In leadup to a proposed BSG team competition for SEA I am taking signups from BSG clans or existing clans that can produce an all-BSG roster. With the latest team tournaments taking the front stage on SC2SEA with their excitement and community atmosphere I'd like to bring this experience to lower league players without the daunting task of facing up to masters level players.
If you think your clan has what it takes and want to represent your team read on to see how to apply!
Information
GSTL format (all-kill, 4 players)
Length of the event will depend on the number of signups
Tournament structure will involve a round-robin league stage and a playoff final stage
Playdays will be negotiated between teams (ensure your players are free)
If teams cannot agree on a time, default times will be set on weeknights or saturday by staff
Prize: The winning team recieves a clan logo.
SIGN UPS CLOSED.
In addition, please include the following information for all the players on your roster.If you prefer, you can use the forum flag and race icons to post your roster and if you don't know some of the character codes you can sign the player up now without it and fill it in later. A roster must include between 5 and 12 players.
You must be ready to play your first game at the scheduled time. Not showing up or being later than 15 minutes will result in your forfeit.
You will save replays in case of disputes.
You agree to be patient and considerate should for the duration of the event should any unforeseen difficulties arise, and acknowledge that the supervising administrator designated to your bracket has full authority over decisions pertaining to the game and may enforce the rules at his or her discrepancy.
Tournament administrators are free to join any game that they see fit. You are not to refuse entry to a caster or commentator and failure to do so may result in disqualification.
You agree that by entering this tournament that you will not publicly slader or reproach any of the staff or sponsors associated with this tournament on any public medium.
There are to be no spectators of any kind except the aforementioned administrators and the casters.
You may not include players based outside of Southeast Asia or Oceania in your team unless an admin grants special consideration.
You must own your own legal copies of StarCraft II for the SEA server.
If a player is promoted outside of Bronze, Silver or Gold once the season starts they may continue to play until the end of the season.
Maps will be sourced from the Battle.net ladder and competitive maps (ESL, MLG, GSL, etc.)
Teams failing to contact their opponent's manager or agree on a designated play time will be designated a time by an admin. Failure to show at this time will result in a forfeit.
So far the head admins are Maynarde#489, ToRSynzita#319 and TAEdarus#427 but more may be announced.
So far streaming of games is based on volunteers and not every round or match is guaranteed a stream.
The prize is a clan logo thanks to Whipbot. Once the finalists are determined from league play it is the clan leader's responsibility to discuss creative decisions with myself or Whipbot regarding their possible clan logo.

Curious as to what you mean by this. As in you'll design a logo for the team?
edit: Guess I should read the FAQ, completely missed that. Good prize imo, incentive for the teams, but not cash or anything of the sort to tempt non BSG'ers to smurf.

This is awesome, better jump into a clan and get amongst it Is this going to be in the "Tournament" thread or stay in the "BSG" section? Suppose it could be in either.
I'll keep the signups in BSG but the final tourney thing may go in tournaments.
@Benji yeah it should be good, Whipbot did some nice banners and I asked if he did logos and he was pretty keen to help out. I will try and get some of his previous work some time to show participants.

May i suggest that we have community clan that comprimises of just players who are not in a clan but just want to have a go this makes the tourny a bit more open and this will allow more people to participate. And even if there is quite a few people who want to be apart of this community clan you can split them to two or more teams.
Deoends on numbers, if we desperately need another team it's an option but I prefer to keep it actual clans.

Is there any rule stating that a player of each league must play, so it doesn't turn in to the Gold Clan League?
For SoO I did in BW there was a rule where you couldn't submit the exact same lineup twice in a row so something like that will probably be implemented so more people get to play but without handicapping a team too severely for one arbitrary round.

A few people have offered to help admin or cast, but wait until the final thread is announced with the schedules etc. to make 100% sure you will be available

What if the team has players from different nationalities? Do we just list all the nationalities we are from?
That is just for the flag next to the team name, so if you don't have a set country of origin you can just say it's international.

You guys need to post rosters, like the Terror Australis roster in the OP (but include cahracter codes if possible).

Also, not sure if Im allowed to mention it but anyone looking for a clan feel more than welcome to look me up on SEA. Interdiction 626.
regards,
If you have the numbers to completely fill two teams of 10 players you are welcome to do so, though obviously teams with only 1 representantive team will be favoured for inclusion over one that already has one team in it. What you can't do is make 2 teams of 5 players - you have to have one completely full team of 10 players before you can enter a B-Team or similar.

Bit of a thinner roster than I thought we'd get, but that's what happens when you have a casual clan... should be ok. Guessing we can't add people in the middle of the season?

Mid-season additions may be allowed at this point though it's not 100% yet. However, you have between now and when the event starts to add to your roster indefinitely of course

I suspect the league won't go much longer than 5 weeks of round-robin + some playoffs, with much bigger squads you're going to have a bunch of players who only play one game.
You can swap inactives out if you include in your post a 'shadow team' of people who didn't quite make the cut, and they can act as replacements through the season if required.

Okay that sounds much better. I have some arranging to do!

Actually there are more signups than I thought, looking at 8+ teams so I will extend the maximum number of players per team to 12 to accommodate a potentially longer season!

Added your shadow players to the main team accordingly.
EDIT: im not doing the spoilers for dramatic effect. just for courtesy sake. and im not adding players 1 by 1 either. we are still making decisions here and there that's why this is happening. sorry if someone misunderstands.

Were there any more teams to attempt sign up? Otherwise I will start on the scheduling etc. as I don't think going over 8 teams would be ideal.
Usually I'd make this a round robin so that each team plays the other 7 once, but seeing BSG players are usually in the lower leagues because they don't have as much time to consistently play SC2 I was wondering what people would think about separating the teams into groups (randomised) of 4 each. This would mean 3 weeks of group stages, and then playoffs in an elimination bracket.

I think this would be fine and probably the best way to do it. Thumbs up from me.
Looking to end the signups by Sunday the 24th of July and try get the event going from the 31st of July. I will post the main topic with information about the schedule and format between now and the 24th!
We will be split in to two equal groups, so groups of 5 or 6 depending on whether we get 1 more signup or more. If there's an odd number one group will have an extra team with a bye week involved.

Time of Rising (12) QED (11) Terror Australis (10) Team Envy (8) Nerdlings (8) Team DoA (7) This Will Destroy You (7) VB (5) Clan FaDe (5) nWo (5)
If you have less than 7 or 8 players I strongly suggest you have a look at the BSG free agent thread and get in contact with some of the players to see if they would fit your clan! Bolstering your roster will help a lot in the case of no-shows which are bad for everyone See free BSG agents HERE.

Looking foward to the ToR win guys (: (SMAAAAAAACKTALKKKKKK )
Hey man, take it to the smack talk thread, besides this is a tournament and community where everyone deserves a fair go and really any team could come out on top. So have some respect to the other players and clans.

me thinks its going to be hard to run this thing if banned
what he do?
Don't stress he'll be back shortly imo. deL is a big part of the community and he's got tourneys / teams to run. Would've only been a 2-3 day temp ban.
What he did doesn't matter, the BSG clan league will still go ahead.
Yah my bad on getting banned I deserved it haha, will update the OP when I am back. Please try to finalise your rosters by Sunday the 24th of July as the official groups and schedule will be up some time after this weekend.

Signups closed! I will post the thread with the groups soon. Clan LOS unfortunately misses out because the maximum number of teams was reached (12) before they completed their signup.
For those teams without all of their roster's battle.net codes updated you won't be disqualified for it but it's just riskier for you guys if an admin needs to find a player and they can't get in touch because of the lack of details. Not having the character codes updated risks walkovers and whatnot.

For the format I was thinking 2 groups of 6 randomly assigned teams (I may try balance out clan sizes, so one team isn't a group of clans with only 5 members and the other group has all 8+ member teams) will play off round-robin style before elimination playoffs with top4 from each group.
Play days will be assigned for each group on thursdays or fridays and team managers will be assisted in organising a time suitable for the two teams, and if the teams can't agree on a time on their designated day there will be the 'backup' playday on saturday afternoons.
Sound good? If you have some feedback about what days and times might be better or if there are any you 100% cannot make let me know ASAP.
___________________________________ Brendan "TAdeL" Ferguson Clan TA | Twitter | YouTube
That format sounds ok to me. If we can't make it on thurs or fri can you allow any other day, or are you intending that you/another organiser/a caster will be there as well?
Oops i reached too late
If by chance there is still a slot for a team, i have a roster ready (Team Carbon Pressure).
Good luck for the participating teams!

This sounds really cool... a great initiative for us lowly BSGers... hopefully i will be able to compete in one of the upcoming seasons... cheers for the effort guys
cuz i would like to register our team if we still can..
Signups are closed now, but if this goes well then any new signups that missed out this season will probably replace the lowest ranked teams for the next season.
