may rule the game in favour of said player. Should the game be too close to call, it will
be replayed.

Registration is now open you can rego 1 of two ways: Instore: Register at any City Hunter store Online: Buy 2 "$5 rego tickets Here then email / PM your sc2 info and your invoice number for referencing
Also Wanted to make a quick announcement, today I was contacted by the Author N Y Saleh, he is a writer
of Young Adult Fiction and he and he's 3 sons love SCII, Anyway he has graciously donated the follow to the
prize pool!
1st- $50 CASH, 1 Signed Copy of "Search for the Avatar"
2nd- $25 CASH, 1 Signed Copy of "Search for the Avatar"
3rd- 1 Signed Copy of "Search for the Avatar"
QUICK SYNOPSIS: It was a dark night, the ancient pyramids of Giza only just visible in the light of the sprawling
city of Cairo. Suddenly black storm clouds appeared, and the light of the city seemed to just get swallowed
up. There was a flash of lightning and Zak, a recently orphaned young boy, appeared deep within a secret
chamber of Khufu’s pyramid. Zak and his apparent aunt and uncle have come from the planet Terrah to seek
safety,
a life free from further tragedy... but Zak will not be so lucky. He is hunted all the way to a farm in remote
New South Wales where he lives until the age of 14.
Here, Zak is loved and yet alone, powerful and yet helpless, intelligent and yet ignorant, wanting to give friendship
and yet
without friends. What good is there in safety if there is no life? Soon Zak must choose as his life is thrown
into confusion as death follows him. But who is responsible and why? There are no bad guys, no good guys
and the only person Zak truly trusted confesses to the most unimaginable crime Zak could have conceived.
And everything revolves around one word, an ancient word, a word that predates computers by thousands
of years... Avatar.
Join Zak as his preconceptions are shattered and he must assume nothing as he uncovers a system of suffering
and manipulation beyond anything he dared imagine. Can good people deliberately commit evil
acts so good can result?
So anyway I was just PMed by a member of the community who wishes to refereed to only as "The Bronze Superstar" he mentioned that since the event is around 1 month from Christmas and he nearly always spends over $300 at JBHIFI on presents, he will buy the Gift Cards off the top 3 for cash if they so chose at the rate of $1 for $1.
I wish to advise that this person is in no way affiliated with this event or City Hunter.
PS
I am NOT The Bronze Superstar

Is it possible to just reserve and pay on the day?
I dont really like doing this as history has shown atleast 50% of people that ask to pay on the day dont end up going, I do however have a 1 strike your out policy I will accept payment on the day but if a person doesnt show I wont afford them the same opportunity again,
So if your 100% sure you can make it ill allow it

Good idea. I've remember the original SCII tournament at cityhunter where everyone had to pay and still there was about 40% no-shows.

yeah all 4 of those players deserve the best chance to get to the Top 8, its alot fairer to put them together than have them face off against Tgun, Glade, PiG etc for a spot

no korean at burwood but if we go Strathfield there's a billion Korean BBQ restaurants there.... WITH AWESOME CHICKEN!
Apparently theres one above the Cafe or across the road (I can remember) but its probably better we go to Strathfield anyway cause its easier for people to get home from there ^_^

Parking could be tough. There is unlikely to be any parking on Burwood Road, your best bet would be to try and park on one of the side streets, Waimea, George or Deane St.
It would be a lot easier to just catch the train, CityHunter is literally about 100 metres from the station.

only 1st from groups going through is weird, if you lose 1 game in your groups its pointless to continue playing as only the person who goes 5-0 in the group will proceed? or am i wrong

That's wrong, you can top the group with a loss.

Woops aye, was being silly. Still pointless playing out the rest of my games if i lose to mafia
This is something Im trying to see if theres a solution for if its top 16 double elim the event goes on waaaaay tooo long you made the point of if I lose to Mafia theres no point playing the rest of your games, well say the top 2 go through your 1st opponent will be either tgun, light, glade, pig, iaguz or rossi of which youll also lose to, seems kinda redundant then yes?

Ok Due to an increase number of participation ive changed the groups and the format
people have been seeded into separate groups, the Top two from each group will now advance to a top 16 Double Elimination FINAL, however the 2nd placed person from each group will be automatically regulated to the loser bracket, see the example below!

If you can't fit me in it's alright, I can always come to the next one . I know I tried to sign up really late, so if it's too much trouble I'll understand.
But it's a bit of a long drive for me, so I just need a guarantee whether it's all good or not. Let me know

I can't decide if I would rather lose to Tgun or the previous groups where I had Mafia.
