Eligibility:
In order to be eligible for the prizes in this tournament you must (1) have a North American Battle.net account and (2) reside in the continental United States / Canada*. I am shipping these keyboards from my house and unfortunately we just cannot afford to ship these globally. However, if you do live outside of the United States/Canada, you can still receive the prize, but we would ask you to pay for the shipping costs.
All players are welcome to participate, though players with higher league standings will be preferred.
You can sign up for the tournament at z33k.com's webpage.

Again, players who wish to be eligible for the prize must have a shipping address in the Continental United States and Canada. Anyone outside of this region can still be eligible for the prizes; however, they would be responsible for covering shipping costs.
All participants in the tournament must check in for the tournament 20 minutes prior to the start of the event. Anyone who misses the check-out will be replaced by a player from the reserve list. If there are special circumstances, please send me a PM.
All matches will be played right after each other. If a player has reported, they have 10 minutes to start the next match. No observers except casters will be allowed for the match games. If the caster requests to stream a match, the game must not start until the casters are ready and in as spectators.
