[stereomonkey]

Hope everybody has read all of Lenny's do's and don'ts because there will be no mercy on the day of the tournament.  Okay guys

[electric]

Just a few questions as I'm not sure whether they've been answered before

* Registration starts at 9am, what time will stuff be kicking off ? Will there be some time for warm ups so we can get used to the set ups ?
* How many set ups are there going to be and for which games ? I think I recall someone saying there will be 6-7 set ups... 1 set up for each game and then 2/3 for SSF4 ? Maybe this will depend on registration numbers
* How does the Saturday/Sunday thing work ? I may have asked before but I've forgotten lol - will Sunday be dedicated solely to finals/top 16/whatever ? Even if this means we over run on Saturday ?

Hey Lenny I've got 3 days off leading up to Nats to hang out with out of towners like Moose! etc. Any chance we can have a training session one day for the out of towners and myself to get used to the setups etc. I don't mind organising etc.
I'm sure they would appreciate some time on the setups etc. I only ask because I don't know if the monitor is a Giga monitor or if I have to arrange the moniter with someone else. I'm happy to put down $50 plus for hireage but I can't bring Xbox sticks only PS3 sticks.
Maybe I should make a seperate thread to arrange this if people are keen?
