After watching the North Americans and Europeans enjoy several open events (or even just more events than us in general) I’ve decided to take matters into my own hands and start a weekly open tournament for the South East Asian server.



Updates will be provided at



WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

- It’s an open tournament so all ranks are free to register

- It will be held every Sunday @ 1PM AEST although the time may change at a later date depending on feedback from the players

- A limit of 64 players is currently enforced but this will be removed in the future

- A prize of $25 USD will be given to first place each week, via PayPal



Hopefully the prizes will increase moving forwards, but at this stage I’m putting the money up to generate some interest. If anyone out there wants to donate / sponsor please let me know at sc2@yyz.com.au



HOW TO PARTICIPATE

At this stage sign-ups will be done via email until a website and automated sign-up system is completed.



You need to email sc2@yyz.com.au with the following information.

Name & Character Code:

Race:

Bnet Email:

Actual Email:



You will receive an email 25 hours prior to the start of the tournament asking you to confirm your place. Confirmation must occur before 12PM AEST of the tournament day or your place in the tournament will be forfeited.



If you register and do not confirm, or confirm and do not show up for the tournament, you will not be eligible to register the following week. Players who do this consistently will be barred from registering altogether.



TOURNAMENT RULES

- SEA Open will run on a single-elimination system with the winner progressing through the bracket while the loser is eliminated

---> All rounds prior to the finals will be played best-of-one on a predetermined map

---> Matches within the top eight (i.e. quarter finals, semi finals and finals) will be played best-of-three using a map-veto system from the weekly pool

- Disconnecting within a game counts as a loss, although the game can be replayed if both players agree. Finals games may be replayed if the admin feels the game was tied at disconnect.

- Use of IRC is not mandatory but highly encouraged, as people on IRC are likely to be favoured in any disputes over unplayed matches

- Observers are not permitted unless both players agree

- A list of streamers will be posted each week – these players should be allowed into games regardless of whether players allow casual observers

- Use of any cheats, hacks, illegal exploits or bugs will count as a default loss
