As if being Rugby World Champions wasn't enough, eSports NZ has announced their first SC2 tournament to be played offline at MidCity Internet Cafe in Auckland, New Zealand. I couldn't find a previous thread on this, so details provided by the organisers can be found below:

This is a 1v1 Starcraft 2 Tournament that will involve division groups in skill level to allow for better equality for players of lower skill levels.

Cash prizes will increase depending on the number of participants. Register below and express your interest on the facebook page

Details

• Date and Time: 3rd December · 10:00AM to 10:00PM

• You do not need your own Starcraft 2 account to participate.

• 15% of all profits are distributed to our employees' favourite charities.

• Cheating will not be tolerated. Using bugs is prohibited. We reserve the right to disqualify anyone upon the suspicion that they are cheating or for bad behavior / poor sportsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ [FAQ] +

Q. How do divisions work?
A. In the first round of games the competitors will be judged upon their ability and placed into a division. Each division will be the same size. Then competitors will compete within each division for the division prize. Finally, the division winners will Face-off for the grand prize. The competitor in 1st Place will only get the grand prize (i.e. not in conduction with the division prize). That division prize will go to the runner up of that division.
Each round between two players will consist of a 'best of 3 games' to determine the winner. Participants in the Varsity Bracket may not look at active matches (i.e. no "screen peeking")

Q. May I bring my own equipment (i.e. Keyboard/Mouse/Headphones)?
A. Yes, as long as it is not able to aid in cheating in any way.

Q. Can I just come to watch and not participate?
A. Yes, that is fine as long as you do not aid or interfere with the participants of the tournament in any way. We also ask that you make a gold coin donation to iPlay upon entry, but this is not compulsory.

Q. When do registrations close?
A. A week before the tournament (29th of November)

Q. Will I be required to present ID to iPlay staff before participating?
A. Yes, this is to confirm you are who you say you are and that you aren't taking the spot of another registered participant. Your ID will remain private.

Do that. I'm keen to turn up.

[JordsKeen]

"That's probably because the two people managing the tournament that work at iPlay weren't working today (try the weekend or before 10am). I apologize for the confusion, as we were originally planning it to be on the 1st but changed the date to suit players but never updated the old flyers."

Got that reply on the facebook page ^_^
