CyberGamer's Pan-Pacific Championship
America's top players take on their rivals from Down Under
CyberGamer presents the Pan-Pacific Championship hybrid tournament. In this event we seek to spark the rivalry between North Americans and their cousins across the Pacific in Australia and New Zealand. After playing together in nearly every Blizzard game the friendly rivalries were dampened somewhat when the Oceania players were relegated to the SEA server but now with NA server access we want to re-ignite these friendships and rivalries! This is part Invitational part Qualifier event with a US$500 prizepool. There will be live coverage of the 16-player finals and possibly of select qualifier finals.

Details
Four invites from North America and four invites from Oceania (see below) will join four qualifiers from America and four qualifiers from Oceania to compete in the finals of this event. In the first round every North American player will be matched up against an Oceanic player. Additionally, in round 1 every Invited player will be matched up against a Qualifier. This means that North American invites play Oceanic Qualifiers, Oceanic Invites play North American Qualifiers, and so on.

Date: 4th December (USA)
Time: 8PM Central (6PM Pacific, 9PM Eastern)
Structure: 16-player single elimination
Format: Bo3 until Semis (Bo5), 3rd Playoffs (Bo5) and Finals (Bo5)
Participants: Permanent resident or citizen of USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.

Prizes
Prizes are in United States Dollars and will be issued via PayPal

1st place: $300
2nd place: $150
3rd place: $50


Qualificaton Tournaments
There will be eight Qualifiers for this event, with four opportunities at a place in the 16-player final for four North American players and four Oceanic players. Qualifiers will be capped at 128 players and you will sign up via the events page. For the first qualifiers on Saturday the 20th of November you will be able to sign up in advance, but subsequent qualifiers will open several hours before the tournament starts to avoid no-shows taking up the limited places available. Oceania qualifiers will be held on the SEA server, North America qualifiers will be on the NA server. We will meet up in IRC @ #cgpanpacific on gamesurge.net. Qualifiers will be 128-player, Bo1 format until the Ro8 where it will go to Bo3. Maps will be pre-determined.
