Respawn Melbourne Sc2 Lan, 26th January 2013:
Start time 12pm Midday Sat 26th (Please be ready by 11am!)
Format: Swiss bracket - open to all players. Top 8 then proceed into Double Elimination finals for a shot at the awesome prizes + $'s
Swiss Info/Format:
*
Swiss Bracket, Round Robin style, so we all play at the same time, same amount of games minimum. Winners play people who also are winning, Losers play people with few wins. The system balances out the games like that.

Due to this, we have to wait until everyone has completed the round before we can move onto the next one. This will give time for the earlier finishers to grab a drink, watch others play, do some leeching, etc. Please dont drag games out if you are sure to lose, eg float/hide buildings when your opponent is 4-5 bases up, etc. It’s a best of 3, so you have another chance, and everyone won't want to wait around forever.

Map pool:

All rounds are best of 3. Loser of first game picks 2nd map, opponent is allowed 1 veto. If a 3rd game is required, the loser of game 2 may select a map from the pool, excluding maps already played, opponent is allowed 1 veto.
*
Round 1 1st Map: WCS Anitga Shipyard
Round 2 1st Map: WCS Entombed Valley
Round 3 1st Map: WCS Cloud Kingdom
Round 4 1st Map: WCS Ohana
Round 5 1st Map: WCS Daybreak
*
* WCS = Blizzard World Championship Series versions. No gold bases, No close spawns. Otherwise, same as ladder 1v1 versions. To create, go starcraft up to left > to custom game, > create > search wcs + invite opponent. If you cannot find wcs for some reason, gsl version is fine too.
*
Map pool you can select from: WCS Cloud Kingdom, WCS Daybreak, WCS Entombed Valley, WCS Ohana, WCS Anitga Shipyard, GSL Metropolis
*
Join in game channel: Respawn (Channel button is next to the in game clock for those that dont know). Finding your opponent will be easier in the channel, rather than in person.

Results:
*
Tell Eddie (DevianT) results, and feel free to ask if need any help Results can be told in person or in game via private chat. If in game submit in format 2-0, 2-1, with winner clearly stated. If in person, please don't disturb Eddie if he is playing, there is no rush on results, wait until the match is finished.

If you don’t start your games within the required time, you shall be walked over for that round.

Additional rules:

All games must be played on the SEA (Australian) server. Game mode = melee, 1v1, Speed = Faster

Players who are more than 15 minutes late will be disqualified (unless admin has been informed why beforehand, and has been approved), their opponent will be given an automatic win for that round. If it happens a second time, you will be removed from the tournament. Reason for this is all games must conclude before we move onto the next round.

If any disconnects occur within the first five minutes of game-play, the match will be replayed. However if the disconnect occurs after five minutes of game-time, it may be replayed if both players agree. However if there is any concern from either player, then it is up to the discretion of the event admin to decide whether; A) the game is to be replayed, or B) player X/Y is to be awarded the win. A 3rd straight disconnect results in a loss of that game.

Any inappropriate behaviour will result in a disqualification
You are allowed to switch races at any time, but must inform your opponent if doing so

Prizes:
1st place: $250 Cash
2nd place, $150 Cash
3rd: $50 Cash
Random: 3x Tt eSPORTS Saphira Mice (White-Ra designed!)
