Tournament Structure
1) Tournament seeding will be in relation to the players NA Server Ranked MMR at the time of the event. If a player is unranked at this time, they will have to play 1 Ranked Game to obtain their current MMR, and that number will be used.
2) If a player is late by 15 minutes to a game without getting an OK from both his opponent and a tournament official, that player’s series will be forfeited.
3) The tournament will be played in a Bo3 single elimination style except for 1st and 3rd place matches, which will both be done as a Bo5 series.
4) No map may be repeated in the same series.
Map Selection
1) In tournaments, the top player on the bracket is considered the higher seed.
2) In a Bo3, both players veto a single map.
a) Players take turns eliminating maps until one map is left starting with higher seed.
b) Loser chooses next map.
c) Vetoed maps can not be chosen.
3) In a Bo5, no maps are vetoed.
a) Players take turns eliminating maps until one map is left starting with higher seed.
b) Loser chooses next map.

The New England SC2 League started at the end of the Wings of Liberty beta and took off from there. For the past 7 years it helped to cultivate and support the competitive community all across New England through various live and online events. It is time to kick it back into gear, and keep it local!
Come join us at the New England Starcraft II Community Forum, for our weekly Fight Nights, Local SC2 Events or maybe even try out for Team NEFN.

Guest Details & Expectations:
Much like last year... everyone bought something (food, beer, or otherwise). We are asking for the same thing this time around. Below is a list of everything that will be needed for the event. Alcohol will be basically a BYOB Affair, but I'm sure we can provide some beer and wine for attendees as well.
Items to Bring (once you volunteer we will add your contribution to the list)
4x 12 packs of burgers
4x 10 packs of hotdogs
Other Grillables that you folks enjoy (Chicken, Steak, Sausage, etc.)
Burger Buns
Hot Dog Buns
4x Family Size Bags of Chips/Doritos
Dips for Chips/Whatever
2x Cases of Water
2 liters of soda for non drinkers (or mixers)
Paper Plates/Plastic Utensils
Baked Goods/Cookies/Snacks/etc.
My wife will be whipping up a few of her specialties. but they won't be able to feed 20+ People... and as always... your contribution is greatly appreciated!
BYOC Needs:
With us not running this event at a LAN Center, as well as not having a sponsor for systems. we are asking for 8 Gaming PC's to be delivered to the event. outside of my own and Drog's PC's (which will be used for casting and other purposes). Anyone who has a GOOD Gaming PC is encouraged to bring it with them. and it will be added to the tournament PC list (Please, no Laptops). If you intend on bringing your PC to this event. please mention it in this thread. once we reach 8 we will not need anymore PC's. but if you still feel like bringing it with you we may have a spot for you to set up. If you have a power strip and/or Network Cable, feel free to bring that along with your rig. (WiFi is on the premises as well)
Confirmed Gaming PC's (0/8):
