For years Canberra, despite being the capital of Australia, has been shunned. But no more. The time has come for Canberra to come into its own. After planning this for months, it has all come together. The date is set. CanCraft will take place.

All information on www.waywardonline.com

Contact: Wayward@WaywardOnline.com

We hope to see you there. Even if you're from Sydney, come on down!

Hmm intriguing..

Although from the last canberra cup that was held online, the field will be strong... Well strong compared to my Tier 5 ability

Although luckly for me I already have the Theron and Mouse pad, they are awesome

Looks fun, will probably be going and driving down. Have space in car for Sydney peeps who want to drive down and come back on the SAME day.

Lemme know if you're interested

edit: Have space for 6 people but 2 are tiny backseats which would be extremely uncomfortable - so most likely only 4 unless people like to be uncomfortable

================================================

ALSO you will have to get up super early and get home super late, since the drive is AT LEAST 3 hours 15 mins

Sydney -> Canberra + return
Total fuel cost = $100

7 Seater car (2 seats in the back with very limited legroom, pretty uncomfy unless you're tiny)
4 people + me = $20 each
6 people + me = $15 each

Driver: cRfenner

Lemme know if you're interested (not 100% yet)

edit: would cost about $130 in fuel there and back from my first calculation (need to check on this) so would divide it equally by however many people wanna come along. Have space for 6 people but 2 are tiny backseats which would be extremely uncomfortable - so most likely only 4 unless people like to be uncomfortable

4 people + me = $25 each
6 people + me = $18 each

My experience is just over a full tank will get you to and from sydney. Great initiative though, any

members going to jump on this bandwagon?

Soundwave is there a limit to the amount of competitors? I'm not sure how many pc's the barracks has but if need be I can happily bring and play on my laptop

Barracks has 50 PCs, with a few not working, so I'll say 45. If we end up getting that many people we'll have a Ro32 as well. There's no limit, but if we get more than 45 it means some people will be sitting out while others play.

If there's any changes, website will be updated and all participants emailed. I'll post here too.

1litre = $1.5
3.8 * 1.5 = 5.7
distance to canberra = 286
286 / 5.7 = $50

Close too it. Parking on London circuit which is probably the closest place to park. Note that the barracks is actually in a bus interchanges so you can't drop people out the front or drive directly past it.

Parking should be free being a Sunday and Canberra but it might cost you $10 at the most since it is in the heart of the city.

Edit: best place to park should be
176 London Circuit Canberra.
That is where I will be parking.

No, although my brother and I plan to cast every game after the tournament. Replays will also be released.

Streaming is not going to happen at this point, however it is something being looked into and hopefully it will be possible but it depends on the capability of the The Barracks among other things. It will be looked into and information provided closer to the date.

If you want to get the 65mb (pdf) version of the poster, we can give the file to the Barracks and you can grab it from there. That's if you do want to print it.

We have several glossy A3 and A4 posters that we are putting around Canberra to help spread the word, and have been in touch with the gaming club at ANU.

Unfortunately, Saturdays cannot be done because the Barracks would have to charge at least twice as much on Saturdays.

Also, I know for sure that at least a few bronze and other lower level players will be there.

Congratulations to SQLNinja, who won CanCraft as well as $200 and some gear generously provided by Thermaltake.

1st: SQLNinja
2nd: SQLHuT
3rd: Nv.YoonYJ
4th: JerryToT (just short of prizes, Jerry. Better luck next time.)

Thanks to everyone who showed up, especially the guys who drove down from Sydney. Even though some of us may not have done as well as we wanted (I know I didn't...I fell just short of the Top 16, which was my goal.), I'm sure we can all agree (well...hopefully!) that it was a fun experience.

As for replays, there was an issue with the PCs where if they get 'logged out' they delete all data and revert to how they were previously, so many of the replays were lost. However, we only lost 2 Bo3s from the Top 16 bracket and half of the games from the first 5 matches. We'll release a replay pack in the near future.

Was nice meeting all of you.

EDIT: Would also like to give a shoutout to mGGSouth, who is only 13, but despite his young age he showed great skill by making Top 8.
