Server
· All games must be played on the SEA/AUS Battle.net server.
· All warm up games on the tournament computers must be played on SEA/AUS Battle.net server.
Equipment
· Each player is allowed to bringing your own equipment (keyboard & mouse). Equipment provided on site is a computer and a monitor.
· No macro functions on keyboards/mice are allowed to be used in any tournament
games.
Game Preparations
· When scheduled, an administrator will tell the player which computer to use.
· Every player will only get 10 minutes to warm up by the computer. Once this time has
passed the player must be ready to start playing the tournament match. If a player
arrives late his warm up time will be shortened until the start time of the tournament
match.
Timekeeping
· Every player has to be at the tournament area at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start of the warm up period.
· The starting time of any tournament match is not flexible, if a player only arrives to the
tournament area five minutes before the tournament match is supposed to start, the
player will not get more than five minutes to warm up.
· 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.
· The players are allowed a 5 minute break between the games in a tournament match.
· Administrators reserve the right to change these timings if circumstances require it.
Disconnects and computer failure
· If a game is interrupted by a computer failure 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.
· 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.
· All replays need to be sent in to tournament administrator after the match is finished.
· Official tournament replay packages will be made, until they are published, no replays
from the tournament are allowed to be shared with the public.
Every tournament game will be played on maps from the tournament map pool only. The player starting the map picking process will be decided through an administrators coin flip each game loser choose the next map
Punishments
· Should a player purposely attempt to sabotage the games, another player or an
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.
New Rules
The Scroll wheel trick is not allowed to be used in the tournament
Although I dont want to make it a strict rule, i believe there needs to be a gentleman's agreement to not watch replays between maps, This is apparently a rule enforced by major tournaments and as such should be adhered to here.
There will be 30 ROCCAT Beanies to GIVEAWAY on the day!

Motherfucking roccat getting involved with sea i love you! (this is all in caps but sc2sea doesn't let me!)
I have basically full Roccat deckout, just waiting to have enough money to buy Roccat Arvo as I found the Valo to bulky. Really wish I was in Sydney to try this out but gl to everyone involved! ^^
Second edit, They're also a HUGE sponsor of HomeStory Cup, Takesen has like a cabinet full of their stuff in his house during casts, and they were giving away Roccat stuff at the HSC Barcraft. I absolutely can't wait to see ROCCAT involved in more stuff in SEA

And, can we make it so that if your name isn't Pig, or Mafia, or tGun, or anyone along those lines you automatically get a prize too? Right now i wish i was diamond so i actually have a shot of winning something instead of just paying 10 dollars to get raped.

Hey Chris, if i got demoted to diamond do i playin the amature league?
Standard ruling for other tournaments is if you've finished a season in a higher league i.e Masters then you cannot participate in a GPD tournament.
Chris is in Europe for who knows how long so you might be waiting a while for an executive answer.

For some reason I'm Platinum on SEA and Diamond on NA. That's what not playing for 9 months does to you, I guess. Terran, signing for the amateur competition.
Thanks.

What's the policy on spectators?
Also, since I'm a laptop gamer, I only really have a gaming mouse and no keyboard.. am I able to use one of the keyboards that City Hunter provides? The post only says that the equipment on site is a monitor/computer.
Also.. are headphones supplied or do we bring our own?

Just spent all night playing guild war 2 in preparation for this. After all of the effort I've put in I think I should be able to take the amateur tournament easily.

Flash wins PD below with out dropping a map..
seems legit.
SpiritLynn and dcF also hadnt dropped a map before facing him, Lynn cited his losses to having terrible TvT and Erasmus said he did silly things based off that info I dont think Flash is a smurf, If your cR boy had set his alarm we wouldnt be having this convo

FaDeBadger: *"Any basis to that accusation?"
Many people were talking about it after the event.. Just thought it was strange.. and I hear it was a new account.
