The Vancouver Starcraft 2 open is to be postponed until further notice.
We are deciding to postpone the event because all criticism as well as questions have been heard and unfortunately The time line we had to work with to try to rectify some concerns was just not long enough. Some of these issues are as follows.
Age Restriction to 19+. We are going to work on making it an ALL AGES events. we have found a way around the age restriction but in order to have the restriction removed we would not be able to hold the event in January.
Bring your own computer - We there were few that were not into the idea of bringing your own pc. Those with gaming laptops had not much of a complaint but those with desktop units did find a issue with getting to and from and also the possibility of having to move stations and the time it takes to. We are working on a better system for that.
ie: having some available pc's for rental if you cannot bring your own.
Some issues we have resolved.
Cost of the event. We had brought down to $20.00 and that will be the price for when we restart registration soon.
Bracket - We have removed the BO1 elimination round and made all rounds best of 3 up until the Semi Finals.
For those who have Pre Registered for the January 6'th date. You will continue to hold your registration, as well as hold a priority status for our registration. You will have a guaranteed seat at the next VSCO.
With this we would also like to announce that within the next week or so.We will also be announcing our Vancouver Pwnage Starcraft League. This will be an online event. The season will last for 9 weeks with 2 set days per week for games. it is ALL AGES. More information will be up on www.vancouverpwnage.com about that. We are also holding spots for our pre registered guests from the VSCO.
This league will be FREE to compete in. it is completely sponsor sanctioned so expect some wicked weekly prizes during the week. We plan on having the one game day for League points. and the next game day for Points as well as a weekly prize.
Again we apologize for the inconvenience with the postponing of the VSCO and we will keep you updated as to the new date of the event.
Sincerely
Vancouver Pwnage Promotions

| The only reason it is Bo1 at the moment is because we are limited on time at the venue. it all depends on how many people show up. if we have enough people to do more best of three. thats what we are going to do. but as of now. if we have more than 50 it will be bo1 elimination. but if you are eliminated and its bo1 your not done for the day. We have mono battles and ffa's to compete in and much more. |

As i stated earlier its because we are short on time for the venue. It all depends on how many people show up. If we find a way to do best of three with the entries we will defiantly be doing best of three but until near xmas and we have a more accurate number of entries will will be listing as Bo1 until then.
and the entry fee is 30.00. People were saying that our event was 40 dollars to enter. when they did not read the whole post. 40 was for late entries to the event. 30 was for those who pre registered for the tournament. so we just eliminated the late registration fee and made it a strait 30. that includes your after party pass for your self and an event pass for a guest as well as a bunch of good ol' swag.

| $30 for Bo1 single-elim? Yep, nope. I like that there's activity in the community again, and the potential prize-pool for this tournament, but that's a lot to pay for being knocked-out in one game. |

vancouver sc2 community <3
miss you guys!
yea the 30$ for a bo1 is a bit steep, maybe if it comes with a beer and fries that would be worth it ;p
maybe do the first few rounds bo3 somewhere else and have the semis->finals at exp. just my .02 |

We are looking into right now dropping the cost for the event but.. we ARE changing it to BO3 elimination now.
the event doors open at 8am and we have till 5pm to be finished the semi finals as the finals will be done during the after party as the main event.
We just want to know if this will work. we do a 25 dollar entry and prize pool stays the same. OR we do 20 dollar entry and the prize pool drops by 25%.
