Crap I just signed up but then realised I won't be able to make it, is there any way to remove myself from the registered players list?

Last time I checked, if you click the "Register" URL while logged in, it gives you the option to delete your registration.

Baldie where can I buy one of the shirts on your dp? If you tell me I promise to give you a new photo to use

Reminder this bad boy is next Sunday (19th)!

Group selection processes will be made clear before the online round at the request of Fenner and others.

The ACL site has been experiencing a lot of traffic as of late and has been known to crash from time to time so please be patient when trying to register!

Also remember this is one of two online rounds for Season 2.

In regards to confirming the dates of ACL Melbourne and its location I cannot disclose as of yet but will post on SC2SEA as soon as it is made public.

I can confirm the format of group/open bracket selections has been finalised.

For at least this season both top 16 seeding and the 8 open bracket seeds will and have been preselected. In other words, there will be no choosing for either top 16 or open bracket with it looking something like this:

Group A
1st
8th
12th
13th

Group B
2nd
5th
11th
15th

etc.

Open bracket will occur the same in that 1st seed may go into group A while seed 5 may go into group B. The seeds will not be revealed until after both online rounds for Top 16 and after open bracket concludes as to ensure players don't manipulate the brackets to get into the group they want.

Moving forward we will look at shifting to player choices but it is not a priority right now - we just want to have a objective and transparent system at the moment.

I guess it doesn't really matter what they're seeded, but will players from open bracket just be seeded 17th-24th and slotted in? Only reason I ask is some people might advocate that the winner of the open bracket should be seeded higher than joe shmoe who finished 15th overall from the two qualifiers. In any case, transparency is always a good thing

No, Joe Schmoe played the qualifiers and shouldn't be penalised because he is Joe Schmoe. The guys in the open bracket should have played the qualifiers if they wanted a higher seed. In a perfect world, the best 16 players make it into groups and the others that come through the open bracket are the Joe Schmoe up-coming players. Have to be objective and set clear seeding rather than saying... Well 16th seed in groups isn't as good as sikkunt that won open bracket.. sikkunt should have played the fkn qualifiers if they wanted a better seed.

best explanation

It doesn't matter in this case as the top 8 open brackets will feed equally among the four groups and because of the way pool play works in that you play each of your 5 opponents it doesn't matter if you seed them 1st or 24th - they still end up playing the same people.

Open Bracket seeds would take 17th - 24th however if there came a need to split.

PS: Remember signups close midnight tonight!
