If you have me on MSN, that is also fine as I will be logged in all day.
For round 2 on Coulee, please take a screenshot of the victory screen (and save the replay anyway). This will only be required to be submitted if there is any dispute
Several replays are missing from the first tournament, I will find out which exactly later.

Just a quick piece of info for those playing:
+ Show Spoiler +
Brackets will be created at the scene (as with random teams, you can not make brackets until you know who shows up). If there is an uneven amount of teams, Byes will be given.
If there are 48 players or less (but more than 32), then the RMA and 2cp2 rounds will change places, and the overall format will be 3v3 instead of 4v4. The finals are then a 3 player FFA.
If there are 32 players or less, one round will be cut (likely RMA, but the players left at that point will have their say). The overall format will remain 4v4, however. Finals remain 4 man FFA.
Note:
I sent out PMs to everyone playing in Tour 2 - IF you do not see yourself on the Tour 2 list in the first post (or in any other tour that you can play), or if you do see yourself there but haven't seen a PM, contact me as there has most likely been a mix-up somewhere.
Note also that there was one disconnect in the first round of the tournament, and the decision was made to give the non-disconnected team the win. Upon further review however, I've decided that it's a bit too close a call, and as such players GoShox, Achim and ChessWhiz will be allowed to enter a second tournament (if for some reason the PMs I sent you did not get through, contact me).
For everyone playing:
The channel for Tour 2 is "Ironman Tour-2" on ICCUP (without the citation marks).

I have double checked this so it SHOULD be right.
If we get 32 people for a tour, we will cut the Random Micro Arena round. If we get 48 players, we will play 3v3 instead of 4v4.
If we get somewhere inbetween (ie 38 players), some players will have to be cut, but will then be first in line as reserves for any of the other tours. Yes, this sucks (honestly, it would really, really, really suck) but I don't see another solution..

UPDATE
I was trying to fall asleep when something hit me tho, and I had to get back up.
It's totally my fault for not realizing this could be a problem until this very moment :/ I went by the calendar when making the dates, and was thus completely thinking in "TL Time", but I'm almost sure more than 1 of you (understandably) will have gotten the dates wrong because of this.
So, to be 100% clear:
I was trying to fall asleep when something hit me tho, and I had to get back up. The dates:
Tour 1 - Thursday July 16th 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET, 2 PM EST)
Tour 2 - Friday July 17th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET, 6PM EST)
Tour 3 - Saturday July 18th - 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET, 2 PM EST)
Tour 4 - Sunday July 19th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET, 6PM EST)
I just realized that a lot of people are not going to realize that July 16th 3:00 AM KST = July 15th 8 PM CET / 2PM EST. When making the dates I obviously went by the Teamliquid Calendar, but I'm 100% sure more than 1 person is going to have gotten this wrong (I hate timezones, I hate timezones, I hate timezones, I hate timezones).
So:
Tour 1 - Thursday July 16th 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET Wednesday July 15th, 2 PM EST Wednesday July 15th)
Tour 2 - Friday July 17th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET Note that this is technically on Friday July 17th, but it's at midnight Thursday->Friday, 6PM EST Thursday July 16th)
Tour 3 - Saturday July 18th 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET Friday July 17th, 2 PM EST Friday July 17th)
Tour 4 - Sunday July 19th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET Note that this is technically on Sunday July 19th, but it's at midnight Saturday->Sunday, 6PM EST Saturday July 18th)
If you need to change your dates because of this, please let me know ASAP.
[HR]
If we don't make 64 players per tournament, we will be running 48 or 32 man versions. At 48, it will be 3v3 instead of 4v4, at 32 we will cut the Random Micro Arena round, but otherwise it will work the same.[/blue]
I'm remaking the thread here, as it's about to get bumped out of the front page - easier to keep track of questions this way. Still a decent number of spots left for those who asked.
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/alffla/BetaKeyBanner.jpg)
It took us a while longer than we'd have liked to sort all the details out, but as of this writing the signed license should be on its way back to Blizzard HQ
So without further ado, re-introducing the...
Starcraft Ironman
Want a shot at a beta key but find your cooking lacking? Writing not your forte? Fear not, the Starcraft Ironman is here; prove your Starcraft know-how in a 5 discipline SC tournament!
When?
There will be four tournaments spread out over 1 week as follows:

NOTE: You are only allowed to sign up for one (1) tournament!
Where?
On ICCUP. The exact channel will be announced closer to the tournament date.
How?
Throughout the next week we will be running four 64-man tournaments, each culminating in a FFA final to be broadcasted right here on Teamliquid!
The structure and details are as follows:
Prizes:
The winner of each tournament will get TWO Starcraft II Beta Keys, for a grand total of 8 keys to be given away in this way.
Maps
Ro64 - Neo Abattoir - Random Team 4v4
+ Show Spoiler [Map Information] +
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/FrozenArbiter/SC2BetaKeyTour/8Neo_Abattoirscx.jpg)
A 64x64 version of the map Abattoir (aptly named Neo Abattoir), created specifically for this tournament. Blood Bath on crack.
Some notes about the map:
- Placing a building in the colored choke is a perfect wall with units spawning on the safe side.
- Every base has one mineral patch that is exposed to another base. This mineral is separate so that good players can redirect workers away from cannons / sunkens / etc.
- The terrain in between bases is high ground. This means you will need something to grant vision if you want to cannon your opponent's mineral patch.
Players will be randomly teamed up and square off in a 4v4.
Game Mode: Top vs Bottom
Ro32 - Coulee - Random Team Capture The Flag
+ Show Spoiler [Map Information] +
![[image loading]](/staff/FrozenArbiter/SC2BetaKeyTour/2Couleen.jpg)
For Round 2 we have both an unusual gametype as well as an unusual map. Created by TL member Mora, aka Teroru, back in 2005, it was used for that years Blizzcon Invitational.
Team Capture the Flag is a sadly under-played game mode which functions like a regular Team Melee game (that is, several players control one player), but with the added twist of a flag..
Capturing the opposing teams flag will result in a win, just as if you had eliminated them.
Game Mode: Team Capture the Flag
Note:Each team will have to pick 1 of each race - that is P T R Z. Which one is your main race (which determines what building you start with) is up to each team to decide.
Ro16 - Random Micro Arena
+ Show Spoiler [Map Information] +
Random Micro Arena is a team based UMS, more similiar to Tournament Control than - as the name would suggest - the more traditional Team Micro Arena.
Players are given a random set of units every round (activated by morphing your high templars), and do battle vs the opposing team. Only one player is active at any given time, but once per round (of which there are 8), you may elect to "tag" in one of your team mates.
Should you not tag, your team mate will replace you once you die - until there's only one player left standing, winning the round.
Game Mode: Use Map Settings
Ro8 - 2c2p v 2c2p - Sin City
+ Show Spoiler [Map Information] +
![[image loading]](/staff/FrozenArbiter/SC2BetaKeyTour/8Sin_CityNscx.jpg)
Sin City is an interesting but fairly standard map, created by Peatza[Ag] on Broodwarmaps.net, so let's jump right to the game-type: 2c2p v 2c2p.
You may be asking yourself just what the hell this is, and I don't blame you. Not many people regularly play 4v4s with computer allies
Teams of 2 players and 2 computers will face off against eachother, with the winners advancing to the FFA finals.
Important Note:
Players are NOT allowed to abuse the computer A.I by attacking one of their workers or buildings with their scouting peon (causes all A.I workers to chase said peon). If you should happen to do so by accident, you MUST leave your peon to its fate, unless it is your last peon (and you have no means of replacing it).
Secondly, while players are free to set their own race, as well as that of their computer allies, you cannot have more than 2 of each race on a team. PPTT is fine, PPPT is not. PTZZ, also fine etc.
Game Mode: Top vs Bottom

![[image loading]](/staff/FrozenArbiter/SC2BetaKeyTour/4FUnreal.jpg)
Having made it this far, it's time for some regular FFA.. on a couple of mind-twistingly beautiful maps.
Both maps are made by Freakling from http://www.broodwarmaps.net , and not surprisingly they both won Map of the Month awards. If you want to leave him a comment on the maps you can do so here:
Mystique
Unreality
Mystique will be the FFA map for Tour 1 and Tour 4.
Unreality will be the FFA map for Tour 2 and Tour 3.
The winning player will recieve 2 beta keys, one for him-or herself, and one for a person of their choosing.
Players should use the Observer version of the maps (O), and one referee will be present as an observer.
