Premium local StarCraft II competition organisers Polarfluke have announced their next tournament, which takes place this weekend. <\/p>\n

Rules<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Map selection will proceed as follows: Each players is allowed to completely veto one map from the map pool, for the duration of the match. After this players take turns to eliminate one map each, until the final ‘Starting Map’ is left. Every subsequent map will be chosen by the previous map’s loser, taking into account that a veto’d map may not be chosen. A coin toss will decide which player goes first.Alternatively players may simply agree on a starting map.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Map Pool<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

2. Lost Temple<\/div>\n
3. Blistering Sands<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Misconduct includes tardiness, disrespect to other players or administrators and players not submitting results to an administrator after a game is completed. Administrators reserve the right to disqualify a player for misconduct.<\/div>\n
