You take a gamble where you get a free pass through units but you cannot touch that worker anymore before it get back. No worries, I'm definitely revising the rules before the tournament starts. I asked a Korean friend if he could find and translate ASL rules, but he couldn't find them. And then I went around looking at other tournaments and the rules they used. They should be updated by the end of the day and will be more clear and concise while removing some of the more confusing or wrong ones. | ||

I got the list from Competitive Rules - which are rules that have been used by KeSPA, Teamliquid events, as well as ICCup. These will be the same exact rules enacted for this tournament. These are also the same exact rules that are currently being used by BSL here. If there is any confusion on what these rules specifically mean, please PM me. To clarify a few points, you may shift+queue exactly as Bakuryu described. You may obviously stack air units too lol. Edit: Prize pool up to $200+... thank you a ton ty2fan. I'm not sure who you are, but your donation is generous to say the least. I was planning to match the highest donor before the tournament started but unfortunately there is just no way I can match that at the moment. It means an incredible amount to me though, and I'm sure to the community as well. Thank you. | ||

How coverage will work Really quickly want to go over this due to the nature of the tournament. Due to the rules and the priority on quality matches, casts will not be done live and there is no dedicated caster. However, I will be spending a large amount of time doing what I can so that these tournaments will still be fun for everyone to watch. Also, it is sort of part of our mission statement that ANYONE can cast this, and players may stream their games. The idea is a tournament that will give back and help "grow" the foreign scene, which includes helping streams out and people getting their feet wet casting. Players: Please try your best to upload replays to the challonge bracket. This is the only way that viewers can tune in and see the matches. Without the help of the players, this event will be difficult to bring to the viewers. The player on top of the bracket should upload the replays to avoid spoilers from replay text. Follow these quick easy steps if you've never uploaded a replay before: 1. Click on the pencil icon of a challonge match. 2. Go to attachments. 3. Upload your replays here. 4. You're done! Casters: Contact me! Please let me know your challonge account name & e-mail associated with the account. Once this is done, you will be given admin access so you can view and download attachments from the bracket. All matches will require replays to be uploaded so casters will be able to cast any matches they want as they see fit. If they want to focus on one side of the bracket, they can. If they want to cover both semi-finals, they can. All you have to do is click a match on the bracket, click the paperclip icon, and download the replays and you're ready to go. Also, do not hesitate to add your stream to the teamliquid event when it is running so people know you are streaming. Viewers: Be sure to tune in. This event will not have as centralized of an experience as other tournaments, but to remedy this my plan is to release the replay pack after the event as well as make a post after each tournament of "best 5 games" with a short summary of each. If there is any feedback or suggestions, please let me know. It may take a few weeks to get things "perfect" so there can be some growing pains along the way, but I feel quite strongly that this tournament is headed exactly in the direction I want. Gentle reminder that this tournament does not allow Korean or Chinese IP addresses. I will be removing players who currently reside in either of these locations before shuffling and starting the bracket. I will be sending out PMs tomorrow for people who signed up whom I believe to live in either of these places to clear up any confusion. | ||

TOP PLAYER OF THEIR BRACKET UPLOADS REPLAYS TO CHALLONGE BRACKET - players are not obligated to have casters in their game. In exchange, please upload the replays to the challonge bracket so casters may still partake in this event. Everyone would like to see some StarCraft and with the way this tournament is directed, it can only happen via the players. If you see that your opponent didn't upload and was supposed to, do so for them instead. Ideally the top player will upload to prevent spoilers. See how here: https://goo.gl/aNfohQ Seeding Information: As this is the first tournament in the series, there is unfortunately no way to seed players without manually putting in data. The brackets will be completely random for the first FBW Cup and shuffled once at the start of the tournament. Upcoming FBW Cups will continue with whatever seeding algorithm placement thingy mabopper challonge has. Also, please everyone refer to the original post again if you haven't as I added a reminder. | ||
