I think no unfortunatley. The team captain (or player for sc2) has to be enrolled at the university they are representing.

Sorry, they could play for LoL or CoD, but starcraft will have teams of one so that player must be enrolled at the university.

people should come for the chance to party with Thomas and the fake thomas (Jazbas) :P

Unfortunatley due to a variety of issues we have to postpone the competition to some time next year. Refunds should be out shortly to anyone who signed up. Because we are stopping the process now we have managed to incur very minimal loses so we will still have the same money to invest next year.

This is my understanding from our debrief yesterday. We are very new to the tournement making process and have learnt a lot from what we have done and can hopefully run something awesome next year. Sorry for any inconvenience.
