Parking is available at UNSW via Gate 2, High Street, and Gate 14, Barker Street. Street parking is also available on surrounding streets. See parking map here.
Food & Drinks:
As we are situated near the busy streets of inner Sydney you can be sure that all major fast food outlets will be found after a bit of looking, we know there is a McDonalds located a 5 minutes walk away. If you are looking for something a bit more fancy however there are plently of pubs and resturants near the venue, we recommend the Doncaster Hotel (pub) on the same street as the Addison Hotel.
I am willing to help set up on the Friday, I do work that day but should be able to get there around 6:30pm (mentioned this to Nick as I left Melbourne). Im not sure what the plan is for time etc but provided im not stuck in a conference or something ill see you there ^_^

So excited! I will see if I am able to fly down early and volunteer with setting up the sc2 open bracket area (if it gets the green light). Just gotta see how things tie up with uni. Woooooooooooooooooo
We will have at least one Online Round for this season which will be the final opportunity for players to earn points to make the invite seeds. I wouldn't bank on an open bracket your best bet is to play your hardest during Online Round 5 and potentially 6 and see if you can earn enough points. If there comes an open bracket consider it a bonus.
Baldie do you know how your going with volunteers?
I have a few things to work out (friday work, saturday cricket), however if things are desperate I could try to work things around.

I have a lot of leads but not a lot of confirmations. Which is understandable given the distance before the event but equally we need to know how likely any lead is of being reliably available as we have to do some logistical changes should we have an open bracket!
I'll put you down as a lead and we can discuss over time.
Oh i hope there is an open bracket for this !! this is two weeks after my birthday !! i would love to compete in SC2 1v1 !! =D Please have an open bracket !
