I am running this in conjunction with chromate, who organizes the Toronto GSL finals in a theater parties.
I am using chromate's rules. They are as follows:
THE RULES:
- All rounds are best of 3 matches, single elimination.
- Finals will be played live at Eudemonia
- Winner of our local online tournament will play the winner of the Toronto tournament live at Eudemonia. FIGHT FOR YOUR CHANCE TO REPRESENT NORTHERN CALIFORNIA!!!
MAP POOL:
Metaopolis
Scrap Station
Lost Temple
Sharkuras Plateau
Jungle Basin
Delta Quadrant
Xel Naga Caverns
Both players should agree on the first map. The loser of the game will pick the map of the next match.
If players do not agree on the first map, each player will pick two maps to remove from the map pool. The remaining maps will be played from top to bottom. Players will pick maps to remove in succession, the player seeded closest to the top picks first.
ADMINISTRATIVE STUFF
- After each match the results should be put in to http://binarybeast.com/xSC21101250/ by the winner. Don't forget to mention if it was a 2-1 or a 2-0. Winner also uploads the replays (mandatory).
- If I do not receive any message from either player depending on the time frame, you may be kicked from the tourney.
- Try to contact the other player ASAP to agree on a match time. If you have trouble with this at all, message me.

It's very close to the Downtown Berkeley BART. Walking directions here. The last BART in to Berkeley on Friday nights is ~12:50am. The first BART out on Saturday mornings is at 6:08am.
Only street parking is available, but it's free after 6pm, and there should be ample space by evening all over downtown Berkeley. They don't start checking the meters on Saturdays until after 9am.
When:
Friday, Jan 29, 2010
--GSL 4 final show starts at 10pm
--OSL final starts at ~1 or ~2am that night. moletrap will be here to commentate live for us!!! In real life!!!
Cost:
- $10 to get in at 10pm. (If you show up after 1am, it's $5 to get in)
- OR... $20 to get in at 10pm + 2 fridge drinks + midnight snack (of pizza)
- OR... $25 for all that plus a computer pass starting from 10pm and going until... 8am I think
Why I think that GSL 4 Finals are at 10pm our time:

More pictures from the Eudemonia GSL3 party here. Big thanks to bigLUCC for the awesome pics =D

Old GSL2 event link.
Other notes and miscellany:
- I'll do a KOTH before the event again. It will be better organized, and people who paid and didn't get to play last time get free entry this time, of course.
- Pizza's meant to be a midnight snack to help get everyone through the night, not necessarily a full meal (if it were a full meal, we'd have to get more and charge everyone more $ and stuff).
- This time is a little more expensive because we have to close the store earlier (and kick out regulars who usually game)
- Eudemonia is a PC gaming center/internet cafe/LAN center with ~30 computers and 5 xboxes. We are also a Magic singles store + tourney center (the pre-release is the day after the OSL/GSL event, haha) and retail board game store. =) So you don't need to bring your own computer to play. We don't have any BYOC plans set up, but if you really want to, send me a PM and I'll talk to the manager and we'll see if we can work something out.
- For OSL, what we're HOPING for is this: we'll get a restream (probably from TL.net), and have moletrap add live english commentary in the store and RESTREAM THE RESTREAM so that his commentary can be enjoyed by Teh Intarnetz too.
