CALISTO Online (5/16)
Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2020 3:15 am
The editors and writers of CALISTO will run a Discord online mirror on May 16. This is a closed, general mirror: only teams of players in high school or below, all from the same school, are eligible. Any teams, regardless of region, that have not already played the set are welcome to register.
We will have a Competitive and a Standard division. The Competitive division will be open to all teams; Standard will be open only to teams ranked outside the top 100 on the most recent Groger Ranks, or, subject to my discretion, teams ranked in the top 100 which are at substantially weaker strength than a full team. I retain the right to ask Standard teams to play in Competitive.
The fee to play will be $45. Payment must be through Venmo or PayPal. (You should cover any applicable fees if paying by PayPal.)
The tournament will start at 8 AM Pacific to accomodate staff in the correct time zone.
We will haveinitial field caps of 12 UPDATED: 16 teams for each division; we may increase or redistribute field caps based on interest.
Policy on cheating: don't do it! We will kick you out of the tournament, and then publicly shame and ridicule you.
I will direct the tournament. To register, please email me at ajgray at ucsd dot edu from your team's contact email with how many teams you want to send and their divisions (you can give rosters now or later). Please also give the Discord username of a contact and indicate how you will pay - include a Venmo handle if using Venmo. Teams are not registered until I confirm. You can see registered teams on this spreadsheet. (read-only, register by emailing me)
We also welcome outside staffers, and will pay $20 tofull-day moderators and $10 to scorekeepers UPDATED: all full-day staff. Email me to sign up to staff.
