Where will be the booth or location of the tourney?
Since online registration is closed, we can only get badges during the days of the convention. We need to know what days EVE CCG stuff will be going on.
Thanks!

Re:25K GenCon Tourney - 2007/07/25 04:19I'm not certain, but it is most likely to be on Saturday.
Also note that there is an announcement on the front page regarding the tournament, that the winner will "receive an all-expense paid trip to CCP’s 4th annual EVE Online Fanfest, held November 1st – 3rd in Reykjavik, Iceland."
Important Question: Does the expenses covered include the acquisition of a rush passport?
Standard US Passport wait times have gone up to as long as three months as a result of a bureaucratic failure to increase State Department staff to deal with the new passport laws regarding air travel between the US and Canada, Mexico and the Carribean.-Ryuteki, Owner of the Rules!

Re:25K GenCon Tourney - 2007/07/25 14:52Your probably on your own on that one. Nice try though. I'd wish someone else would pay for my next new passport as well.We shall seed the stars with our scions and reap that harvest.

Game ID: TCG00185 Title: EVE World Championships Event Description: At long last, the hard work of your corporation has paid off. This is it, the last conflict to see who will dominate New Eden--and who will be erased from the history books. This $10,000 tournament is only open to players who qualified in previous EVE tournaments. Last Chance Qualifiers are being held on both Thursday and Friday.
The last Chance Qualifiers are scheduled for 2pm on Thursday and Friday running to 8pm.
128 players should be 7 rounds + top 8 if they do that. Estimate 1.25 hours per round (I said estimate So around 9 hours for the main tournament (around 10pm).
Anyone know what time it ended last year?

Re:25K GenCon Tourney - 2007/07/25 20:19I thought they were doing away with qualifications this year. The gencon info seems to be inaccurate (?)

Re:25K GenCon Tourney - 2007/07/26 01:38Yeah...the GenCon info is a bit inaccurate. 25k Tournament, Saturday, It says 1:00pm, but honestly...I dont see it starting right on the dot. As for the Ending time, I highly doubt it will end at 9:00. Last year the tournament went past 10 pm, I left for the big White Wolf/CCP party before that , so Im not sure exactly what time it ended.
Now for the pay outs. I'm not really sure how its being split up, I if I had to guess, and don't quote me on this, 10k for first and trickles down from there.
By the way. If you participate in the CCG tourny, and arent going to the big party later, im banning you from the forums Its going to be crazy!New sig image in progress...

Re:25K GenCon Tourney - 2007/07/26 14:38This schedule was finalized before we announced the changes to the Championship. The earlier tournaments on Thursday and Friday will still take place, and will guarantee spots for the top players in each, but they are not required to participate on Saturday.Zack Walters EVE: The Second Genesis Organized Play Coordinator White Wolf | CCP North America

Re:25K GenCon Tourney - 2007/07/26 14:58If I remember correctly we finished last year at around 10pm. The CCP staff did a great job running the tournament and everything ran smooth.Blatherskite Caldari Propagandist

How does that "guaranteed seat" work anyway? Does it mean that those of us who placed in qualifiers do not need to register for / pay for the Championship event (assuming there is a fee to begin with)?-Ryuteki, Owner of the Rules!
