WingnutSC Profile Joined March 2012 United States 52 Posts #3 You sign up when you enter the Con, there is not pre signup.

Is there a way to reserve a spot for this specifically, as I would be going just for this only? November 2nd and 3rd? Is this just one day or 2 days? Parking? what would the prize pool be for first if 32 people show up?(well payouts, like for example 150$ for first 100 for second etc.)



edit: sorry for the amount of questions, just trying to determine the real cost of entry for this. as from what im looking on the sites, its 2 days, meaning 20+40 for entry to the con + 10$ entry. Plus parking, plus gas(which is 1 hour 42 minutes one way, 114 miles, which with a 2 day event will have to be driven 4 times)...not to mention the site also says signups start thursday at the place at 5PM =/ The prize pool just seems to low depending on how its divided to go to a tournament and lose money on a win atm. considering I havent dropped a map in a michigan tournament in atleast a year now lol (already have that crown of being the best in michigan regardless =P)...

"Our computers (Gaming stations are there, you can byo keyboard/mouse), $10 entry, $30 tournament only badge, to be fair, registration is at con only, tournament starts Saturday / finals - grand finals - fight for third place are on Sunday."



He did not get back about the distribution of payout, but if 32 people the prize pool is $695, I will get back to you on the distribution when I hear. I updated the OP as well.

WingnutSC Profile Joined March 2012 United States 52 Posts #17 Registration is open today until midnight (another 30 minutes) and opens again at 8am tomorrow (Saturday) which is the day of the tournament. The tournament is scheduled to begin at 10 am so I would recommend getting here to register as soon as you can tomorrow. Registration for the tournament itself is just outside of the video gaming room.
