+ [ RULE SET AND PRIZES - MADE BY EDDIE] +

Respawn Melbourne Sc2 Lan, 28th April 2012:
Start time 12pm Midday Sat 28th (Please be ready by 11am!)
Format: Swiss bracket - open to all players. Top 8 then proceed into Double Elimination finals for a shot at the awesome prizes + $'s
Swiss Info/Format:
*
Swiss Bracket, Round Robin style, so we all play at the same time, same amount of games minimum. Winners play people who also are winning, Losers play people with few wins. The system balances out the games like that.

Due to this, we have to wait until everyone has completed the round before we can move onto the next one. This will give time for the earlier finishers to grab a drink, watch others play, do some leeching, etc. Please dont drag games out if you are sure to lose, eg float/hide buildings when your opponent is 4-5 bases up, etc. It’s a best of 3, so you have another chance, and everyone won't want to wait around forever.

Map pool:

All rounds are best of 3. Loser of first game picks 2nd map, opponent is allowed 1 veto. If a 3rd game is required, the loser of game 2 may select a map from the pool, excluding maps already played, opponent is allowed 1 veto.
*
Round 1 1st Map:*Wcg Shattered Temple
Round 2 1st Map:*Wcg Antiga Shipyard
Round 3 1st Map:*Ohana LE
Round 4 1st Map:*Wcg Shakuras Plateau
Round 5 1st Map:*Cloud Kingdom LE
Round 6 1st Map: Daybreak LE
*
* Wcg = world cyber games versions. No gold bases, spawn opposite your opponent, changed tileset. Otherwise, same as ladder 1v1 versions. To create, go to custom game, search wcg. If you cannot find for some reason, gsl version is fine too.
*
Map pool you can select from: Cloud Kingdom LE, Tal Darim Alter LE, Ohana LE, Wcg Metalopolis, Wcg Antiga Shipyard, Wcg Shattered Temple, Wcg Shakuras Plateau, Daybreak LE
*
Join in game channel: Respawn (Channel button is next to the in game clock for those that dont know). Finding your opponent will be easier in the channel, rather than in person.

Results:
*
Tell Eddie (FaDeEdOne) results, and feel free to ask if need any help Results can be told in person or in game via private chat. If in game submit in format 2-0, 2-1, with winner clearly stated. If in person, please don't disturb Eddie if he is playing, there is no rush on results, wait until the match is finished.

Additional rules:

All games must be played on the SEA (Australian) server. Game mode = melee, 1v1, Speed = Faster

Players who are more than 15 minutes late will be disqualified (unless admin has been informed why beforehand, and has been approved), their opponent will be given an automatic win for that round. If it happens a second time, you will be removed from the tournament. Reason for this is all games must conclude before we move onto the next round.

If any disconnects occur within the first five minutes of game-play, the match will be replayed. However if the disconnect occurs after five minutes of game-time, it may be replayed if both players agree. However if there is any concern from either player, then it is up to the discretion of the event admin to decide whether; A) the game is to be replayed, or B) player X/Y is to be awarded the win. A 3rd straight disconnect results in a loss of that game.

Any inappropriate behaviour will result in a disqualification
You are allowed to switch races at any time, but must inform your opponent if doing so

Prizes:
1st place: Shock Spin HD headset ($79) + $200 cash
2nd place, Theron Gaming Mouse ($80) + 100 cash
3rd: $35 cash (Free weekend at respawn)
4th: White-Ra Mouse Pad ($26)

GAMES WILL START 12 (noon) SHARP. PLEASE SET UP BEFORE 11 AND READY BY 11:30.

Yes you read correctly.

[SLCN.Kez]

I played in the last one its pretty laggy the net connection wasnt very good

[Fourby]

yeh sharing net with like 200 people is never good for sc2

[Mayo]

From the head guy of the LAN

So if we only have 32 people, we'll implement a system where we only grant the 32 people Internet access via our Intranet. If we can't get that working, we can manually retrieve the IP addresses of those registering for the competition and load-balance them by hand.

Our Internet solution is to Internet-share out NAT'd connections via the University's rate-limited wireless. Each connection is only 1.5Mbit/sec.
