Prize Pool
The winner tonight is going to get (2) 15 ounce mugs.
Second place gets a (1) mug. Third place gets (1) as well.
We are also going to be auctioning off (4) mugs over the course of the evening.
All mugs will be 100% free, no shipping, no cost.
They will also be personally engraved with any 30 character or less message you want (or not, you don't have to get any wording on them if you don't want to).
Caveats:
You're going to have to give us a NA address to ship to. It's not discrimination, International shipping sucks, and these mugs are solid and heavy.
You're going to have to seriously consider taking a picture of your mug and you, even if it's just you holding it or giving a thumbs up or whatever. You don't have to, but you might feel guilty if you don't.
Here's an example of a mug you can get:

And here's a gallery of more mugs.
It gets better. You can get any custom message up to 30 symbols (maybe your BN username or a greetings to your mom) and a lot of other SC2 symbols. Wanna a Hydralisk or a DT? No problem.
Stinking, rotten bribery:
If at any point during the evening, we get either 200 concurrent viewers or 200 channel subscriptions, we will be launching a mug-prized Bronze-Silver-Gold (BSG) for NA on Wednesday, and every Wednesday.
Truly odious and reprehensible bribery:
If at any point during the evening we get 500 concurrent viewers or 500 subscriptions, we will also raffle off two sets of shot glasses pictured in the very last series of panels here: here
All mug and potential shot glass winners will be of any design the player chooses. However, etching words is only available on Mugs. Sorry.
Tournament Rules
1. Match Beginning – After the tournament begins, players may continue playing rounds as the bracket updates. If your opponent does not show or is unresponsive, please report him to an admin and wait for 15 minutes. If he fails to response after this period of time, he will then be disqualified.
2. Observers – Other players may observe tournament games provided both participants allow it. If lag issues arise, all observers must leave the game. Staff Members or Casting Partners of SCV Rush may observe any match at any time.
3. Replays - All replays must be saved by both players for possible future investigation. Failure to comply the first time will result in a warning. A second failure will result in disqualification.
4. Disconnects - If a player disconnects within the first 5 minutes, the game will be restarted. After 5 minutes, the disconnected player forfeits the game. If there are any objections to this rule (a player was the decided victor before 5 minutes, for example) players may contact a tournament admin, who will review the replay and determine whether a regame will be played. However, this exception may be applied only once during a round.
5. Stalemates - In the event of a stalemate, the game will be replayed. The full in-game stalemate timer must elapse before players may start a regame.
6. Manner – In-game chat should be limited to the initial good luck, and then good game, expressions. Any communication containing hateful, racial, sexual or otherwise offending content will result in a warning; failure to rectify the bad manner will then result in disqualification. The tournament admins reserve the right to judge what is offensive and what is not.
7. Stream Cheating, Hacking, Illegal Advantages - Players may stream their games if they wish. However, any player abusing an illegal advantage over his opponent will be instantly disqualified from the current event and banned from two future SCV Rush events. The tournament admins reserve the right to decide what determines this illegal practice.
Miscellaneous
- Random matches throughout the tournament, as well as the finals, will be casted on our stream.
