Brisbane Internet City Starcraft 2 Tournament #1

http://www.facebook.com/events/439545396107889/

Players Are Revealed In the Link below
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...Gc&pli=1#gid=0

VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE [16th Nov]

FORMAT CHANGE : (This is NOW finalized as of 20th November))
Final Format Change :

Starting time has been changed to 10am so the players will need to check-in by 9:30am.

We have allocated more than 16 computers, we will have either 24 or 32 computers. These additional computers are to be set on a lower resolution than the maximum resolution (1920*1080 -> 1680*1050 and some screens will be 1440*900). If players want to change the settings on these computers (will be high texture and everything else on low on these computers), they will be the sole risk taker.

BO3 Double Elimination BUT losers brackets will be BO1. The grand finals will be BO3 * 2.

Please PM me or email me kyungjunim@gmail.com if you have any further questions. I will text everyone who registered tomorrow to make sure if they still want to participate with these changes.

Please check-in by 9:30am, everything else stays the same! Please make sure you bring your own mouse and mousepad at least.

I will be sending a confirmation text to everyone on 21st to see if all 34 players who are registered can make it. If anyone pulls out then I will text people on the waiting list!

As I said before, there will be a few commentators who will be running a stream and this will be shown on 52' TV in the small viewing room (it may be very small depending on how many people will show up to spectate)

IMPORTANT UPDATE :

The registration is now closed as there are more than expected registered participants. However, you can still register yourself in the waiting list. I will be texting everyone on 22nd November to confirm their participation and if someone pulls out or cannot make it anymore, I will put people in the waiting in the order.

UPDATE 1 :

http://www.facebook.com/events/439545396107889/

This will be really important to figure out how many people are actually coming to specate!
I have just created a Facebook event page and it would be great if you help me to figure out the number of spectators. The place is not so big so if there are too many people I would need to RSVP sadly. (Hopefully not)

UPDATE 2 :

There will be a viewing room with 52' TV on the day, so people can spectate. However the room is not so big and depending on the numbers, we might not be able to provide enough chairs or get rid of couches.. I will provide more update on this later

UPDATE 3 :

There will be chips, a bag of popcorn and drinks for sale. Food from outside is welcome but please do not litter them. Otherwise I have to clean them up (LOL TRUE STORY)

PLEASE REGISTER BY SENDING ME AN E-MAIL
(if you do not receive a reply within 48 hours, please tell me on this thread)

kyungjunim@gmail.com
Please send me your Name, In-game name or AKA, Contact Number, Race, League

Other information

Players will be allowed to bring their own equipment (mouse, mousepad, keyboard, headset etc). While some computers are more than capable of running SC2 with the highest settings, we recommend using medium options to prevent any unfortunate events.

There will be at least 14-16 PCs dedicated to running the tournament, players will need to report their results immediately once they are finished and they will be told to either pack up for someone else to use the PC or to stay to play another game. We are aiming for as little downtime as possible, so this is imperative to the smooth running of the tournament.

If you have any inquiries please post in this thread, email me at kyungjunim@gmail.com

I'm looking forward to it!

LNK · Thu, 8th-Nov-2012, 2:25 PM

Hey, sounds awesome. I'll do my best to show up.

I'd just like to point out with the format, if it is double elimination then you shouldn't force a second bo3 for the finals. The reason they have the second BO3 in WCS is because the player who came from open bracket still needs to get his chance to drop to the losers bracket. So, why penalise the guy who has come through the event without dropping a match? Your event though, just my 2 cents.

Thanks guys.

Quick Comments

kyungjunim:

Doing BO3 for the finals is stupid but doing BO5 means we have to increase the map pool. Hence 2x BO3 :D

kyungjunim · Fri, 9th-Nov-2012, 10:00 AM

Balancing act between taking more rego's and the tournament going too long - or keep it small and people miss out

could run groups > double elim top 16 or 8...? Dox would probably know exactly what you can squeeze into a day..

If you've missed out on signing up - you should still come along Breadfan!

City Hunter get their events done in a day and can have up to 48 players, should talk to Chris or even just borrow the format ^_^

**TheGentleman** · Fri, 16th-Nov-2012, 9:47 AM

I'll work out tonight whether I can make it as a spectator. I will update this post.

This is a fantastic initiative btw and thanks for taking the effort to organise it.

kyungjunim · Fri, 16th-Nov-2012, 11:41 AM

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...Gc&pli=1#gid=0

Players are shown.. total 36 participants and a few waiting players.. I might have to change the format. I was originally thinking of 32 people. We are running this tournament on 16 computers so it might take a long time to finish up.

Could do 6 groups with 6 people then into Double Elimination like ChadMann suggested. What do you guys think?

with 36 and 16 PC's.. why not run 8 groups of 5.. then top 2 go through to play off bracket?.. 6 into 16 doesn't roll too ez :S

It starts at 11am right?.. you should enforce everyone check-in at 10:30 or 10:45 and take that extra time to work out the brackets.. Perhaps email everyone a contact they can ring if they are running late but on the way?..

Great idea about the check-in time 10:30 sounds good, I will update that..

I have got couple of advises from FXOFrequency and I will update the format change very soon.

LoboParamilitary · Fri, 16th-Nov-2012, 7:19 PM

I was sad to see registration is closed, I kept putting off emailing because I was busy with work

kyungjunim · Fri, 16th-Nov-2012, 11:44 AM

Or Single Elimination to Double Elimination from RO16?

SanG · Fri, 16th-Nov-2012, 11:45 AM

I'll be in korea and kingkong will be in IEM.

**fray`Alpha** · Fri, 16th-Nov-2012, 8:40 PM

Is there a map pool for this yet? if so I mussed have missed it >.<

mGGDaedalus · Fri, 16th-Nov-2012, 8:58 PM

Yes it's in the OP alpha

kyungjunim · Fri, 16th-Nov-2012, 9:34 PM

FORMAT CHANGE :

It will be BO1 double elimination then from top 8 players, (Players will be sorted and seeded according to their leagues!)

it will be either 1) BO3 double elimination with a fresh bracket 2) BO5 single elimination 3) BO3 single elimination with a fresh bracket

The finals will be BO3 x 2 (or a larger map pool BO5 if both players agree).

Please check-in by 10:30am, everything else stays the same! Please make sure you bring your own mouse and mousepad at least.

I will be sending a confirmation text to everyone on 21st to see if all 34 players who are registered can make it. If anyone pulls out then I will text people on the waiting list!

As I said before, there will be a few commentators who will be running a stream and this will be shown on 52' TV in the small viewing room (it may be very small depending on how many people will show up to spectate)

kyungjunim · Fri, 16th-Nov-2012, 10:09 PM

The format is not totally finalized yet. I can be pretty flexible and wish to work with people who are participating : )

kyungjunim · Sat, 17th-Nov-2012, 12:24 AM

New format will be announced soon.. throw in any suggestions.. it's really hard to determine a format that won't hurt the net cafe and make people happy, especially with 16 PCs allocated.

asdfSchnitzel · Sat, 17th-Nov-2012, 7:28 AM

Maybe instead of making the first round bo1 double elimination, making it bo3 single elimination? That means you can't get cheesed out as easily, and the final bracket has a better representation of skill? Just my 10 cents

kyungjunim · Tue, 20th-Nov-2012, 7:35 AM

I am trying to see if computers I am allocating are capable of running the game at the typical setting (High texture, with others being low). I will announce the new format in the evening. We will also change the starting time to 10am. I will email and text everyone today or tomorrow morning

kyungjunim · Tue, 20th-Nov-2012, 5:39 PM

Final Format Change :

Starting time has been changed to 10am so the players will need to check-in by 9:30am.

We have allocated more than 16 computers, we will have either 24 or 32 computers. These additional computers are to be set on a lower resolution than the maximum resolution (1920*1080 -> 1680*1050 and some screens will be 1440*900). If players want to change the settings on these computers (will be high texture and everything else on low on these computers), they will be the sole risk taker.

BO3 Double Elimination BUT losers brackets will be BO1. The grand finals will be BO3 * 2.

Please PM me or email me kyungjunim@gmail.com if you have any further questions. I will text everyone who registered tomorrow to make sure if they still want to participate with these changes.

**syfChadMann** · Thu, 22nd-Nov-2012, 10:39 AM

yep - got the text.. 90% sure I'll be there..

Also, Check in time strict 9:30 :S then everyone has to sit around for 30 mins.. I know I suggested that check-in.. but that was under the impression you'd be working out what format would be best for those that actually turned up on the day.. But as long as everyone can get access to a PC for some warm up - that should be fine..
