I love the ideas for these tournaments chris, esp for the lower league ones. It was really fun to play on sunday and not just get 6-0'd haha. We had some really epic games also.
Coaching prizes are a great idea, as you said, there wont just be smurfs trying to win good stuff and itll put some money in the pocket of the pro guys. Have to rope Light in for coaching as there P/D bracket was mostly protoss haha.
Maybe advertise at barcraft or somewhere to the Tier 4 Seacl players, as there would be a lot of P/D guys around who dont frequent the site too much.

I agree with coaching prizes making a lot of sense... Practical and fun and doesn't encourage smurfing the way that cash prizes would.
And this last point is something I really agree with... there are plenty of people out there that attend barcrafts, but don't even know about big events like ACL. The boys at APL have really got their marketing of events down. I would love to see more people in Sydney trying to get them involved even if just to get them to announce more of the other sc2 events in Sydney on their facebook page (provided there are no conflicts of interest here I'm unaware of).
