Moo, I'm going to organize an SEN Tourney in honor of the opening of v4.
There will be as many participants as there can be made out of a power of two. (16, 32, etc) If the number is close (15, 30, etc), some players may be randomly advanced to the next round free. If the number is slightly exceeding (17, 35, etc), then the last players to join will be entered as substitutes. Should under 16 entrants apply before the deadline date, the tournament will be cancelled. The deadline for entry is Wednesday, September 8. To enter, send a PM to Mini Moose 2707, and be sure to include the Battle.net name you will be playing under in the tournament.
Rules
Game Reporting.
It is the winner's responsibility to report the results of a matchup. Replays must be sent to Mini Moose 2707 through PM, at minimoose2707 at nyc.rr.com, or somehow else gotten to him. If a replay is not submitted, the game is considered never to have occurred!!
Games.
Matches will be a single 1 on 1 game, all to be played on Lost Temple ONLY. Player's Race is to be determined directly before each match, and is not set. "Random" is an acceptable race and is allowed. Players will be selected to play each other at random.
Observers are permitted in a match, but must leave if requested by any of the players. Should an observer be in the tournament and interfere with the match, they will be immediately removed from the tournament and the match discounted. The player creating each game has the right to ban anyone who enters besides his opponent before the game starts. A decisive victory need not be won. Should a player be using bad manner tactics such as floating around as Terran, sticking Pylons in the corner, they will be removed from the tournament. Bad Manner will result in removal from the tournament. Viable strategies and tactics such as "Offensive Gas" (building on opponents geyser in early game), DT rushing, and "Manner Pylon" (building a pylon to block opponent's mining) are not considered badmanner.
Hacks/Bugs.
No hacks, spoofers, or other third party programs are allowed. Bugs and Glitches found inside the Brood War game are not to be used. Should a replay contain evidence pointing to players hacking or abusing bugs and found guilty, they will be immediately removed from the tournament without question. Hold position Lurkers and allied Mines are allowed.
Times.
First round will begin on the entry deadline or the day after. From that point, each pair of players will have until the following Thursday to complete their games. It is the responsibility of the players to arrange their matches. Should the set of games not be complete in the time allocated, the case will be examined and one or both entrants will be disqualified. The next round will begin immediately after the conclusion of one round, but not after the exact one week date arrives. Games played before a round begins will not be discounted (unless the other player is unable attend his match during the round).
Eligibility.
Mini Moose 2707, the tournament organizer, is not eligible to enter. To be eligible, you must have registered your account on StarEdit.net on or before August 31, 2004. Those registered after that date cannot be entered into the tournament.
Prizes
Isn't this what we all wanted? Prizes are to be awarded as follows...
Semi-Finalists (2) - 250 Minerals
Losing Finalist (1) - 500 Minerals
Champion - 1000 Minerals
Total Prize award is 2000 Minerals. Additional prize donations will be accepted if you have Minerals to throw away.
So, time to train up, and get going.

Dont u think u can use map settings on the lost temple (Gamei) so you can be an observer instead of people giving you fake replays you have to shift through? 
Anyways! This is the perfect contest for me to blow (I mean donate) my money on! I will be donating 300 minerals.
edit: Actually... I don't think I CAN donate money.. I'll just sit here wastefully until the donation button works again.

QUOTE(Mini Moose 2707)
Player's Race is to be determined directly before each match
nvm then, it just made me think that our race was determined other than us just choosing it, sry
O yea, will we be playing on the normal Blizzard LT, or on like neo lost temple or wcg lost temple, and all the more fiar variants?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mini Moose 2707 on 2004-09-01 at 10:42:39
You can use whatever LT you both agree upon. My standard is TOST. I like the briefing.
