The tournament is organized and streamed by Sleeping Drone TV, who stores all VODs on Twitch. For now, they will be full-length VOD's due to time constraints of SleepyDrone (aka WakingDrone). The $25 Prize Pool is split between 1st and 2nd place, $15 to 1st, and $10 to 2nd. 3rd place receives no prize currently, but this may change in future tournaments.

Regarding Streaming: The Sleeping Drone TV stream will have a 3-minute delay. We find this sufficient for helping to prevent stream-cheating via the official stream. If you have your own personal stream, you stream at your own risk - At this time, the Sleeping Drone organizers have neither the time nor the resources to force re-game or to disqualify anyone due to stream cheating as it is inherently difficult to prove.
Regarding Seeding/Brackets: The brackets/seeds will be automagically scrambled before the tournament begins. The bracket prior to tournament start is NOT REFLECTIVE of the final beginning bracket at tournament start. As well, as we do not seed according to apparent player skill (as that is impossible for us to determine ahead of time, as anyone and everyone can sign up), seeds are ENTIRELY random. Be prepared to face anyone that has signed up for the tournament at tournament start.
tl;dr: I'm looking forward to seeing you at my fifth consecutive tournament. Stuff is going up on time this week! Yay!
