Hey guys,
This is an open level tournament that you can register regardless of where you are (with some caveats).
There will be at LEAST $250 in cash prizes split between the top 4 players and probably some shirts too. In addition, there will be some $270 in cash prizes awarded for things that don't necessarily involve winning, such as K/D ratio on workers and maybe race specific ones (to be determined prior to the week of play). Since the league will be run with a Swiss ranking system, you don't have to worry about a bronze league-er facing a grandmaster like with some other open-league tournaments. Best of all, we're all friends here. This is by all means a casual tournament that just happens to give out prizes.
If you aren't interested yet, you might need to read the above paragraph again. The only requirements are that you need to be able to play at the venue on finals day if you are in the top 4 of the regular season. You don't need to be from Ohio and you don't need to be from the USA if you feel like travelling. NEW: We're implementing something we call the "Bounty Hunter" system. If you KNOW you can not be there for the live finals, you can sign up to be a "Bounty Hunter". As a Bounty Hunter, you are not eligible for the main $250 prize pool, but you can still compete for the weekly objective prizes that we will have. There will be 3 each week and each give out $10. That's $270 in bounty in addition to the $250 that's reserved for the winner of the tournament that is willing to come to the live event.
All you need to do is register at our website at Cleveland eSports and sign up for the tournament via this link or the link in the menu on the left-hand side. If you have ANY issues registering at the website (it's still a work in progress, so issues are far from unlikely) email me at theczarofall@gmail.com, and I will personally get you registered and try to fix any issues with the site ASAP. Sign ups close Feb. 22, 2015
Thanks for you time,
