FAQs

Can I pay at the door?

Yes, you may pay at the door if you wish - however, people who bought online tickets will have priority registration over people who pay at the door. Please also note that we CANNOT ACCEPT CASH at registration.





Where do I sign up for a tournament?

Tournament sign-up will happen in the room of the tournament being played. Make sure to check the schedule for the day and time when your game(s) will start!

No. There is no age limit for this event - however, children of age 12 or younger should be escorted by an adult.

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?

We were not able to get free parking for the event. If you are coming from off campus you can pay around $15 a day for parking on campus. You can view the visitor parking lots here. We recommend parking in visitor areas 4 & 5.

You can drop off your desktop computer and equipment in the Klaus turnaround, but you CANNOT park there - you will get towed if you stay longer than 10 minutes or so.





What can/can't I bring to the event?

If you're interested in playing a PC game (such as League, DotA, or CS:GO), please your computer, monitor, power cords, and ethernet cords, and any peripherals you'll need. We'll provide power strips and network ports, but everything else is up to you.

If you're interesting in playing in a console tournaments (such as Smash bros or a fighting game), you don't need to bring anything - we'll provide all the setups. You are welcome, of course, to bring your own controllers if you wish!

No, you do not have to print your ticket. We'll be scanning digital tickets or printed tickets, however, so please have your ticket in some form at the event.
