    NOTE: New tournament is this way:  http://www.giantbomb.com/starcraft-ii-wings-of-liberty/61-20674/giant-bomb-starcraft-ii-1v1-community-tournament-2/35-429947/?
           

    Intro

     I was looking at the "I Got Into the SCII Beta" thread, and noticed quite a few of us have gotten into the beta. Now with the codes being handed out with pre-orders, I'm sure even more of us will be in. So, I was thinking, let's have a casual tournament! The prize is glorious bragging rights. You don't really need to have any sort of skill to enter, this is by no means a 'competitive' tournament. However, don't be afraid to enter if you think you're better than all of us.. I'm sure a few of us can give you an even match :)  We may, as suggested, do a 2v2 tournament as well. That would be later on.

    Bracket

     Here's a link to a better and live updating bracket:   http://challonge.com/GBSC2 
    The bracket below may be delayed, and long names are cut off. 
    This is the final bracket.
     
     

    Rules

    While the tournament begins, participants will be in a browser based chat. The link will be posted when the tournament begins. I'll get the matches organized, and anyone who's not currently playing a match can observe another active game, so those of us who are eliminated (by losing two matches) have something to do. The results of each game are to be reported to the chat, and the replays uploaded, using the instructions on the site. If, while unlikely, there are any disputes, the replay file will be used to determine the outcome of the match.  
     
    The semi-finals and final matches will be played best of 3.
      
    Maps will be chosen at random, but the entrants may choose one map to eliminate.

    In case of network problems causing a drop, the dropped opponent may request a rematch if the match was somewhat even.   
     
    Obviously, no cheating or exploits allowed. Everything else goes.

    Schedule

     The tournament will most likely be split up over a few days. Here's a rough schedule: 
    Saturday, May 1: First day of the tournament. Check this post around 1:30 PM CST for specific instructions on how things will go down, and we'll get going around 2:00 PM CST. I'm not sure exactly how many rounds we'll go, but I'd like to get at least two or three rounds done.

    Entering

    Sign-ups are closed. 

    Replays

     Replays will be posted here as matches are concluded:

    Domorin is the winner! Congrats!

    We should wait for Protoss to not be a broken fucking nerfed mess though.  Since the GS Beta Post-Update, they ruined the Protoss...so all games are TvT, TvZ, ZvZ, or PvP.

    What? I don't know what you're talking about, Protoss has been quite good for me. I just placed in gold this morning, playing every game as Protoss. The only change to Protoss in patch 9 was a slight increase in immortal build time. Anyway, thanks for signing up :)

    It doesn't feel right at all.  All the games I play now, I do T...so it turns into TvZ non-stop.  >.>

    One thing that might be problematic, is that Battle.net for SC2 is divided in regions.
    I noticed that when i tried to add people in the "i got the beta" thread it just doesn't work.   
    You can only add and play against people in your own region, blizzard confirms it here.

     Q. Will we be able to play with our friends on other continents like we could in StarCraft's Battle.net?


    A. Currently we do not have plans to integrate friends between regions for launch. In the long run that's definitely something we'll be looking at. 

    So make sure you all are in the same region before you start up this tournament!

     
    Im guessing most of you from the US so i can't participate for example.

    Added a tentative bracket to the first post, along with some more info. When do you all think we should hold the tournament? We could possibly do it this weekend, though maybe we should allow some more time for people to sign up. Let me know what you think.

    In regard to when to hold this thing, you may just need to set a date (like fri/sat/sun of next weekend) and tell everyone that if you cant make it you get DQ or something. Another possible way of doing it is to just have the entrants play each other and send the replay to you harris and you could fraps the replays up onto youtube but that might take a lot of work. I also have finals in a week or two so I'm sure everyone's busy with that stuff but ill do whatever i can to make it!

    I suppose I can sign up now. I will be unable to play until Thursday due to my PC troubles, so only sign me up in a game that will be Thursday or later. If that's impossible, just don't sign me up. 
     
    I don't have an SC2 profile at the moment since the reset, but it will and should be Stalorne.sjschmidt 
     
    Also: I suggest making the first few rounds the best out of 3, the semifinals out of 5, and the finals out of 7. If that's too many games for people we could do first few rounds are one game, semifinals 3, finals 5.

    That would certainly cool - but he's probably hard to get a hold of.

    I'm thinking that the matches should generally be concurrent, and I'm thinking of setting the date for the coming weekend. Perhaps if you're unable to make it, your match could be played out ahead of time. I'll certainly fraps at least the last few matches, and any notable matches.

    It'll definitely be after Thursday, so welcome aboard :) I like your idea of each round spanning multiple games, but I feel like that would take too long. Perhaps we could have the semi-finals and finals be best out of 3.

    I was going to add Brad to the PM for this but it seems you can't. Either the filter just can't find him or the staff have made it so no one can add them to PM's.

    The semis and at least the finals should probably be a best of three, that's how many of the "serious hardcore" tournaments seem to do things. I did send Brad a PM and linked to this thread and suggested he join but who knows if he'll read it. Based on the podcasts it sounds like he's been playing a good bit so he could probably at least compete!

    One match is fine since you're using a double elimination format.  I agree that finals should be best 2 out of 3, and maybe semis.
