· Should a player be late (less than 10 minutes) for the start of a tournament match, the
player will forfeit the first game of the match.
· Should the player be more than 10 minutes late for the start of a tournament match,
the player will forfeit the match.

may rule the game in favour of said player. Should the game be too close to call, it will
be replayed.
· If a game disconnects for another reason and the game is heavily favoured to the extent
that the game would definitely have been won by one player an administrator may rule
the game in favour of said player. Should the game be too close to call, it will be
replayed.
Complaints
· If a player wants to make a complaint about a game result, the player has to tell the
administrator assigned to the match, before the next match starts.
· If a player wants to object a game result ruled by an administrator, this has to take place
before the next game.
Replays
· After every game, both players must save the replay of the game.

administrator in any way, the player will be disqualified.
· Bad behaviour towards other players, administrators or the audience may result in a
disqualification.
In game rules
Chatting
· No excessive chatting is allowed in the game. If the need to chat occurs the players must
be straight to the point and polite. Ideally the only chat in each game will be at start up
and when a player surrenders the game.
· No chat is ever permitted from a player to an outside party during a tournament match,
or from an outside party to the player, unless the outside party is an administrator.
· Typing "GG" in the game means that the player surrenders, and the
opponent wins. After it is typed the player must leave the game immediately.
Game settings

· Every player must set their online status to Busy.
· Every player must turn off notifications.
· Every player must use full screen.
Bugs and Misuse
· No abuse of bugs is allowed in any tournament match.
· No player is allowed to look at the opposite player at any time during a tournament
match.
Pausing
· If a player must pause the game due to technical difficulties the player must if possible
tell the opponent about this before pausing. After pausing the player must let an
administrator know.
· If a game is paused without a reasonable explanation such as a technical difficulty the
game might result in a forfeit.
Racepicking
· Each player signs up to the tournament with one set race. If a player wants to change
the race before a match, an administrator must be notified, and the new race must be
played throughout the whole match. The administrator must be told at least 30 minutes
before scheduled match start, or as soon as the previous match ends.
· The administrator will then tell the opponent.
· As soon as a player joins or creates a game he is to choose his playing race.
Draws and stalemates
· If a player deliberately plays for a stalemate, administrators hold the right to decide the
outcome of the game.
· If there is a natural stalemate the game will be replayed.

I'll be there! Was really happy with how the last one was run. I think having ingame sound is probably more important then casting from the venue though >.<

Being at Chinatown I can test before the event and make sure its working, couldn't do that at Chatswood.
yeah move Masters Cup back/forward a week? its hard for players to attend both!
Nah wont change MC date. Has been every 4th Sunday for a year now. Besides good chance it could bump into/clash with another event if i did so, or i'd be busy that week, and would screw up the 3 GPD into MC monthly system. Keeping it as works. Shame for those Sydney players who might miss out on playing both this time, but the MC is for all of SEA. Dont mean to derail your thread or anything here lol, wasn't the point of my post, more in reflection of i want to come up for a Sydney tourney some time.
Shall try and come up to Sydney CH event in March/April maybe? All good

After discussing this with both people in the community and the shop we've decided to move the event back 1 week, it will now take place on the 19th of Feb (ill update the poster tomorrow), This is so it doesnt clash with Masters Cup

Awesomesauce! Tourney is during my uni break!!! Is it ok if I show up on the day and register or do I have to pre-register before hand? Cheers
My rule is, if you are a regular of City Hunter events Ill let you pay on the day because I trust you but if are new Ill ask you to preregister, purely because there are limited spaces and I dont want to turn someone away when theres people who sign up and 'pay on the day' only to not bother showing up

Ok, I have signed up on some prior CH sc2 tourneys but were not able to attend on the day (mainly due to excessive consumption of alcomohol the night prior to the event lewl), I'll wait closer to the date and then register then
I really want to sign up for this just for the fun of it even though I know I have no hope of making it anywhere into the tournament. Either way I'll be making a big effort come out and watch if I decide to not humiliate myself by trying to play.
Haha silly PiG. It got changed ages ago cause it clashed with Master's Cup.

Excuse my noob arse, (you gotta admit it's pretty nice though, right?) but this registration is for players, yeah? Not specs? Asrathiel and I will be there spec'ing (unless theres a spot open on the day somebody wants a warm up against a gold scrub? :P)
Ok I totally didn't see Asrath's post there when I was writing.

I'm pretty sure I can make it, I'd like to sign up just to maybe play a game and then get to spectate some truly skilled players, I'm getting a friend of mine to come along, but he isn't interested in signing up to play.
I was just under the assumption it would be all masters+gm...
I guess it would be an experience :P
It is mostly and . But there are always a few , and occasionally some and .
We get rolled but we don't care.

Its seeded to make it fair, basically the bsg guys dont progress but most stick around after lunch playing customs, 4v4 or one of the other 100 games we have installed on our PCs

It would be good to verse more people around my skill level but regardless I find these fun enough to make the trip up from the A.C.T.
Yeah unfortunately I dont have the resources to hold multiple tier comps, but if SCII keeps growing the way it does I can see myself justifying two comps (naturally the BSGPD would have a much lower prize pool to try and prevent smurfing)

Are the groups out yet. i wouldnt mind konwing my opponents =P. Come on all diamond.
I would also like to know who will be beating me. Usually he posts the groups once sign ups are full. Is this one slow in filling up?

Also, Rich is 8th on the above chart.. and GM - why is he not seeded? shouldn't he be top in one of the groups then?... or are seedings done on league and league rank?..

Because people like tgun, pokerface, Ninja and HuT etc all have better results in ESL Cups, SC2SEA CO's, Masters Cups, other LANs etc
I do it based on ladder rank, activity, and recent results, Riichard is tied for 8th most successful person at City Hunter LANs by coming 3rd in a tournament 12 months ago, its hardly relevant today as much as I the guy otherwise you have guys like Incontrol who end up forever in the championship group stage purely because he came 4th in the 1st tournament lol

Chris, is there ever going to be an online component to these tournaments. Its so annoying not being able to participate in LAN's like this and meet everyone :/
I think what Chris was trying to say is that there's never been any mention of seeding, or that CH was keeping score on who won what, so to just whip it out at the last second and go 'oh, here's how we're seeding this event' could be seen as "foul play" based on how the brackets ended up looking (like chris was out to favour people). If people knew seeding would apply to future events, they'd try harder/practice harder etc.
******* HEROIC run by PiG. Lower bracket extraordinare. Shoutout to MixIdiot, Syntox and ManicMarine for their efforts
Here's an updated list of results (Top 3 only), keep in mind this is only for funsies/ bragging rights and this only have some relevance in how groups are split up in comps ^_^
