Amherst is in Western, MA. Further away than CT, yes, but it's an overnight event for the most part, so travel next day FTW!
|
BTW, if my count is right, we already have 5 BYOC computers. If this pace keep up, normal registration will start by the end of the week.

Wish I could go Good luck with the tournament though. Sounds like a ton of fun!

No worries, there will be a last chance final the first weekend in November right before the end of the season. I think that one is perfect timing considering MLG Prov is later in the month.

Same location. We have two rooms setup:
1 is for 10 BYOC computers that will be shared for SC2 and the owners get a discounted all night pass for letting other people use them.
The other room has spots for 30 PCs, 17 of which are taken as of 2 days ago. (I will say 20 are taken due to 3 people I know are going to sign up once we open it again)
The SC2 tourney starts at 11a (normal time) and the LoL tourney starts at 6p. We may be able to stream the LoL stuff if obs mode comes out.

I was right! 4 registered and someone with a funky credit card XD So that's sorta like 5
|
So if I sign up for this thing do I have to bring my own computer, or are there open PC slots?

Right now it is BYOC for the first 10 computers. Once we have those (or 8 based on timing), then we will open the tourney up for 22 people to use other peoples rigs. The 22 only have the day pass. If there is space in the main room, we are working on making it so some of those 22 can bring their PC in for overnight, they would just have to pay the added fee and could not use their computer for tournament matches. We are still working on that one though.

PC died and now it's back up. Only 2 more computers needed before we open up the normal registration. This long weekend looks like a good time to register.

Can't wait till MLG Providence. Going to be so much fun!
Is the tournament in early November going to be in the same place?
|
No, the tournament in early November will be in Storrs-Mansfield, CT. It's where we had qual #3. Was supposed to be in Maine, but they closed down
|
Sounds good, looking forward to it.
