Well shit, I don't even know if I'll be available for the finals date - pretty close to when I'm moving

[pRoTimber]

if it is impossible to register online, can we ask friends to register for us instead.

[colbat]

As this is a open league, we're not doing any tracking to prevent smurfing as there is no need to we don't really require your particulars ( as far as i know ) just your name and user as well as the registration fee.

If you cant come down, yes get a friend to do it for you why not.

For registration online, we've got no definite way to collect the registration fee so i'm really sorry about that ):

[dKiWi]

Dude Colbat, what's up with the gawdawful map pool? Could we get rid of Shit Pits, Failwater Gulch and Delta Quadrant?

[HDPhoenix]

Kiwi, chill out. Just remember Colbat is a FPS player first, SC2 player 2nd. He's not super current on SC2 tournament details. The map pool will be changed to something more tournament standard.

Good luck everyone and looking forward to seeing all of you again at Colo ^_^

[dKiWi]

Yeah dont worry im familiar with his clan. And i was about to bring up some horrendous maps from Blackshot as well, but guess there's no need

[colbat]

LOL , totally agree blackshot's map pool. But yea as i said the pool can change just got back from studies to help out with events again sorry if you hate the map pool.

The maps were taken from the blizz map list D:
If you have suggestions i'm open to them ~

[dKiWi]

Dunnoe, considering its such a big tournament and all, maybe you should consult some of the sc2sea admins here, or do some general research on tournaments hosted on sc2sea.com and other major gaming events such as GSL and DreamHack etc.

But to start things off, get rid of those 3 maps and I will assure u that the quality of the event you are trying to organise will improve by leaps and bounds. If you want to fine tune your map pool, i cant help you there. I only heard that there are some currently in-use tournament maps that are not too balanced for some match-ups, but not too sure.

[colbat]

Yea i;ve gone around the forums stalking posts :x lol, but i've not really seen a map pool thats like totally awesome D:

@Lance, : I've gone down to check, yes you need your IC and name for the registration for some admin purposes, if anything you can ask the colo staff.

[EveRekanise]

sweet. going to be some stiff competition

[HDPhoenix]

Colbat, leave the map pool selection to me We'll talk more

[ProAnnn]

QUALIFIERS-

- All players must be online every Sunday to complete their required games.
- Maps to be played for the week will be released for that week itself, Check back constantly to receive an update for the maps.

- Players must PM an admin latest by 6.30pm for that particular Sunday

Hi there,

My 1st post in this forum. A note to point out, 1st June & 1st July does not fall on a Sunday.

I hope all the qns (include map pool) can be confirmed before the 1st qualifiers since 1st May is < 1week away.

Thx

[colbat]

it will be out on the first. As stated if you cant come online during the following times, you are allowed to reorganize your matches to a different time.

[EveParachute]

Hmm im quite confused by the conflicting details being given.

First post states ' Brackets will be drawn up 3 days before the next qualifier at 2400 hrs'

whereas the subsequent post states 'Brackets are randomly generated and will be posted up by 6:25p.m. +8 GMT'

so when would the bracket be posted?

I think allowing players to reorganise their games on a different day/time would cause really bad snowballing/admin problems. Eg say a player postpone his first game to another day, the whole half of the bracket would practically be waiting for that guy. RO64 guy cant proceed until his opp has complete his game and the other RO32 etc cant proceed cause the winner of RO64 is not determined. Just feel its better if there was a fixed staggered timings like GPD open where everyone starts at the same time. There would be little - no snowballing this way ^^

I'm dodging the qualifiers you are in. Unless you join them all

[Mezza]

as a suggestion, just use the TSL3 map pool

crevasse
crossfire se
shakuras plateau
taldarim altar
xelnaga caverns
metalopolis
terminus RE

should be quite okay i think, allow 1-2 vetos i guess? depending on whether BO5/3 etc. then loser pick, very standard. and just pick a map each round to start the games with.

well, just my 2 cents.

[colbat]

Hi muthu, sorry i keyed in the wrong thing as i was keying in other games as well. my bad.

As for the snow balling of games, we would like to try to give the players more freedom for the 1st qualifier.

@ Rev : Yea well i haven't got the players registered yet, Sorry if you were anticipating the brackets.

I would get everything up asap on Saturday or Sunday when i go to WahLian to collect everything.
Things abit messy on my end, very sorry !
