Official Results Thread
Wow!!! This tourney turned out better than I could have imagined. Thanks for coming everyone, especially the West Coast guys: S2J, Lovage, SFAT, Tafokints, Violence for flying out and committing an entire weekend to this bad boy. The hype was incredible with so much OoR talent. We did our best to squeeze this all into one day, and considering the national-level turnout and duration of sets near the end I think everything worked out great with singles bracket finishing by midnight!Thanks so much to my TO staff: Jungle, Roller, BloodyJoker, Aceplayer, 3Chairz, Chad for helping out with absolutely everything throughout the day. Thanks PEEF for taking care of the livestream, I'm still trying to comprehend the mindblowing figure of 2400 viewers at one point. And thanks to the pool captains: Duck, Carroll, KirbyKaze, Rat, SCOTU, 4% APR, Shady, ORLY, Dre, Dart, Velynn, Drephen, Oro?!, Vro, Taki, The Good Doctor for helping run their own pool, it made things much easier.
I will blog about this event in a few days with more thoughts and of course shoutouts. For now, I still gotta drop off s2j/Lovage to the airport and then start doing some homework, lol.

Notes
* Out of 115 entrants, two got DQ'd for being too slow during pools, two got DQ'd for not paying on time, and I also waived entry fee for my five TO staff members, so the prize pot ended up as 108 * $15 = $1620 overall.
* We did 16 pools of seven to eight players. Top 3 advanced to a 48-player bracket with first seeds getting a first-round bye. Final singles pools can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...EFSSHdNRThFd0xwS3VfS1NvSXZROVE&hl=en_US#gid=0
* All matches played on the livestream were also recorded to a high-quality digital copy, except for a 45-minute or so time period in the middle of doubles bracket when the recording device was not turned on. There were at least 4 other recording setups as well. Videos thread coming soon.
* Reneblade and I will be doing a Top Ten Plays (Big House Edition) similar to the Top Ten Plays segment from Who's Got Salt and from SMYM12. Let the highlight reels begin
* The $100 Midwest Apex stipend can be claimed at Apex 2012 in this order of priority:
1. VanZ
2. Duck
3-5. Tink/Trail/Dart
6-8. Drephen/Moose/ORLY
Thank you for attending, everyone!
