</ul><br><b><span style="font-size:16px;">Prizes</span></b>

<div class="bbcode_indent" style="margin-left:4em;">The Competitive and OCN-Only Divisions will be the only two with prizes, the Casual Division is intended as a for fun experience for players who simply enjoy playing StarCraft 2 with no pressure. We realized early on that including any sort of prize for the lower division put it at risk of attracting people using smurfed or alternate accounts which would ruin the entire division's purpose.</div>

Tournament Format</span></b>

<div class="bbcode_indent" style="margin-left:4em;">Each Division will be run as its own independent tournament. As stated earlier OCN members may participate in either the Competitive or Casual Divisions in addition to the OCN-Only division. We'll release an official ruleset closer to the actual start of match play once we can give definite answers as to how many groups and rounds there will be. In general the basic structure of a group stage progressing into qualifiers will not be changed.</div>

===IMPORTANT NOTICE===<br>

A ruleset will be posted once we have a proper idea of how many participants we'll have for each division. <a class="bbcode_url" href="http://www.overclock.net/t/1369723/tournament-overclock-net-league-of-legends-challenge-2-000-in-prizes">In last month's League of Legends Challenge</a> we started out with a ruleset but ended up having to change pretty much the entire thing based on the incredibly large turnout we got. Since we hate guessing we're simply going to wait before announcing a schedule or any other precise details.
