FORMAT CHANGE : (This is NOW finalized as of 20th November))
Final Format Change :
Starting time has been changed to 10am so the players will need to check-in by 9:30am.
We have allocated more than 16 computers, we will have either 24 or 32 computers. These additional computers are to be set on a lower resolution than the maximum resolution (1920*1080 -> 1680*1050 and some screens will be 1440*900). If players want to change the settings on these computers (will be high texture and everything else on low on these computers), they will be the sole risk taker.
BO3 Double Elimination BUT losers brackets will be BO1. The grand finals will be BO3 * 2.
Please PM me or email me kyungjunim@gmail.com if you have any further questions. I will text everyone who registered tomorrow to make sure if they still want to participate with these changes.
Please check-in by 9:30am, everything else stays the same! Please make sure you bring your own mouse and mousepad at least.
I will be sending a confirmation text to everyone on 21st to see if all 34 players who are registered can make it. If anyone pulls out then I will text people on the waiting list!
As I said before, there will be a few commentators who will be running a stream and this will be shown on 52' TV in the small viewing room (it may be very small depending on how many people will show up to spectate)
IMPORTANT UPDATE :
The registration is now closed as there are more than expected registered participants. However, you can still register yourself in the waiting list. I will be texting everyone on 22nd November to confirm their participation and if someone pulls out or cannot make it anymore, I will put people in the waiting in the order.
This will be really important to figure out how many people are actually coming to specate!
I have just created a Facebook event page and it would be great if you help me to figure out the number of spectators. The place is not so big so if there are too many people I would need to RSVP sadly. (Hopefully not)
UPDATE 2 :
There will be a viewing room with 52' TV on the day, so people can spectate. However the room is not so big and depending on the numbers, we might not be able to provide enough chairs or get rid of couches.. I will provide more update on this later
UPDATE 3 :
There will be chips, a bag of popcorn and drinks for sale. Food from outside is welcome but please do not litter them. Otherwise I have to clean them up (LOL TRUE STORY)
Date: Saturday, 24th November 2012. The tournament will start at 10am.
Location: Internet City, Level 1/93 Albert St, Brisbane CBD
Entry fee: $15

Each player will veto one map from the map pool and then flip a coin/rock paper scissor/decide amongst themselves for first map choice. Loser of each game picks the next map.

Other information
Players will be allowed to bring their own equipment (mouse, mousepad, keyboard, headset etc). While some computers are more than capable of running SC2 with the highest settings, we recommend using medium options to prevent any unfortunate events.
There will be at least 14-16 PCs dedicated to running the tournament, players will need to report their results immediately once they are finished and they will be told to either pack up for someone else to use the PC or to stay to play another game. We are aiming for as little downtime as possible, so this is imperative to the smooth running of the tournament.

I'd just like to point out with the format, if it is double elimination then you shouldn't force a second bo3 for the finals. The reason they have the second BO3 in WCS is because the player who came from open bracket still needs to get his chance to drop to the losers bracket. So, why penalise the guy who has come through the event without dropping a match? Your event though, just my 2 cents.
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.
