Ground FFA means only GROUND units are allowed :
Terran : Vikings and medivacs are strictly disallowed
Zerg : Overlords cannot be used as transport
NOTE :
* Observers and ravens can be built BUT only used for detection
* NO buildings should be flying for more than a minute; do not troll hide your flying buildings at a corner etc (yes I'm looking at the terrans)
More details closer to event.
Post questions and interest in this thread and/or pm me on skype or in game.
C u then!
EDIT : Some Actual Day Details
There will be a sudden death condition at some point of time. Players who have not been eliminated by the 45th minute mark, will be told what it will be and when.
No Secret Alliances are allowed. This is FFA afterall.
However temporary alliances are allowed. You can only discuss/negiotiate/make them in game (using general game chat so that everyone is in the know). Such alliances after being negiotiated should last only for about 3-5 game minutes. They should not last the whole game.

Regarding the one queen per hatch. if i just put down say 30 hatches does that mean i am allowed to make another 30 queens?

I guess so as long as your using them stictly for injects and creep spread. I would think any sight of them being used as an army might call for a disqualifying.
Yes one recalls in season 1... SOMEONE did that to multiple players/times >.<

You can do that BUT the queens are only used for injects (larvae) and creep spread and cannot be used as part of an attacking army.
If an air unit accidentally flies over a queen and the queen attacks it, it's fine but to intentionally be attacking it as part of an attacking army will be disallowed. Each queen should be attached to only 1 hatchery for the Air FFA. So I don't think this will be a huge problem.
If you do have 30 hatcheries built at the same base with 30 queens, then I guess we just have to see that happen cos I think that would be hilarious.

At this point in time...I can join this Funday on Sunday!
Question, how is this FFA actually works? We all pick air or ground and take it into FFA? One player picks air and another player pick ground? How does one going air can defend from ground units (that can be rushed)? or are we have one game of FFA for ground and another game for FFA for Air.

It's basically 2 games. One is Air only FFA, the second is Ground only FFA.
I'm targeting a minimum of 8 players for a full map for maximum fun. If we have 12 players then we'll split into 2 6-player maps; if we have 16 players we'll split into 2 8-player maps.
If there are other interested players who want to be referees with me, please let me know. One recalls Zeratul as one of my helpful referees in the last games.
Also, anyone interested to cast this, please pm me. Thxs.
One More Important Note :
No Secret Alliances are allowed. This is FFA afterall.
However temporary alliances are allowed. You can only discuss/negiotiate/make them in game (using general game chat so that everyone is in the know). Such alliances after being negiotiated should last only for about 3-5 game minutes. They should not last the whole game.

For now, just a simple summary for the Air FFA Battles :
All started well with little skirmishes and small harassments.
mGGSouth and Slinky however soon were the first to engage in a major battle. Whilst mGGVortex tried to mass bcs, mGGAbyssal and QEDdrAkiuS were massing Vikings and some banshees, TCPStormz was quietly massing a huge army. When he revealed his mass mutalisks and corrupters army to mGGthoth, he soon quickly proved what a threat he really was. And singlehandedly destroyed each opponent systematically.
1st : TCPStormz, 2nd : mGGIrish, 3rd : mGGSouth
Special mention to Irish who somehow managed to survive till end of game.
Summary for the Ground FFA Battles
The more interesting of the two battles, we saw mGGXaether attempting a nexus first in a FFA. This proves deadly as mGGSouth discovers it and the nexus is gone. Returning home, he further discovers that mGGAbyssal his other neighbour, has also cannoned rushed him from the other side. So was the first to gg out.
Cheese galore continued. TCPStormz pylon cannoned blocked mGGthoth in his base. And so mGGthoth decided to use the all too scary nydus. When the first cry of the nydus was sounded, everyone was at their edge wondering where it was. Poor mGGvortex was its first victim.
However, the most epic battle would be between TCPStormz and mGGSouth. Both had massed an epic powerful toss army each. Both had 3-2-3 upgrades. Stormz had 12 colossus, 4 immortals, 8 archons and some sentries. South had 9 colossus, 5 immortals, 4 archons. But South proves he is the better and more experienced toss. Spreading his army properly before engaging and all his previous harassments to Stormz finally paid off. Even though stormz used hallucination to make 4 more colossus, his superior army was soon torn apart by South. (too gosu)
1st : South; 2nd : QEDdrAkiuS 3rd : TCPStormz
Special mention to QEDdrAkiuS who was so frightened of the 2 huge toss armies moving around (but they were more worried about each other and hence left him alone till the end)
Hope everyone had fun ^_^

Yeah I did enjoyed....thanks for hosting it Nemesis!
For Air Units Only FFA...It's first time using Sky Terran in a game! haha Very expensive endeavor, with very limited bases to take. It was challenging to grab expos, where your opponent's also wants the base as well...lol...at the end no gas to make more BCs (but i floated heaps of Minerals) and lost
For the ground Only FFA. Since i guessed at that time there probable would be mass colossi and mass swarm host. My Marines and Marauder won't be enough without the medivac support (no air units, so no medivac). Even with medivacs MMM can be beaten quite easily against colossi and swarm host. So i tried to mech (for the first time) and failed miserably, from that Nydus from gosu Thoth...haha
I should i just went marine and maraduers and tanks instead lol
Hope everyone had fun!!!

Stormz using spines and drones to finish off Irish's last stand
Stormz chessing Thoth leading to Thoth's scary nydus (Ground)
Clash of the Titans - South vs Stormz (Ground) Stormz' bigger army...
...but engagement was in South's favour (plus being able to reinforce)

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.

Wow, thanks SO MUCH for posting this and I know I'm super late and NO ONE is going to read this haha.
Although I rarely play starcraft 2 anymore (more on LoL), I still like to look back at the game and what it was like in the 'good old days'. XD
Looking at the post I can really say I had a lot of fun playing starcraft 2 and thanks so much to the community of sc2 it really was great, even when there were moments where I would get pissed off lol.
Even thought no one will read this xD and really im not important at all i just really wanted to say thanks to the community especially my clan QED and mGG and MANY OTHERS that have made this game memorable.
It sounded like he really miss some of the good old fun days of sc2 and might be going away for a while.
