To a tournament organiser, a positive comment about an update that took forever to finish makes it all worth. A nice and original sign up can bring a smile on the face. Knowledge that somebody appreciates the work put into colourful scoreboards gives a warm feeling. Sometimes a simple thanks for a well ran tournament can mean so much after a gloomy day. For all the positive comments I've received during my tournament organising "career" I'd like to give something back to the players who have stood out to me as people who really enjoy tournaments and have given something positive back to the organisers. You, the players, probably don't get this too often so here's something that I really want to say. Thank you!
Denominator is the kind of guy who seems to care what's going on in the tournament world. He is the player who is invested in the tournaments he plays in and more importantly, when there's a discussion about future of the tournaments then you can be sure that Den is around to give his insight and make suggestions to turn things to better

I had a hard time choosing between escalating and no spoils, but ultimately I enjoy the slower pace of no spoils. I picked random because I like every map on CC and there isn't one in particular that I like better than the others (for non-1v1 games, that is).
1v1 games: Australia, Standard, Automatic, No Spoils, Adjacent, No Fog.
8-player game: Random Map, 8-player, Standard, Automatic, No Spoils, Adjacent, Fog.
2 games will be played at once most of the time, freemiums welcome.
Setup
It's a 64-player tournament with 2 rounds - qualifying and finals (all games are casual).
In qualifying round players will be assigned according to points into brackets (8 players per bracket). Best-of-3 series will be played and the winner of each bracket advances to finals where 1 8-player game will be played. Winner of that game is declared winner of the tournament.
My expectations of players signing up
- Positive attitude!
- No whining!
- Great sportsmanship!
- Understanding that final game might be a very long game.
