You can schedule your match ahead of time, there just needs to be a WT member obs'ing the game. Check the new WT post http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=193997 for more information

So you should definitely cancel whatever youre doing and come to this! You should also tell as many people as you can about coming
If we get a large turn out, WMU will be more willing to help us host another one!

Games will be starting soon!

So are we still gonna use the original map pool that was posted? I understand the tournament was organized months ago, but most of those maps are outdated and suck. Nobody is even practicing on them anymore.

Although the maps were updated on the ladder system, we will not be changing the map pool.

So wait. I understand the official blizzard pool has changed recently, but...
I don't quite agree with organizing a tournament, then changing the map pool a mere 3-4 days before games are being played, especially when some of the games have already been played.
That just seems very, very, very wrong to me, and although it doesn't really affect me personally, it's unfair to those who have already played their games, or have been practicing on the maps which were announced quite some time ago.

Yeah, but it's also unfair to make Zerg players play on Steppes, Jungle Basin, LT to an extent, etc. Most of these maps have blatant racial advantages and disadvantages (PvT 4 gate on Blistering Sands anyone.)
The fact that desert oasis is included is more than enough reason to warrant a change in maps.
And it wouldn't be like they'd be getting rid of Metalopolis, Scrap Station, or Xel'Naga. Most of the good maps would be staying.

I'm sorry Mikilatov, this action was done without careful consideration and has been changed back. We will be using the original map pool.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait wait wait wait wait. I don't think you carefully considered that long enough. I need to have you talk to IcCupDiamond or something. You cannot honestly tell me we will be having a $2,000 tournament in March in which we will be playing on STEPPES OF WAR, JUNGLE BASIN, and BLISTERING SANDS. These maps were long ago proven not only to be imbalanced, but also catered to terrible games. I'm sorry, but that's just a joke and honestly would be embarrassing for you guys. Please reconsider.
Also, think about how unfair it is to those of us who play consistently on the ladder. Jungle basin, Shakuras Plateau, Blistering Sand, Steppes of War have already all been removed from the ladder map pool, meaning most of us no longer practice on them. Now you're telling me I have to make customs and find people willing to practice these bad maps just because you guys refuse to change your pool?
It would be one thing if you kept the original map pool, except for say the most ridiculous maps, most of which everyone agrees should not be played (Steppes, Jungle, Blistering, maybe even Delta), and kept in LT, Metal, Scrap, Xel'Naga. But to have us playing on all those maps....jesus. Just no.

Hey Guys Beef here,
I understand your complaint luzzuma and I think the best course of action will have to be a Poll, we'll set one up on the www.wtr1be.com website for the players to come and vote their opinions. So please spread the message and make sure you've registered to our forum so we can have you vote. Thank you for the inquiry!
We apologize for the inconvenience however the timing of this tournament is awkward with the recent release of the new maps. (it's literally just been days) But if the majority of players are willing to toss the old ones out we'll cater to their demands. Majority however will have to rule so let's make sure we get a good turn out of poll contributors.

Let me repshrase this, these old Blizzard maps are bad and you should look at the changing them in the spirit of fair competition. This is such an awesome tournament lets not let maps slow it down from being the best event in MI history!
