Sorry we could not confirm it due to tight budget. The more teams join the prizes will be more. =)

There is anti-backdoor system in 6.69c already,plus for standard rule BD are only allowed in later game(about 50-60min).

if my student card lost how? last final exam i left my student card on my exam table ><

yup that's why the rule stated here backdoor is ALLOWED. Btw most of the rules we followed the one used by SGNDT one, of course with some modification to suit our tournament system. =)

Added on December 21, 2010, 7:25 pmWell 4 days actually stands for the whole duration of the tournament. First of all it's school days so we only can have it on weekends. Secondly, 15th and 16th Jan 2011 would be the Group matches for all 8 groups, and 22nd and 23rd Jan 2011 would be the last 16 full elimination round. Hope this answered your question. =)
