Please read the rules if this is your first time entering

+ [ Rules, Regulations and Tournament Eligibility] +

Tournament Eligibility:
You must be legitimately in the Bronze, Silver or Gold league (1v1 - SEA license) and you must be active on ladder.
Everyone will be checked for typical smurf activity designed to keep them in a lower league.
Anyone found to be smurfing will be added to the BSG Hall of Shame so everyone can be aware of their shameful acts.

Rules

• You must contact your opponent on Battle.net preferably by being in chat channel "sc2seaBSG" to play your match
• You have ~15 minutes to start your Round 1 match; anybody that is not contactable after 10 minutes will be disqualified. This 10 minute timeout rule applies throughout the tournament.
• You must play your main ladder race throughout tournament.
• The only race switch allowed is to and you may not switch again.
• Observers: Tournament admins or official streamers are always allowed and the only ones to observe your game
• Problems/Questions: When in doubt about anything, contact an admin
• Reporting Results: After the match has been played, you must report the result by pm to an admin
• Disconnects: If a player disconnects, the game must be replayed. If a player disconnects for a second time, his opponent will be awarded a free-win. A win may also be awarded if the player that disconnected was significantly behind at the time of disconnection. Contact an admin if you would like your game/replay reviewed.
• Pauses: You must notify your opponent in game if you wish to pause. This pause should not exceed 5 minutes. Excessive pausing in game may lead to disqualification.
• Bad Manner will not be tolerated. Anyone caught BMing will be warned. Further offenses will lead to disqualification. Any racist, hateful or excessively derogatory language may lead to removal without warning. We are a friendly group and we'd like to see it stay that way.
• Replays: Should be saved at least until the following tournament. Anyone asked by admins to provide a replay who cannot do so will be disqualified.
• Anyone suspected of smurfing (playing another person's account, manipulating ladder to be in a lower league) will be thoroughly investigated and if found guilty, prizes will be stripped and they will be reported to Blizzard and added to the Hall of Shame.

Stupid Rule:

You must play the race that your profile says you have played most.

Why is it stupid?

1. The 'most played race' includes custom games.
2. The 'most played race' comes from all of your games. Meaning if you played one race for 5 seasons then another for 3 you must play the one 3 seasons in the past.
3. It disadvantages people trying out new races which is common at BSG levels
4. No other tournament has that rule

Quick Comments

AsylumofSouls:

Using the race on 1v1 ladder negates this reasoning.

Who's with me?

The rules are in place to help combat smurfing.
We can let them play any race they want if you like but I'll pull all the prizes.

If you are going to all the trouble of getting a higher level player to play on your account then I'm sure it would be easy to find one of your race.

On top of that a diamond/masters player will beat a gold with any race.

There's too much of a restriction on players that switch race

[ToRMaverick]

Well it is with a sad heart that I announce that I have been demoted back to gold.

This is of no surprise to me as I havnt been very active with another game coming out over the last few months (its name shall never be mentioned). To be honest, gold is actually my level of play and even loosing to silvers on the ladder.

I do however look forward to the BSG as this is where the fun is. Cant say I have ever made it past the first or second round but hey... you never know. I hope nobody pulls the smurf card as it is not in my competitive nature and I will be laddering like a SOB to get back into plat as soon as I can. In the mean time, look forward to playing in the next BSG (if you'll have me).

Hello all

I want to apologize to all players, Admins and Fellow co-casters.
Unfortunately Last nights stream did not run smoothly due to multiple reasons.

1. After the first two rounds unfortunately I Had reached my bandwidth for the month (100gb) and Big pond had cut my internet and implemented my cap speed . (128kb/s) With speed like this it is almost impossible to stream a quality stream to the viewers and therefore had to switch the stream over to Bradfan's Stream.

2. Sickness.
Usually for the BSG's i am able to be really excited for and shows in my casting , Building excitement and tension in my casting us something I try to strive for each week. Unfortunately over the past two days i have been getting progressivly worst in health and have managed to come down with cold/Flu (something like that) so i was unable to really perform at a acceptable level.

Due to this I unfortunately had to leave Breadfan after casting a game with him after the stream issues.
I would like to say that in no way is this admins fault or Breadfan fault for any issues that happened last night and i apologize deeply for all issues that happened during last night BSG.

Hopefully over the coming weeks i will be able to bring my BSG casting back to acceptable level which I try to produce week in and week out.

Thank you all
and remember GLHF!
