Confirmations should go out really soon. If you signed up before today you're probably in. As for the start of the tournament, it will start on Saturday. Friday is a preview day for the students on campus and people in the area. None of the major tournaments will start on Friday. | ||

I for one need details before I take a trip to SD. Besides, it'd be a pain in the ass carrying all that gear myself. And what do you do with your gear once your matches are complete? | ||

Saying "Bring your computer" means your computer, but comments say Monitor + cables, etc. etc. I for one need details before I take a trip to SD. Besides, it'd be a pain in the ass carrying all that gear myself. And what do you do with your gear once your matches are complete? I tried to make it clear when I said "Bring all your own equipment - we do not have equipment available to use on-site." In the confirmation email there will be more details and reminders about what to bring, but in general you should be thinking that whatever gear you need to use to play, you should bring. After you're completed with your matches, if you want to keep your stuff in the area where you played, that should be fine. If we need the space, we will find a place where you can store your gear if you want to stick around and don't have a good place to store it yourself.

I don't necessarily want to drive 180 miles to play 7 bo1s, can you still LAN afterwards? Definitely, people do this every year. Eventually we may end up needing the space, but you can expect to get plenty of gaming time in for your 180 mile drive, even if you don't make it into the bracket stage.

To anyone who has signed up so far - you can be pretty safe assuming that you will be in the tournament. The official confirmation email is being proofred for detail and accuracy right now, and will be sent out ASAP. Since there are a lot of questions about what exactly to bring, I'll give you guys the details regarding that subject right now (which I have taken directly from the confirmation email): I would like to highlight a couple key points about what you should bring so that no one misses them. Firstly, bring your own equipment - all of it. This includes your computer, mouse, mousepad, keyboard, monitor, headphones, ethernet cables, power strips, etc. The reason to bring ethernet cables is that although we do have wireless internet on site, it is not intended to handle huge numbers of gamers simultaneously. Instead, we ask that you bring ethernet cables to use the wired internet connection we will have set up specifically for the event. Additionally, I mentioned power strips. We can only guarantee one power outlet per player in the tournament, so you should bring a power strip if you need multiple plugs for your equipment. If you come with a group of friends, you may certainly plan to share power strips amongst your group. = = = = = Comment/upvote the WGF Reddit post! | ||

The confirmation emails for those that have signed up so far have been sent out! Please PM me if you have signed up but have not received a confirmation email. However, note that we are not automatically sending the confirmation email as soon as you sign up, so if you have yet to sign up, you may not receive the confirmation email instantaneously. If you do sign up and don't receive an email of some sort (either confirmed entry or waitlist if we fill up) within 24 hours, please PM me so I can ensure that we received your registration. -- Also just updated the OP to inform you all that the finals (and likely the matches leading up to the finals) on Sunday evening, scheduled for roughly 5pm, will be casted by Frodan and MrBitter. | ||
