+ [ Rules, Regulations and Tournament Eligibility] +

Tournament Eligibility:
You must be legitimately in the Bronze, Silver or Gold league (1v1 - SEA license) and you must be active on ladder.
Everyone will be checked for typical smurf activity designed to keep them in a lower league.
Anyone found to be smurfing will be added to the BSG Hall of Shame so everyone can be aware of their shameful acts.

Battle.net chat channel: "sc2seaBSG"

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 ladder race throughout tournament.
The only race switch allowed is to and you may not switch again.
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, the game must be replayed. If a player disconnects for a second time, his opponent will be awarded a free-win. A win may also be awarded if the player that disconnected was significantly behind at the time of disconnection. Contact an admin if you would like your game/replay reviewed.
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.

As you can see we're testing out ESV maps this week. Get some practice in on them and see which ones you like. There is space to switch some for others since we're not using the whole pool so feedback is welcome

I was practicing on the some of the esv maps and I found that ESV Avalon always has a neutral nexus at the top left position, pushing your base out. I screen capped to show what I mean.

I'm not sure if there are any problems with the other maps, I've only played a few. I'm in the process of checking out the others.

I have a second account (which should now be listed in my profile I think?) playing terran only, because I'm thinking about switching to T once HOTS comes out.

Don't worry, Diamond P doesn't translate to Diamond T

I'm barely gold level.

**mGGNemesis** · Thu, 23rd-Aug-2012, 6:55 AM

I was wondering whether we could like use half of the esv(or just 2-3 of them) and half the ladder pool maps so that players who are unfamiliar with the ESV maps won't be as intimidated with the 100% change in map pool? Not everyone might have enuf time to practice on the new maps.
Just a thought.

DUCKVILLELOL · Thu, 23rd-Aug-2012, 7:15 AM

Just spoke to one of the ESV gents prodiG - apparently some servers have been having issues with the ESV maps working properly with the stupid Arcade - he said to double check all the maps on the server are the correct ones and are fully functional; and if need be we can contact them if we need some help with the maps. When I get home tonight I'll run through them all and make sure it's all good, in case anyone else isn't able to in time.
