Are you a bronze? Are you sick of fighting silvers and golds for your share of the glory?
Then mGG has the tournament for you!
As part of our recruitment drive, mGG will be hosting a 16 person bronze level tournament
The tournament will be a 16 person pool-play format. Each person will play 3 BO3. That means everyone will get to play 6-9 games. After pool play, the top player from each group will go through to playoff for spots in single elimination style. Whilst there are no prizes beyond glory, mGG will be offering replay analysis for clanless participants (not just winners!). Replay analysis may be done for people with clans as well, depending on numbers. We want to support those who don't already have the support of clan. Where possible, these will be streamed. Otherwise a text analysis will be posted here.
Eligibility: Bronze on all servers. Please do not sign up if you are ranked higher on another server. You MUST be bronze at the start of the tournament.
Where and when: Sunday Jan 13th, 5 pm SG, 7 pm QLD, 8 pm NSW/Vic on the SEA server. Channel: mGG Bronze Tourney
How to sign up: Post below with your in-game name and character code and clan (if any)
Prizes: 1st places gets a dota 2 key (courtesy of pX.Fuzzy) and 1 hour of coaching from an mGG GM. 2nd place gets 1 hour of coaching. 3rd and below recieves a replay analysis.
Map pool: Current ladder maps - Feel free to use WCS versions of the maps. The use of buildings to block off an opponents ramp (between main and natural) will be ruled as a forfeit of that game. Starting maps for 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounds will be Ohana, Daybreak and Cloud Kingdom. Loser picks the next maps, no vetoes.
1. Manners and respect above all else. The use of BM (bad manner) will result in a forfeit of that game. A second instance will mean removal from the tournament.
2. Being 15 minutes late for the start will result in a forfeit of the first game. If a player has not shown after another 10 minutes, they will be removed from the tournament.
3. If a disconnect occurs in the first 5 minutes of a game, the game is to be replayed. A second disconnet will result in a forfeit from the tournament, as we can not allow such disruptions to slow the rest of the group. Disconnects occuring after 5 minutes may be sent to an admin for analysis - either a win or a rematch will be awarded.
pXFuzzy and TN?Mike have offered their casting services (http://www.twitch.tv/mickchooks), but so far we don't have any competitors! Seeing as 20% of the server are still bronze, I would have thought they would jump at the opportunity?
Just a reminder for any Bronze players who are interested in this to leave a message here with ur details so we can get accurate numbers. And feel free to link this page to any bronze players you play after your games thanks every one
I am interested in joining the Tournament. But I don't think i can make on 12th, as I probable will be going out than. Even if i am not, it's around my Dinner time and i don't want to have to go in middle of the tournament. I have already mention it to mGGAlpha already.
But it's interesting to have a Go for Bronze only tournament, which sounds fun to have a go at.
But i do my best to make it to the Tournament. If my plan changes in regards to the tournament date, than i can join in
I could play in some later game or something. But It also depends, on when the tournament finish and when i get back home. Even though it is late and already started since round 1, i am still happy to play something related to the tournament (or it doesn't have to be relating to the tournament). So let me know when i am SC2.

As it stand we only have a small number of people interested, two people have said they can't make the time, and it clashes with the return of the SC2SEA BSG (I scheduled mine first, dammit!).
Therefore, I am pushing the date back one day to be Sunday 13th, and back one hour to be 5 pm SGT, 7 pm QLD and 8 pm NSW/Vic. Hopefully more people can make it now. Also, It's looking like it's going to be quiet small. So unless a barrage of people sign up closer to the date, I will probably change the format slightly - maybe to a simple round robbin or something. If it ends up really small (< 6), we might just do some peepmode practice or something. I will let people know at the start.

If that the case i can make it on Sunday 13th 8pm at this point in time. The only worry i have now is the Dinner timing for me (but i don't take long to eat dinner, i could play later matches of the same round, i.e. end). So whatever works i guess.

So...is the Tournament has been changed to be held on the 13th of January, instead on the 12th? Alpha implies the tournament is on Sunday on battlenet forums, which is the 13th of January.
If it is changed to Sunday 13th instead of Saturday 12th, change the time on the main post (post #1) of this thread, otherwise people will get confused with the date and times of the tournament.

Here is another possible website for hosting or managing tournament brackets that you could use. You should give this a try and could be better to use and visually better as well (you can embedded the live brackets image or live download, according to the website). Once tournament is over you probable upload that brackets for everyone to see. Worth a look at it.
Noobschool fun tournament #3, which i participate. Used this website. Example: http://challonge.com/noobschool
mGGLiquid and Pharaoh also participated in this Tournament as well.

Challonge deson't do pool play though. I couldnt find a website that would do pool play format the way I wanted. And yeah it's been taken back one day and one hour, OP updated.

Oh ok...well...you can use it after the Pool, for Round 1, Round 2, ...., Semi-Finals, Finals
Hopefully at my end, timing will work out for me in terms of making it to the Tournament on time (at this point in time).
Isn't it adding one day, rather than taking back a day? lol XD

hehe i dont speak da good english. I speak 'Strayin. 'Strayin doesn't really matter what words you use, cos its mostly grunts and head nods anyway. It's a highly refined form of language. Unconfirmed reports are that it also includes some form of telepathy, but how those telapathic waves are propagated over the internet has yet to be determined.

I just signed up to this site, and it just so turns out that I'm Bronze 1v1.
I play as Random, and it is possible I could get a friend to enter also (totally unconfirmed).
