to answer that,
1. sponsorship issues.
2. it was an experiment to test the waters for the jc/sec school population of sc2 players. especially sec school
unfortunately the turnout and signups for the tournament is exceedingly poor. so there's a high chance it may be suspended to wait for june after the sc2 scene has a chance to gain further momentum. and perhaps this time with an expanded pool to include poly.
i will confirm that abovementioned fact in the next 48-72 hours.

hi mezza, I'm a sec school student and firstly i would like to thank you for putting in all the time and effort to carry this tournament out in the first place. i would really like to join but because i did terribly in my eoys, i'm having a reexam on 16th dec, so just nice clash:
anyway, i think that there is a small but dedicated community in sec schools, at least from what i can observe, but most of us play it rather casually and thus are not really interested in joining competitions. thus, I feel that perhaps you could start of with smaller-scale competitions to "test the waters" as i believe that a small number of people who try out will in turn cause their friends to be more keen to join tournaments.
i have friends who i think do quite well, but they also cite shyness as a reason for not joining. I feel that if there are just a few people who can relate their tourney experience, they can also rope in the good people who are shy. hope you can take in my suggestions
I regret to inform you guys that this tournament has been put on hold and considerations are being made to reinstate it during the June holidays instead. Thanks to everyone who signed up to show support but unfortunately there just wasn't enough participants to justify running the tournament.
-Mezza
