Hey All!

It's time for the 5th Hairy Bash! As with the previous Hairy Bash, the top 3 competitors will automatically qualify for the Hairy Smash!

SPECIAL NOTE!!!

Originally I was planning to have 6 Hairy Bash tournaments, one every 2 months, and then a final Hairy Smash at the end of the year. However this seems a bit squeezy, considering the OSC finals are also happening at the start of December. So... the 6th Hairy Bash will no longer take place, instead the Hairy Smash will take it's place sometime in December/Early January. (Will change a bit so I have a couple of weeks after the 2014 OSC points have been finalised)

I will post a new forum page detailing all the information about the Hairy Smash once the 5th Hairy Bash has completed.

Prize Pool:

1st Place - 125 OSC points + $100 AUD + Hairy Smash spot
2nd Place - 85 OSC points + $50 AUD + Hairy Smash spot
3rd Place - 50 OSC points + $30 AUD + Hairy Smash spot
4th Place - 30 OSC points + $20 AUD
5-8th Place - 5 OSC points
9-16th Place - 2.5 OSC points

Dates:

Saturday, 18th October 2014, 12:00pm AEDT Start Time

Maps:

+ [Maps] +

Total list of maps available for this tournament (Current Season 3 map pool)

Foxtrot Labs LE
Catallena LE
Nimbus LE
King Sejong Station LE
Overgrowth LE
Merry Go Round LE
Deadwing LE

Players will take it in turns to veto one of the above maps, until only one is left, and then that map will be the first played.

The player with the lowest seed (closest to 1) according to Challonge will pick first. Seeding will be done by OSC/SEA Power Rankings.

If you are not ranked on the OSC/SEA Power Rankings your seed will be random.

Following the first game, the loser can choose the map for the next game out of the remaining maps in the pool. (i.e. Maps cannot be repeated.)

Signing Up:

All players are welcome to sign up, regardless of league.

Post your NA ID, Account most known by (If different from registered account, eg SEA, KR ID), Team/Clan and Country.

Example: TossImba.111 ( Scarlett ) - Team Acer - Canada

Signups will close at 11.45am AEDT on Saturday 18th October, Brackets will be finalised on challonge.com shortly after.

If more than 64 players have signed up, then the remaining players will be placed on a waiting list, and may be invited to compete if any of the top 64 players are absent.

Rules:

Important rules regarding prize distribution in this section, please read!

+ [Rules] +

All participating players should log on and join the "Hairy Bash" group in Starcraft 2.

If a player is more than 15 minutes late in the first bracket, they may be replaced by a player in the waiting list. If there are no players in the waiting list, they can be counted as forfeiting that game. (At the discretion of their opponent)

If a player is more than 15 minutes late for their game after the first bracket, they can be counted as forfeiting that game. (At the discretion of their opponent)

If you and your opponent wish to leave the Hairy Bash group while playing your round, or wish to move to a different server, you must notify the admin first. This is to avoid the circumstance where both you and your opponent are mistakenly marked as late/afk, and being counted as forfeiting your round.

If a player disconnects, then the game should be continued using the Recover Game feature. If the disconnecting player does not return online within 15 minutes, then they can be counted as losing that series. (Again at the discretion of their opponent)

REPLAYS SHOULD BE EMAILED by the winner to xhairymuppetx@yahoo.com.au for Quarter Finals and onwards. The replays should be renamed to be of the format "PLAYER1 vs PLAYER2 - MAP - GAME#". (Or at least there should be some indication in the e-mail of the map order played)

The prize money will be distributed via PayPal. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place winners should message the administrator with their PayPal details (e-mail) after the tournament has concluded. Winnings will be sent out in the following week.

!!!IMPORTANT!!! As my main motivation for running these tournaments is to cast the replays on my YouTube channel, obtaining the replays from the winning players is my highest priority. In keeping with this, the distribution of the prize money via PayPal will be dependent upon the submission of the replays to xhairymuppetx@yahoo.com.au by the winning player. Replays can be submitted as part of the tournament, or any time soon after the conclusion of it.

OSC points will be awarded by an administrator of the Oceanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series after the conclusion of the tournament.

Very sorry for no-showing in the tournament today, I should have unsigned myself up. Hope it didn't mess with the bracket too much. Gl to all those playing!

Quick Comments

	SLCN.Wally:	I blame you for me getting pet first round. you are not forgiven
	Hairymuppet:	Sorry Wally... I only put Pet next to you because I thought you were a no-show :( But yeah Pet ended up in your QF spot

The Hairy Bash has finished!!!

1st Place goes (once again) to Petraeus... who has now won 4/5 of the Hairy Bashes run so far. :P Although Arthur in 2nd place definitely gave him a run for his money...

3rd place is rounded out with Spear, our winner from the 4th Hairy Bash. (But potentially only because Petraeus didn't show up for that one. :P) And KingkOng found himself in 4th place!

No new seeds for the Hairy Smash, but 4 players cementing themselves in as some the best. Looking forward to the Hairy Smash, I'm currently thinking early Jan for this to run, more concrete plans to come out in a couple of weeks.

Thanks again everyone who joined in... and grats to the prize winners!!!

[Hairymuppet]

A quick reminder also (as per the message up the top) that there will not be a Hairy Bash #6, as it will probably clash too closely with the Hairy Smash, and all the other awesome tournaments that will probably be run in December.
