19/08/2006 11:27 #21 Italy Dave W hawksnake posts : 2 lans : 1 Hi a few more questions: Will you be taking a headcount of who is playing what in advance of the tourney or on the day? Is there any possibility I could enter 2 tourneys? I have read the WCG page and it doesnt say much.. Say for instance I enter the Warcraft3 competition.. and if theres 10 people playing, what do you think the format will be? Single elimination? Double elim? groups? round robin? unseeded one map loss and you are out? if you could answer any of these it would be great cheers   edited by Italy on 19/08/2006 11:30

19/08/2006 16:29 #22 BioHazRd Richard Smith I stole Mindphucks Donkey posts : 209 lans : 18 site administrator All I can say right now is the number of people enter the comps will determine the format. All people who sign up will be contacted once the signups are closed, and we will sort out the details then. One thing I can say is that with the number of potential teams entered in counterstrike, it looks unlikely that many people who are playing cs willl be able to enter other comps due to the length of time required to run cs

25/08/2006 15:15 #28 Keyser_Soze_5 Mark Kenny posts : 14 lans : 1 Yo, Im looking to enter the PGR3 comp but Im not gonna have a console at the time, is their consoles being provided for this?

25/08/2006 17:51 #29 Legion Dave Hibbits Eric IS a Daddy posts : 97 lans : 15 administrator Keyser_Soze_5..the short answer to your question would be Yes Consoles and PCs will be supplied for all comps.

25/08/2006 23:44 #30 Murderer Adam Murphy posts : 1 lans : 1 Just a question, I know theres a BYOC area and usually I would presume that I would have to bring a monitor a long as well but considering this is a WCG-backed event, I was wondering if this the case?

26/08/2006 01:30 #31 Cremo neil cremins posts : 3 lans : 1 will the cs competition monitors be CRT or LCD?

26/08/2006 09:31 #32 Legion Dave Hibbits Eric IS a Daddy posts : 97 lans : 15 administrator Murderer: You will have to bring your own monitor if your attending the BYOC. Cremo: LCD

29/08/2006 17:43 #33 sunzz darren rooney lal posts : 4 lans : 1 One question I have an out of date irish passport, is it okay to show on the door, or those the passport have to be active now.

29/08/2006 18:01 #34 Legion Dave Hibbits Eric IS a Daddy posts : 97 lans : 15 administrator The out of date passport should be fine.If your entering any of the WCG comps remember to bring along some other form of valid id proving your age,you dont want to be entering a comp, winning, then being told you cant go to Monza because your under age.

29/08/2006 19:56 #35 BioHazRd Richard Smith I stole Mindphucks Donkey posts : 209 lans : 18 site administrator Also, bear in mind that your passport must be in date for the trip to Monza

29/08/2006 22:16 #36 Keyser_Soze_5 Mark Kenny posts : 14 lans : 1 Is it all expenses paid or what?

29/08/2006 23:48 #37 Chewits Matthew Gillespie posts : 6 lans : 1 I have a Northern Ireland Passport. Is this ok ?

30/08/2006 10:02 #38 Keyser_Soze_5 Mark Kenny posts : 14 lans : 1 Just wondering what class cars are going to be used in the PGR3 comp? Is it just the outright winner or 1st or 2nd etc. that go to Monza? Sorry for all the questions, just a little excited about it   edited by Keyser_Soze_5 on 30/08/2006 10:10

30/08/2006 12:43 #39 BioHazRd Richard Smith I stole Mindphucks Donkey posts : 209 lans : 18 site administrator Chewits - Im afraid a Northern Irish passport will not be sufficient :( - Those entering the wcg finals must hold a valid passport for the country in which they qualify. I know its semantics in our case, but thats the rule. Keser_Soze_5 - Default cars must be used. (Cars that require unlocking are NOT allowed.) Only the winner goes to Monza. Questions are good - keep em coming

30/08/2006 13:56 #40 Chewits Matthew Gillespie posts : 6 lans : 1 Poo. Was lookin forward to taking part in teh Brood War tourney. No chance of gettin a passport that quick. There is no Brood war team for UK. Real Shame :( May take me off the register list as I cant play then. Just curious. How many people is the sponsors/organisers willing to send to monza? All games? winner from each game?
