March 12, 2011, Neumont University will be hosting tournaments for Magic: The Gathering, League of Legends, and our favorite:  Starcraft 2!!!  Registration for the Starcraft 2 tournament is from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. and the tournament officially starts at 1:00 p.m.  There will be a $5 entry fee for 1v1 and $10 for 2v2.  Snacks, food, and drinks will be available from "BTS, GSO, and TGG".  I don't know what this means, but food will be available.  Also, I do not know if there is a prize pool associated with this tournament or if this is a BYOC or not.  I will do what I can to find out more information.  The only Neumont University that I know is located here:

Chat Channels!

With the much anticipated patch 1.2 now here and chat channels have now arrived - we've established our own chat channel!  Yay!  I can tell you are all super excited about this  ;).  But, I bet you can't guess what the name of the chat channel is...

Yup, as simple as that.  So, if you're wanting to practice with some locals, chat it up with your next door neighbor, challenge any of our top players found here, or even host a small tournament, feel free to use it!

We look forward to seeing you guys there soon.  Hooray for chat channels!

Riverton Tournament - Recap

Just wanted to quickly post to congratulate the winner of the BYOC tournament at Rock Creek Pizza in Riverton.  Congratulations go to Perfect!!!  After battling through about 35 players, Perfect was able to overtop Utah's top players, OnEMoReTrY and Pride!  Although the internet connection was about as good as my Muta-Micro, players dealt with the long 3-hour delay in getting the internet up and working and played many games with some serious lag problems.  Despite these issues, the battles continued and a winner prevailed.  Again, congratulations Perfect!

We'd also like to thank Rock Creek Pizza for offering their facilities as well as Utah Game Tournaments for hosting this tournament.  We look forward to many more tournaments like this and hope to continue to have an increase in player attendance.  We encourage everyone to spread the word about these tournaments and direct their friends here for any announcements.

Yay!!!  Versus responded to my request to have the tournament results posted and so here you have it!  It looks like there was a HUGE turnout and lots of success.  I'm starting to sound like a broken record here, but congratulations OnEMoReTrY!  Again displaying why he's #1 in Utah - but not without dropping one game!  That's right folks...he is human and yes, he can lose!  I believe it was Pride who gave him his first loss ever in Utah SC2 tournaments.  So, congratulations also to Pride!  Anyway, here are the results and we hope to see you all soon at the next tournament.

Sorry for the lame upload via megaupload.com, but this is the only way I know!  Any suggestions on how to directly link the .pdf file here?

EDIT:
My apologies for not mentioning or congratulating the winner of the 2nd tournament. As the brackets do not list the winner of the tournaments, we want to congratulate the winner of the 2nd tournament...either oblong or theq. If you know who won this tournament, could you please let me know? Congratulations though to the winners!

EDIT #2 Jan. 1, 2011
Oblong won the 2nd tournament so congratulations to him! And Happy New Year to everyone!
