do we register as team of 4? or individually?
cos nGen got at least 4players in Auckland uni...
and most importantly, any prize?
This post is for the qualifiers to make it into the Team League team. You must place in the top 4 in your University's ladder to be selected to represent your Uni. As such, you will be required to register individually.
Also, there will be no prizes for the qualifier, but I am working on obtaining sponsors for the main Team League tournament.
If you guys can get enough people to express interest in the Singaporean Uni stream (here in this thread) then I'll expand it to include Singaporean ones too. I did it for NZ, so only fair
And don't forget to tell your friends to join too! Any and all leagues are welcome. Each Uni needs at least 8 players for the stream to actually continue on, so let everyone know!
Don't forget to let your friends know! Each University still needs more players in order for a ladder to start. If your University has a StarCraft Society/Club, let them know too

Get onboard guys! Many Universities are getting close to the minimum number of players required. It's going to be epic!
Macquarie University has reached the minimum number of players. Their stream will run. Thus, we will definitely have a Team League, since there are 2 Universities will have teams.

The earlier rounds will be held on B.Net. As for the finals, that comes down purely to where the final teams are located. If it is both in Sydney, then I'll see if I can get it done in person. Otherwise, it'd have to be on B.Net for obvious reasons.

LAN finals would be cool prob possible if top 2 teams from ACT/NSW
That's the plan Although funding is an issue at the moment lol Still working on sponsors.

Register players are recommended to watch this update video :
The brackets and tournament tools have been added. Brackets can be found in the "Registration Status" section. Everyone will be emailed with the bracket that they are specifically in soon.
Keep an eye on www.youtube.com/user/IntoStarCraft, there will be an audio update video with instructions and other random details for you.
Like I said above, I'll look into changing this to a double elimination bracket.
If your group does NOT have a Round of 32, you have until May 22 to play and submit your games in. Otherwise, you have until May 18 (or 19) to play your Ro32 matches.
please include character ID numbers in your brackets as we can see the name of the person we are up against but dont know the char id hence cant add them to friend list to contact them

There is a feature called opponent finder, type in you details to get their ID code.
Btw, I tried adding my opponent and apparently he doesnt exist...
and are we meant to organise the time and play it our amongst ourselves then send you the replays?

Wouldn't surprise me, there have been a handful of people who entered in a number completely different to what theirs is. Email me at sea@intostarcraft.com with the details and I'll look into it.
Also, there will be an email going out that will explain it all.
should probably lengthen the time for the Ro32, considering that many people still don't know that the brackets has been released, and even when using the opponent finder, my opponent's race was listed as zerg but under the tournament bracket, he is terran.
And notification emails should probably be sent out earlier than after the tournament starts...

I'm willing to give an extra day extension for Ro32. But you have to be mindful that the other groups will have to wait for you too. And I'm not superhuman, I can only do so much at a time lol

damn I think the tournament should be double elimination, I feel that in my group the only 2 good players have to play first round, meaning that our final team will be weak.
It is getting changed into one.

Hey! I'll be trying to cast any of the games in this tournament! So please send me your replays, which uni you're from as well as which round the games are from! Email and other details can be found in my sig!
Is it too late to sign up now for Auckland Uni? Not being cocky or anything but I'm sure I'll make it through if spot is given..I forgot to register. Possible for replacement for no show even?

Goddamit, I had to be put against JimDiddy in the first game Held on for 10 mins each game so pretty proud
You held on decently well considering who you were up against lol So good work there.
What do you do if your opponent has blocked you so you cant get in contact with him??? doskoijayone has set me to ignore. i've sent the emaiil thingy through your website and no reply

Then that is his loss. If you have made the effort to contact, and he does not, then you are given the win.
A few of the games have already been casted. Be sure to head over to http://www.youtube.com/user/IntoStarCraft and check them out! The more views/likes the videos have, the more the sponsors will most likely be willing to sponsor the Team League!
I thought the RO16 was due in later... so I just emailed my opponent today. (he hasn't emailed me yet + his identifier code is wrong)
sorry for any inconvenience caused
btw I registered for terran, but I changed my race to zerg. Can I play the tourney as Zerg?

You have to played as your registered race for the entire qualifying bracket.
Hey Crucius (I left an email at the contact address on the site but thought I'd post here), and just as importantly: System.
I haven't made much effort to be online during the period that I was meant to play my matches due to being sick and having two assignments due this week. I feel it's only fair to award System the win given that the due date has passed.

i can't find the guy i'm meant to play. Haven't seen him online.
What is happening with the Ro8? When I use the opponent finder, it says I am not in this round. Also I don't know what the status of the brackets are at the moment. Did I send my email to the right address? replays@intostarcraft.com
I played my opponent and submitted my replays, then the admins emailed me saying that i played the wrong opponent when 1. i got my opponent off the Opponent Finder. 2. I contacted my opponent through the Opponent Contact System 3. I played the correct opponent according to the tournament ladder and 4. im given till tomorrow night to play the match. Can the admin of the competition clarify this?
Ro8 brackets and Match Up databases will be up within the hour.

An amendment was made an hour after the original ladders were posted, and both of you should of have been emailed in regards to this change. The wrong person progressed into the Ro16 despite losing in the Ro32. If you matches aren't played by tonight, the same rules and procedures apply for any standard unplayed matches.
and if my opponent fails to respond to my email? and according to the email sent to me, the deadline given to me for finishing my Ro16 was tomorrow night, so which instruction do i follow?

Tonight is the deadline, since your match is delaying the Ro8 for your bracket. If he fails to respond, you get the win.
theres a problem now, the system still isn't updated so I can't contact my next opponent even now when the Ro8 is due tonight, and my opponent just emailed me when i can play my game but I can't reply him so when tonight passes, will he get the bye without even playying the game?

I have your tag added, hop on and we'll fight now.
Due to technical issues on the web host side of things, there will be a delay in releasing the next round's bracket. I apologise for the delay and I will get things rolling as soon as their issue is corrected.
hey is this going to be an on-going league? because i was concentrating on gunning subjects for this sem haha. only have 2 subs next sem so im keen to play for a USYD spot :]
After numerous issues with our webhost, the Round of 4 as well as the Round of 8 seeding matches have started! The deadline for the Ro4 is 31st of May.
I'm placing a freeze on the tournament progress as a very large majority of the matches in the Ro4 are unplayed, and the exam period is coming up very soon for a lot of people. We'll figure out how the captain position will be decided at a later date.
