Groups are up!
If you're playing tonight, be sure to be in channel "ACLPro X" at 7:45PM AEDT (Syd/Melb) time so we can prepare to start up your matches.
(Replace the "X" with your group letter, ie. Dippa would join ACLPro B")
Players will take turns as they veto 2 maps each, until only 3 remain.
Each player will then choose 1 map that will be played if that player loses a game.
The remaining map will be played first.
FORMAT
All games are played Round Robin, Best of Three. All results are to be reported in YOUR CHANNEL, not via PM's to me.
The top player from each of these groups will advance to the 16-player Double Elimination Bracket on Saturday, see here for more information: Double Elimination Bracket
The top 32 players will receive points for this event, even though only 16 will advance to the double elimination bracket. So don't be bowing out early if it looks like you're not going to top your group!
Here's the intended "schedule" for tonight (gonna edit it into the OP as well) - essentially this is the order in which you play your games to ensure that we don't have more than one person idle at any point in time. If opponents don't show up or whatever, then we can break the structure, but otherwise i'd like people to stick to it.
Technically Jerry doesn't qualify since it's open to Australia/NZ players only, but I didn't want to have to weed out all of the additional participants, so this time I'll let them play, but their scores won't count. So technically that's a free win for you.
Tezza the Bronze Hero took a map off a Diamond level Protoss (soup).
Just sayin'.
edit: nvm, players got +1 map for walkovers. boo. and i was so proud of tezza and everything. damnit.
We will just pretend I took a game off him. By that time I told him what I was doing anyway. I forge fast expanded to the gold. Pretty sure I blew his mind.
Hoping I can figure out why my Skype refuses to hear Maynarde before we go live tonight! Solo casting + updating results + lining up matches to stream was a pain in the assssssssss.

its probably one of those things where its the simplest solution but you just dont think of it. ie skype volume/windows volume mixer etc...

It was actually a case of "the stream is already live and games are underway, I don't have time to troubleshoot it right now." :P
I'm pretty sure it's this, copy/pasting a similar issue from one of the other ACL staff:
Quote:
I discovered what the problem was. Long story short is that I had a second monitor set up via HDMI, which screwed up Windows 7's "soundboard", and xsplit couldn't pick up my skype conversation. I have since then, tested all of my new settings and streamlined the cast as much as possible. It now all works. >.>
Essentially it seems that Skype decided to nominate my Plasma TV as it's output source, rather than my headset. It's weird, it's never done this before, but it makes perfect sense. I bet if I turned the volume up on the TV, I'd be able to hear Maynarde. Shouldn't be a problem tonight - I just don't have much time to test things out between getting home from work and firing up the stream.

AHHHHH yeah ive had that problem. I use an external sound card so i have like 3 audio devices that my computer gets confused with :P
All the Tuesday groups results went as i thought except for pinder losing to sunder - wtf, and Bielsko not showing till late. Dippa/signs was a tossup.
I know everyone will be disappointed, especially Sensei.... but I will not be competing this evening :P I will unleash my crazy Macro in another tournament. I believe Sensator will be filling in for my games.
Here's the schedule for tonight, also editing it into the OP:
Note that the games in red are walkovers, these players have contacted me and let me know they won't be able to attend tonight. VaNzR is also being replaced by "Sensator", apparently!
O_O When did I sign up for this? Wow I don't even remember.. This is what happens when I'm inactive, I don't have the TA boys on teamspeak reminding me about stuff like this.
I'm sorry Dox! Mafia would've made it out of my group anyway so it's all good.
GL to all competing tonight.
EDIT: Okay, I see the thread now. Shoulda requested to play wednesday! Ah well. ^_^
