OK….. LET’S GET TO THE POINT!

Greetings and salutations my fellow SC2SEA members! I am delighted to finally announce the second Bass Fish Open!

Now the more eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed something very interesting… namely the prize pool! The $100 prize pool has been cobbled together by various members in Eternal eSports so thank you guys!

And thank you to Eddie who is allowing me to offer OSC points into the bargain! So what are you all waiting for! Get in!

So now you are wondering… how the hell do I get involved here??

ELIGIBILITY

• This tournament is open to all members of this community who own an account on any server.
• Players from all leagues are encouraged to sign up however if the tournament fills and a GM/M player signs up the last person below master league to sign up will forfeit his/her place.
  

NB: A small cash prize equal to 10% of the prize pool will be awarded to the person below master league that progresses the deepest into the tournament. In case of a tie the players will play a Best of 3.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT

The ‘host server’ for this tournament will be the SEA region. Players may move to another region by mutual agreement however all results need to be reported to Balimaar (me).

16 august 2014 7:00 PM AEST

The tournament will start on Saturday 16th August at 7PM AEDT.

To facilitate a smooth start players are asked to join the BassFishOpen channel on SEA 15 minutes prior to the start time.

Players will be seeded first according to their rank in the OSC standings and then by world ranking according to http://nios.kr/sc2

Players are expected to save their replays for a week after their matches to aid in mediating disputes and rooting out those sad sad people…. the hackers! Failure to produce a replay within a reasonable timeframe may result in a DQ.

The map pool will be the current season’s ladder maps.

Round of 64 – Best of 1
Round of 32 – Best of 1
Round of 16 – Best of 3
Round of 8 – Best of 3
Semi-Finals – Best of 3
Grand Final – Best of 5

The first map of any given series will be chosen via veto. In other words, players will take turns to veto one map at a time from the map pool. The remaining map will be the first map!
The loser of any match in a series may choose the next map from the map pool.

PRIZE POOL

This is a winner-takes-all-the-cash tournament!
Now $100 is only the default amount. The full prize pool will be calculated as follows:

Prize Pool = 100 + 50*((number of sign ups – no shows)/64)

In other words… if this tournament gets the full 64 players and EVERYONE shows up the prize pool can be as high as $150!

150!As I mentioned above, the legendary Eddie is allowing me to offer OSC points! Here is what you can earn:

1st- 100
2nd- 50
3rd- 25
4th- 15
5-8th- 5 each
9-16th 2.5 each

BOUNTIES

kingkOng - $10
Enderr - $10
Wildcard bounty = DemiLove - $10

To claim the bounties you must defeat the opponent in a series. The Wildcard bounty was chosen at random with random.org.

Caster for the tournament will be an old clan mate BaldEagle Thank you Baldy

But Balimaar why aren’t you casting? You do great with the Bass Fish BSG Opens!

Mainly because I want to focus on running a smooth tournament and also I have to watch my internet quota haha!

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

Simplicity!!!! All you have to do is reply to this thread with your in game name, character code and a link to your bnet profile page!
Please note: if you DO NOT submit all the information above you will run the risk of being seeded at the very bottom.... I dare you to post Xx_ZergIsTheBugRace_xX.asdf I dare you :P
