+ [ 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 group: "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 1v1 ladder race throughout tournament.
• 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.

Wow that is amazing!!!

I'm in talks with my wife about the BSG cup on the 29th. I'll let you guys know ASAP.

Quick Comments

CleighMoores:

omg i'm in your signature you rock, guy <3

[CleighMoores]

I used to be Plat NA but since taking my break for Uni I'm now Gold NA, Silver SEA, would you allow me to play in this tourney?

[Asrathiel]

Same answer as always, if you're laddering actively and legitimately on SEA and you are BSG, you can play.

Quick Comments

CleighMoores:

Cool, ty!

[mGGSlayer]

hoping for a top 4 spot now hahaha

[Seffy]

I'll let you know with sign-ups tomorrow after my exam, haven't been able to do much matches this week.

I'll just edit this post to confirm.

Edit: Participating.

[InArmourClad]

I'm going to have to try and swap my shift at work to make it next week, but this sounds awesome

I'll let you know ASAP if I can get the night off.

[Narse]

As of right now...it i can't give a definite answer.
My wife's grandmother passed away and the funeral is on Friday in Quebec (roughly a 5hr drive). I am not sure if it would be in bad manner if i brought my computer with me for it or if i would be able to drive home late into the evening arriving home around 4-5am for a 6am wake up time.

...Bah this sucks i got super excited about this, but family calls as well... I am still a maybe trying to figure out what plans are.

Sorry for your and your wife's loss.
I could understand if it wasn't possible because it already seems rather well organised, but I wonder if it's at all possible to push this tourney back by a week, it seems like it would be easier for a couple of people with exams, work and a funeral to attend... Seems like it would definitely help you a lot, and would make it easier for me to play.

Asrathiel/anyone else, thoughts?

[ToRPandarine]

Hmm...seeing as Blizz refuses to push me back to , I assume I have full blessing from the Queen to join yes?

Quick Comments

Asrathiel:

Yup!

[Takkunen]

Im pretty confident i will be able to make it.

[Narse]

The following weeks are going to be busy in general.
Sat July 6th is my sons first birthday party! (July 2nd is actual day).

@Nem: Of course BSG is run weekly... but how many times does something like this pop up?
@ArmourClad: thanks man!


July 6th would be a lot easier for me to negotiate with the wife lol

Edit: But there is no way i am asking for an event to be changed on my behalf that would be silly.... not sure how many opportunities come along like this... i just felt really good knowing i qualified for something :x

It's okay. Unexpected events can happen and also everyone else has exams on top of things at the moment (well, probs not everyone but a lot of people).

If the date can be changed that would actually be rather good, but it's really up to the admins.

I'd have to check with Mayo as sponsor, I believe he/Tt wanted an event run this month. I can check that though, if July 6 is easier for a significant number of people.

[Narse]

Or Sunday? =p...

But on a serious note what has got the event started is really unbelievable and shows the kind of community we have here. Mega props to mayo baldie and tt esports for even thinking of doing something like this on our Level. And I course As and shock for getting these events goin every weekend!

[WtfBusTop]

I will be able to play

[sneak]

nooo, can we do it on sunday?

[TidaL]

I won't be able to make the 29th
+1 for July 6

[SLCN.Wally]

Sometimes I wish I was bsg :P
