I'm working with the team @ tls to produce the WCG AU 2011 program and we have people like Dox helping us out by being a Community Representitive for WCG AU

So ... to set a few things straight so we are all on the same page.

Who can participant in Quals ... what you guys have mentioned is correct, to represent Australia in Korea in December you do need to be an Australian Citzen, i'm not 100% sure on the permant resident, but i believe that if you qualify for an Australian Passport, you should technically be allowed to qualify for WCG.

I have put the question back to the team @ tls regarding this and i'll keep you all posted about it

Prizes, i know this is a saw spot with most people, we are trying to work out what was promised to communities so we can ensure we don't provide the, i'm aware that people are still waiting, and i believe that the tls team have the cash ready, so i believe some kind of update out of them this week is possible, but i'll confirm that as soon as i can.

Online or LAN based Quals - this isn't confirmed, right now its just an idea, but i'm interested to know what everyone thinks about this kind of stuff, i've been using Dox to find out what he thinks, but if others want to also put their two cents in ... go for it

So yeah ... i'm hoping to have more news and some announcements regarding the Online vs Offline

You already know that players are awaiting their prizes from the first event, so I am sure you'll follow that up, just wanted to note that this is a relatively important point.

The main question I have is details on the final 2 events, location, times etc. Players WILL travel interstate to qualify for WCG and they need a scheudule to organize the trip, If the player is required to start at 2pm, he can fly in the morning etc, and that kinda stuff needs to be made public pretty soon if the Melbourne event is in 2 weeks.

Online vs Offline, An online qualifier for players that are simply unable to attend any of the events (WA/NT/Regional players, as well as players like Tgun who were overseas at the time competing in Korea) would be good.

If you still have room, I am of the opinion that Offline events are far and away better. Theres more pressure, the players are in an unfamiliar environment and it replicates the conditions they are expected to play at the National Finals and in Korea.
