if everyone showed up we probably wouldn't have finished by.... 3am? lol. I really want to post the brackets but since the brackets were pretty messed up due to missing players there were quite a few byes I'll just post the top results (I'll try to be more organized next time around.. sorry about this).
Total Pool: $1020
Donation to Charity: $300 + ($5 extra Donation from someone, sorry for forgetting your name!) = $305 (still talking with Stalife where it's going)
Prize Pool: $720
1st Prize: $360 Stalife
2nd Prize: $180 Neans
3rd Prize: $110 KawaiiRice
4th Prize: $70 FireZerg
5th: SCanenome, badguy
7th: AlphaIIOmega, TooFresh
9th: Kira, Ice, BaBy, Chronopolis
I hope you guys enjoyed the stream from Rope and hopefully we have some podcasts of the event soon.
Although I was quite exhausted at the end, I had tons of fun meeting everyone there and really enjoyed all the games that I was watching. I hope you guys had fun as well, and hopefully show up again when we host S.A.D. #2! Thanks everyone for supporting a good cause, the local scene and SC2 in general.

*****UPDATE4*****
http://challonge.com/tournament/bracket_generator?ref=FDBXRHPBWC
Bracket has been created. I don't know if anyone is still around reading this, but this bracket was generated using ELO for top/bottom 8, and random for the rest. See you guys all tomorrow!
*****UPDATE3***** Bracket has been removed as I am expecting a lot of changes on the day of the tournament. Sorry for making things so confusing but I'm just doing it so that everyone is happy about the whole process and to make it fair as possible. So here is another poll suggested by Stalife:
Poll: Seed top/bottom 8 according to ELO and randomize the rest?
Yes, randomize the rest. (28)
70%
No, seed according to ELO for all. (12)
30%
40 total votes
No, seed according to ELO for all. (12)
40 total votes
Your vote: Seed top/bottom 8 according to ELO and randomize the rest?
(Vote): Yes, randomize the rest.
(Vote): No, seed according to ELO for all.
So this poll will run to Oct 8th, and I will generate the actual bracket on the 9th after checking in the players.

*****UPDATE2***** Some people have been suggesting that we seed the brackets according to ELO points. An example of this is found HERE. Basically, the highest ELO would be seeded with lowest ELO, 2nd highest EL with 2nd lowest ELO etc. The other alternative would be to randomize the seeding. Let me know what you guys think by voting below!
****UPDATE**** Venue has changed to DNA internet cafe in Richmond for reasons such as venue fee, space and Time constraints. Prize pool will get bigger as well as the donation amount! Also, the tournament won't be as long since we will have more computers. Also, date is now set to be October 9th, 2010.
WHEN
It is going to be on Oct 9th
Check In: Starts at 10:00AM until 10:45AM at DNA Internet Cafe. Please don't be late! If you have not checked-in by 10:45AM, backup players will take your place and you will be DQed from the tournament. Tournaments will begin at 11:00AM and should be over before 6:00PM (Should be 6~7 hours long)
