CC5 Sunday 3v3 Cup
I'm considering running a 3v3 ET cup on the Sunday of CC5 (14th December). This cup would have a small entry fee (say, 15 euros, 5 per player), with half the money going to the Don Baker Gateway Cancer Research appeal and the rest distributed as prizes, or possibly with hardware prizes. Signups would be open at the event, and both spectators and players no longer in the main competition could take part.
I've not sorted the logistics of this yet, or confirmed it with the other admins, but I thought I'd gauge the interest. So - if you're coming to CC5, either to play or spectate, would you be interested in an event like this? A quick 3v3 single elimination cup played on sunday from about 10am, with the final starting at around 4pm.
Your opinions, comments and suggestions please, but only if you're likely to come to the LAN!

wouldn't fit int he shedule I guess. Most people will have a train to catch or need to get to the airport.
But could be nice for the specs but then it should be held when cc5 is finished, more like a small thing for the people who didn't had the chance to play 6v6 at cc5.
It wouldn't be a huge tournament either way - probably 12-16 teams of 3 at most, maybe a few more, there's no real reason to run it later tho, as there are enough spare machines on sunday and we need sunday night to tidy and pack everything up.
And maybe make it for the specs only, it could fit in 1-1,5 hour and could also be ncie to watch for the cc5 players.
This way you can attract the specs, but don't realy think thats ur intention. But it would be a nice plus for the specs. (or people who will only show up for the 3v3)
I was very conservative with the initial schedule I drew up for it, in retrospect.
INCOMING
ps: 3o3 high /Q me
PS. You lost to us xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd
Now Adacore knows alot more about making a 3v3 tourtnament or not.
awesome idea though
But all the players must have the possibility to play even they play 6on6 on Sunday
european clans might come on thursday yes, but for a lot of belgians, dutchies, it's early, as most come on friday morning afaik
can't be perfect for everyone anyway so :)
oh wait ... we still need to find a 6th 30 seconds before our game ...
but I think that he will come :)
This time I'm much more confident than usual that we'll actually stay on schedule for the whole event btw. Everything will go much better if we can, and it will allow us to do stuff like actually preschedule the coverage, meaning far more viewers as people can see in advance what games are being played when.
single elim and one map wouldnt take much time at all!
that would be more fun than 3on3 ET imo
Spoke briefly with nellie about this the other night. I think it's great. I'll get with you after the weekend so we can discuss further.
