Rules:
Standard Rules for all phases of the event:
Race is chosen BEFORE the Event starts and you play the whole event with that race.

MLG Tal’darim Altar
MLG Testbug
MLG Typhon Peaks

Additional Rules and Set Up for AM Pool/Bracket:
All players below Master Level are put into this event.
If 17+ players we will run Pools dividing everyone up into as equal as possible groups and play Round Robins. How many players advance will be determined by the number of pools and how many players are in the Master+ Bracket.
Pool Play will be 2 Games (not best of 3) with scoring as 0-2, 1-1, 2-0
Map Striking will be used to determine 1st Map, with loser of the first game picking the 2nd map.
If 16 or less players we will use a Double Elimination Bracket
Best 2 out of 3 for the entire bracket.
If we run a bracket for AM, we will only run it far enough to get to the Top 8 and not play it out.
Seeding will be determined by League with some randomization.
NOTE: Adjustments to either Pool or Bracket could be made as a Day Of decision based on time, computers, attendance, etc. So the >16, <17 rule is simply a guideline.
Additional Rules and Set Up for the Master+ Bracket:
All players of Master League and above will be put into this event.
Master+ Players are "encouraged" to show up for the entire event though to help with coaching if possible and/or do commentary and interviews for the Live Stream (plus sponsors will be there earlier in the day not later so get your free NOS during the AM Bracket haha).
To be determined on an event by event basis, we will also include the winners of the AM Event in this.
Double Elimination Bracket
Best 2 out of 3, Grand Finals Best 3 out of 5
Seeding will be based on Top 8 from previous event seeding 1-8, the balance of the Master+ players seeded randomly and then the AM Winners seeded last in order of their win/loss in the AM event as possible.
Map Selection: A default/starter map will be established for each bracket round and used for the 1st Match in a set.
Loser of a match picks the next map from the available Map Pool.
Other Rules:
Players may not have a stream of the game in the background.
Any sign of cheating may result in a Forfeit of the Game or disqualification from the Event.
No Map may be played more than once in the same Set.
Players who are disqualified prior to the start of a Game will not be allowed to play in the Game. Players who are disqualified during a Game must quit out of the Game.
No Spectators or Observers allowed in game.
Live Stream will be provided at: http://www.justin.tv/edwardstarcraft
Sponsors:
Plantronics - We will raffle off 2 or 3 headsets
SteelSeries - In talks with them now
NOS - They say they are coming this time hah
PEOPLE ARE ENCOURAGED to bring their own Computers. We will have room to set up about 10 PCs for people, in addition to our own 20 Comps (10 of which will be 100% tournament dedicated and the other 10 there for as needed use)
BYOComputer Reserve List:
1: Picnic
2: memcopy

We have room for 15ish comps, but I will only reserve the first 10 after that its first come first serve.

Something needs to be done about edwards speakers imo it was really obvious my opponent could hear. edward was like and here are the mutas coming to so and sos base and all of a sudden 5 turrets go up... I won the game so it was fine but still it's a definite problem.
Other than that great tourney I'm loving the am pm bracket set up. And for everyone who isn't diamond or plat I played a silver player in the semi finals of am bracket. He made top 8. You can as well.
My name and code are in my sig add me I'd like to play games with people from the tourney.

i second the notion of fixing edwards speakers. unless u have music playing and the in game sounds up fairly high you can hear the casting.
|
Sign me up for BYOC. And another free case of NOS. Also, yeah, Ed's speakers.
==Edit==
Are there still going to be AM prizes?
|
What's the prize pool usually for this? For the masters and above league.

Edward's Speakers: So Edward and I talked for a while after the event about this. We are going to try and place him where I have the Wii sign on the wall (so in the area that we had no BYOC set up and all the TVs stacked)
That way there is some what of a barrier from the GameClucks PC area, however this still exposes the BYOC area to it, nothing we can really do about that...
We will work on turning the sound down also
AM prizes - Depends if sponsors give anything up. Likely we wont though, because the plan is run the AM Bracket just far enough to establish who moves on to Pro Bracket, so unless a sponsor gives me something that I can get 8-10 of them and is not so good that it needs to be kept for Pro bracket, then maybe.
The other side of this, is I will try and distribute more stuff deeper down the Pro Bracket as well.
3rd Place in pro was $30 last time, a GameCon777 headset is about $35-$40, so maybe 3rd picks Headset or cash, 4th gets what ever 3rd doesnt take, and then maybe the the BackBeat that 3rd got last event goes to 5th or something...
Not sure, all depends on what Sponsors give up and how many people show up.
(will add BYOC ppl above this post in a bit)

@MayanSc2
Depends how many show. Usually have 30-35 people showing so cash prize pool is about $300-$350. We have had 48 at the event before also... so almost $500 that time.
Plus some swag from sponsors when possible.
So event last weekend, 1st was $160 Cash + GameCon 777 headset + Steel Series QcK pad (so all in all about $220ish in prizes?)
|
Except me to be able to come this time!
|
Maybe we can place Edward in a private closed door studio called the "bathroom".

I will be raffling off 2-3 of the Plantronics GameCom777 head sets at this event again.
SteelSeries, I think, is sending some stuff again also.
