We're hosting another Tournament at Game Pazzo, we have all of the networking issues with Blizzard worked out this time, so we should be in much better shape.
This event will start at 1PM!!! Setup begins at 11AM. You will be penalized $10 for arriving after 12 NOON for setup, as we need adaquate time to make sure everyone has a working spot, and to get the brackets situated.
This tournament will have a MAX of 32 players. You must RSVP by enrolling on http://tinyurl.com/chicagofeblan.
IF FOR ANY REASON YOU DECIDE YOU CANNOT MAKE IT, YOU MUST CANCEL 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE BY EMAILING support@starcraftChicago.com. If you no-show without cancelling we will penalize you by fining you $20 before you're able to enter a future tournament of ours. This is to make sure we fill all 32 seats to give everyone a chance.
If we do not have all 32 players enrolled by the event, we will accept walk-ins, however there will be an additional penalty of $10 for not enrolling ahead of time. Enrollment is what helps us plan these well.
There will be an entry fee to this event of $15. The prize pool will be at least $200. We would love to be able to do another free tournament (and we may still have another in the future) but we currently have some expenses we want to try to take care of (networking equipment, xsplit subscription, etc.)
We will also be putting $$ towards a larger end-of-the-year event, we're shooting for a $1,500 tournament.
There will be 8 rental computers available. Rental rates are $18 for the day, or $7/hr. There will be a separate event listed for that which you should enrol to separately if you want to rent a computer. If you don't rent a computer you will be expected to bring your own.
If you BYOC you are expected to bring your own network cable (Between 6 and 10 feet) and a power strip. If you forget these we can rent them at $10 each. Overpriced? Yeah, but we're not in the business of supplying cables, so just bring your own and it'll help everything flow smoothly.
Barcraft will be held in the bar area, all ages are allowed. Those over 21 will be given a wristband.
