I registered for this day 1 it came on the market. Video games, friends, and a casino?!?!?! Yes please.

 

[CyberEvil]

I'm still a maybe at this point. If I can't get a room with a guaranteed bed for the whole time I won't go for sure though. Way beyond the crashing on the floor stage.

 

[The Enforcer]

I'm in, I just need to book my flight in a couple of weeks.

If hotel space is gone at the venue does that mean I have to find a hotel nearby or is there another option? Thought I read ppl crash on the tournament room floor?

Also, thx for the links @Mr. Wah. Very helpful

The hotel won't let you crash on the ballroom floor. In general you options are: Find a hotel room for yourself, or find people with space to accommodate you in their room and pay your share of the room.

I had reserved two rooms just in case, I think I will be canceling my second room soon as sadly some of my locals have been unable to get the time off for the event.

Ok, confirmed both Radisson/casino tower sold out. Guess its motel 6 for me. About converters, can someone provide a link for where I can get an approved converter to use my Xbox controller on PS4? Amazon tells me the XCM 3.0 will deliver btwn 12/8-12/24 & the Brooks one looks like it is to use PS4 ctrlr on Xbox.

The XCM is the only one not currently banned from the event.

Got it, i'll just buy a PS4 pad for the event. glad its mostly on the W/E, saves a couple PTO days. Excited to be going to one of these.. wanted to for the past few but flaked out for 1 reason or another. I'm sure i'll get bodied 2X in a row real quick then be spectating the rest of the weekend will there be stuff to do/watch throughout the whole day or is it like a specified play window then everybody goes off to do thier own thing for the rest of the day?

The schedule is on bigegaming.com I'm not sure where exactly registration is in the Radisson.

 

[CGS713]

Ok, I was just at bige site but didn't see the schedule.. maybe this phone is messing things up. I'll try to find it again. Hopefully someone at the Radisson can help w/ where to go.
