I miss the BSG Open. So here I am in an attempt to see if the tournament can live again! Please note this is NOT the BSG Open as organised in the ol' days!
Date:
Saturday August 2 2014.
Time:
8pm AEST Sydney time
02 august 2014 8:00 PM AEST
Location:
SEA Server, Group BSGBassFishOpen PLEASE ENSURE YOU JOIN THE GROUP AND NOT A CHAT CHANNEL
For my first couple attempts at organising a BSG tournament the only prize will be bragging rights Help me make this a success by signing up and I will negotiate with a few buddies to provide some free coaching for you!
Or if you are a Protoss/Zerg player Id be happy to provide the coaching if you like!
You must contact your opponent on Battle.net preferably by being in chat channel "BSGBassFishOpen" to play your match
You have ~10 minutes to start your 1st match; anybody that is not contactable after 10 minutes will be disqualified. This 10 minute timeout rule applies throughout the tournament.
You must play your main 1v1 ladder race throughout tournament.
Observers: Tournament admins or official streamers are always allowed and the only ones to observe your game
Problems/Questions: When in doubt about anything, contact an admin
Reporting Results: After the match has been played, you must report the result by pm to me.
Disconnects: If a player disconnects, use the 'Resume from Replay' feature to continue the game. If the player has gone offline completely, inform an admin and wait 10 minutes for them to return.
Pauses: You must notify your opponent in game if you wish to pause. This pause should not exceed 5 minutes. Excessive pausing in game may lead to disqualification.
Bad Manner will not be tolerated. Anyone caught BMing will be warned. Further offenses will lead to disqualification. Any racist, hateful or excessively derogatory language may lead to removal without warning. We are a friendly group and we'd like to see it stay that way.
Replays: Should be saved at least until the following tournament. Anyone asked by admins to provide a replay who cannot do so will be disqualified.
Anyone suspected of smurfing (playing another person's account, manipulating ladder to be in a lower league) will be thoroughly investigated and if found guilty, prizes will be stripped and they will be reported to Blizzard and added to the Hall of Shame.
RANDOM players must either play as RANDOM or pick one race for the entire tournament

I might have a crack at coaching later down the road or something, I'm too nervous with new people right now
I'd be really keen to help out in future though haha..
