I would love all the help I can get!!
Currently I need the following -
More Teams to sign up. More Casters to sign up More Ref/Admins to sign up A list of servers available for the tournament and their locations.
If anyone can supply me with any of this, I would be more than grateful!!
So far we have -
<b>Teams:</b> EoD Duplex NorCal RwD
So currently it's straight to the semi-finals :P
<b>Casters:</b> Blind ArcL!ght
Ryne is away and Zeikko may not be available either.
<b>Ref/Admins:</b> Gisp Myself and Gimp will be available as well, but we will be looking after the tournament as a whole, so may not be available for all matches.

OK, NorCal have dropped out, and so far no new entries have come in.
We will put a deadline of 28th of Oct on this. If we do not have a minimum of 8 teams signed up, we will scrap the tournament. It seems despite everyone's support for RR and Eliminations, no teams actually want to play.
We've been doing NS2 tournaments straight for 3-4 weekends after this weekend. Guru, Logitech and ESL qualifiers. I'm not sure where Wasabi's and Blind's cups fit into this, but they were pretty close to these other tournaments as well. We all are sacrificing the 3rd or 4th weekend in a row to a NS2 tournament already with the ESL, so my guess is that teams are not signing up for your tournie because everyone needs a break every once in a while.
Ps. I think I vaguely remember this thing called 'social life' but can't remember which mod and which mumble server those were on....

Pretty much what Squirreli said. I don't know if Arc will sign up or not, but I know that I won't be playing because I have plans for that whole weekend (that I have been putting off because of other tournaments). I'm sure that applies to other people as well.
How about changing it to a non-weekend cup? Spread the matches out over the course of five days -- one round per day, for example.

Valid points. Tournament burn-out has been a valid concern raised previously.
We'll cancel this for now, and re-arrange. We'll do a night cup version instead of a weekend, but it will be announced in a while. I need some time to re-think it all....
