Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

To sign up for multiple games do we have to register for each game seperately?

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

I'll be in anaheim but for business and only on the 8th to the 12th. move the tournament for me and compress it to an hour and I can come!

I may be late or unable to show up if work gets busy but that shouldn't be a problem, right?

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

Omg rickstah plays VF?! Sweet. Oh and I'll probably go to this, depends on when my Spring break is, or how long it runs.

 

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

Yes. The initial fee gets you into the EXPO itself. With that entry fee, you will receive 1 free entry into any tournament you would like.


In addition to the entry to the expo, there will be various vendors and sponsors doing raffles and promotional prizes !!



Last but not least, please feel welcome to participate in the Wii Baseball tournament or Guitar Heroes 2 for FREE !!!! There will be a $350 cash prize for the Wii Baseball tournament. I'm not sure what the prize is for the GH2 tournament, but I will find out shortly.

We have officially increased the prize pot. Now instead of $350, $100, $50 it is $500, $200, $100. Enjoy! Please pre register if you can. It will help make the whole event run smoother. Thanks.

 

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

http://www.jc-media.com/index.php?nav=game&gameId=14

could you change the round time to 45 seconds that is the standard in VF tournament play.

 

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

That is no problem, we will update that info ASAP.


Also, please pre-register. I will help everyone involved with the event.

 

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

Updated info:


Spectator Pass for 1 day: $5
Weekend Pass, $10

 

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

CGS has announced they will be at this event. Fo more info, visit http://www.championshipgamingseries.com

 

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

i noticed that the VF tournament will be 11:30

how many setups do we expect dedicated to freeplay/warmup prior to the event and when do doors open for freeplay.

 

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

We are going to have 8 set-ups if I am not mistaken. We are bringing all of our own equipment from the East Coast.


Come early, and you can play casuals.

 

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

Rainbow Six changed to 2v2 !

 

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

Will there be pads available to us who don't have joysticks? (or simply prefer playing on pads?) Also, I've registered online but haven't paid yet. Do I have to pay before the tournament or can I pay there? Thanks!

 

Re: /30 - 4/1 - Buy.com LAN 2007 Anaheim, CA

Yes definitely ! We will have pads available !!!



Also, here is a list of players who have paid and also registered online:


Player
1.Brisal73 (B. Salazar) (Confirmed)
2.firstpressing (C. Sampson) (Confirmed)
3.jacksown (A. Radosavljevich) (Confirmed)
4.Jomama (D. Wu) (Confirmed)
5.L_A_Akiea (g. abraham) (Confirmed)
6.SonicTHP (T. Phillips) (Confirmed)
7.Unsafe Dan (D. Esquer) (Confirmed)
Pending List
1.DRE (A. Campbell)
2.Nuyoriquena (E. Scott)
3.Namflow (R. Golden)
4.ice-9 (J. Yuwono)
5.KoD (C. Koeninger)



With talking to a lot of players, it is looking like a 40-50 man tournament. That means we need more players to register online. It takes only a few minutes, and is very important. For those who don't know why, here you go:


1. It helps tournament organizers plan ahead. See who's coming, better promote it, and also, if everyone registers, we can have brackets ready. This allows a faster ran tournament, and more time for casuals.


2. With tournaments like this, Sponsors want to see who is interested. They do not check VFDC or go on IRC. They do not know WHO IS COMING, other than who has signed up on their site. So they get nervous. They are putting up a lot of time and money (as we are) so they want to ensure a good turnout.


So please Pre-Reg !! You don't even have to pay !!
