Would people be interested in possibly having a community tournament run? We could split it in two, Bronze Silver Gold and Platinum Diamond possibly further depend on the amount of people interested. All the other particulars we can work out later mainly just want to see if people were interested.

Would be good to just get the community involved with one another maybe meet a few new people, practice partners probably will even see some good games. Just want to get everyone involved really.

Anyways, suggestions, interest and what not below.

Thanks.

Winner gets a Liquipedia Page.

I'd also like to see Race Wars, as that's something from SC1 that hasn't carried over at all yet

And thats exactly why i started this!! Well it was torniquet's idea

http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=290

In an effort to organise more tournaments for the community, we are starting a Paypal Community Drive.

-The amount raised will go directy into the tournament fund pool, which can be seen at the top of the site.
-All payments will be handled and processed by PayPal so you need a PayPal account!
-The money will be used as Prizes for the tournaments and they could be COTH, Clan Leagues, Race Wars, KOTH, Gold and below tournaments, weekly opens, to name a few i can think off.
-We are basically helping organise tournaments for the community with your money!
-The chosen tournament will be a based on votes from a public poll created on sc2sea.
-There will be full transparency and every donator will be listed here with the donation amount.
-If you want your donation to be annoynmous just PM me

-Any big donaters will have their name specially mentioned somehwere prominent on the site for a preiod of time. (Unless you do not want this)

To get the balling rolling, i have donated $10!

Donate now!

Lets see if we can make this work! More tournaments with nice prizes are always good

QuestionMark · Fri, 19th-Nov-2010, 2:30 AM

Sounds pretty fun.

**nirvAnA** · Fri, 19th-Nov-2010, 2:36 AM

guys now you need to start suggesting the tournament formats for the community tournament and ill make a poll soon maybe this weekend there can be a tourney

I think people would still play in a community tournament for sc2sea. Rewarding the loyal members - if there was a prize all the good players who don't even use the site would just come and play in it to get the money.

Great point. Yea the prizes dont have to be big for each tournament, so we can have more tournaments with something to fight for haha.

I guess since its funded by the sc2sea community, only sc2sea members should be eligible?

Ok after discussion with Torniquet this is what we are gonna do.
The first tournament will be a community tournament to gauge interest and test things out. The Prize will be your very own custom title (Mine says Admin, Torniquet's says Head Moderator, yours can say whatever like "Zerg Hero!" within limits) and your very own WHO's WHO profile page. If you already have a who's who page you can choose one for a friend of yours.
