Rules
You must contact your opponent on Battle.net preferably by being in chat channel "sc2seaBSG" to play your match
You have ~15 minutes to start your Round 1 match; anybody that is not contactable after 10 minutes will be disqualified. This 10 minute timeout rule applies throughout the tournament.
You must play your main 1v1 ladder race throughout tournament.
You must play all your games on SEA unless both players agree to play on NA and have informed an admin. You must both then report back immediately.
Observers: Tournament admins or official streamers are always allowed and the only ones to observe your game
Problems/Questions: When in doubt about anything, contact an admin
Reporting Results: After the match has been played, you must report the result by pm to an admin
Disconnects: If a player disconnects, use the 'Resume from Replay' feature to continue the game. If the player has gone offline completely, inform an admin and wait 10 minutes for them to return.
Pauses: You must notify your opponent in game if you wish to pause. This pause should not exceed 5 minutes. Excessive pausing in game may lead to disqualification.
Bad Manner will not be tolerated. Anyone caught BMing will be warned. Further offenses will lead to disqualification. Any racist, hateful or excessively derogatory language may lead to removal without warning. We are a friendly group and we'd like to see it stay that way.
Replays: Should be saved at least until the following tournament. Anyone asked by admins to provide a replay who cannot do so will be disqualified.
Anyone suspected of smurfing (playing another person's account, manipulating ladder to be in a lower league) will be thoroughly investigated and if found guilty, prizes will be stripped and they will be reported to Blizzard and added to the Hall of Shame.
RANDOM players are not allowed to race pick unless an Admin has been informed a WEEK before for SELECTED matchups.
EXAMPLE 1 - Player A vs Player B - Player A did not inform an Admin and race picks. DISQUALIFIED
EXAMPLE 2 - Player A vs Player B - Player A informed an Admin and race picks. PLAY ON
If you ladder a specific race but because of Unranked 1v1s and Ranked/Unranked Teams you are now placed as RANDOM, inform an Admin at once. Having you sc2sea account filled with the correct information will make this process easier..
Format
Round of 32 bo1 on Expedition Lost LE
Round of 16 bo3 on Vaani Research Station
Quarter Finals bo3 on Iron Fortress
Semi Finals bo3 on Coda LE

it would probably be the winning player to follow this up /pm the mods
Actually I think the admins have to notify a mod with regards to this rather than the player himself/herself. A mod will be unlikely to do it because a certain player said he/she won a certain tournament etc because there is no verification for it and it will still bounce back to the admin..

asdf guess it does fall onto me/soul who ever is admin at that time then
I would sign up for this but this is Supanova GoldCoast Weekend and im at a friends place for the duration. Sorry next time ill make my comeback and win after 24 attempts at a tourney
Also, please define must be active on ladder. How many games do I need to play between now and tomorrow night?
Basically, seeing as we know almost all of the people that sign up for these, we also know what level they're at.
You're fine to play, but for newcomers we'll need battle.net account URL's for their most active 1v1 ladder, if anything looks dodgy or we need more links to other profiles, we'll sort it out with a bit of internal discussion.
tl;dr - can't wait to see you play tomorrow night bugalugs ^_^
