Alright Spangler, some questions since you're super popular and have 350 steam friends and your list is full, and I've driven Nick off the deep end on Steam too many times this summer:

1. If I show up to GXL at 9am Friday with clockwork are you going to let me into the event to set up or do I have to pay 15$ to not be locked out the venue/sit in my car? What is your +1 policy for people travelling with 'early birds?'

2. Have you allocated time for the teams to check in and such at the hotels (where check ins at most hotels are somewhere between 12pm and 3pm, and two of the hotels require a decent drive) into your "we'll be ending by 10/11pm Friday (which is insane)?"

3. Are you allowing CEVO players to use the CEVO pcs for the BYOC and if yes, do you feel this is fair for the "byoc (bring YOUR OWN computer)" lan?

4. Are players going to be allowed to 'save' seats for their friends. If cyzer gets there at 12 and I wanna sit as close to him as humanly possible will he be able to save me a seat if I can't show up until 4?

5. Have you considered the fact players can't spectate CEVO until 1pm without paying extra since you're starting at 9 and us plebians can't enter til 12 meaning we probably wont be settled in our seats until 12-1.

6. On top of that last note, are you planning on pausing the cevo tournament to give the players ample time to set up their stations at 12 with the rest of the non early birds?

I don't want defensive or half assed answers, thanks. :3

1) Only production staff, CEVO/GXL staff, premature LANers and CEVO players are allowed in early for Friday far as I know. This is obviously a no brain answer as these people are needed to start and run the event.

2) There is no special or designated time Friday for teams to leave the venue and check-in to hotels, however if you notice the schedule, there is select 2.5 hour gaps where teams will not be playing and can use this time to eat, nap, check-in to hotels, etc.

3) All CEVO players for Friday will be REQUIRED to play on the tournament PCs we provide for our LAN finals event. I hope and imagine GXL will be willing to allow these players who also brought their own setups to setup early before the 9am slot but only they have the authority to answer that.

4) Another question for GXL as seating right now is tight

5) We have considered this and we will bring this up in a meeting today. Perhaps we can have spec passes extended for Friday at 9am for those simply in attendance for that but again, not my decision.

6) See #2 and #3...hopefully GXL should allow these users to setup early as possible before the CEVO event itself kicks off.

Hope this clarifies most things, I will edit the post with the final answers I get from GXL ASAP

I'm bringing this up along with other things tonight in a GXL staff meeting. I can't promise anything for anyone to any of the concerns, but just know I'm trying my hardest. I appreciate everyone's concern (yes, even flame's), but please bear with me. My stress levels are through the roof, but I'm trying everything I can to please everyone and make this event great.

That being said, please don't fear that you'll be inconveniencing me by asking me a question. This is what I signed up for, and I'm here to help anyone as much as I can.

Does this include the monitors you will be providing or will players be able to use their own? I've promised my PC + 144hz monitor to a CEVO player and it was his intention to use it for the entire event.

dashnerRe-read my post. I'm asking if players are able to use their own monitors during the finals or if they're forced to use the ones you provide.

They MUST use the PCs and monitors we provide for the Friday event. There is an entire designated area that will be setup for this where these machines will remain throughout the weekend.

make sure you check the bottling date before picking up any DFH, they have pretty wide nation distro and most stores buy more than they should thus leading to their products occupying the shelves for quite some time. while it will still taste fine you wanna try to get it as fresh as possible...but by the time it goes from brewery->distro->store it will be at least 6-8 weeks old possibly longer. the more you know ! /beergeekrant

ok carry on

So, after a lot of discussion and really pulling for you guys who wanted it, I got it:

You are now allowed to come in at 9 AM to watch the CEVO matches.

If you bought a spectator pass AND bought a premature LANer pass just to watch the early matches, we will reimburse you the fee for the premature LANer pass.

However, this does not mean you are allowed to bring in your computer earlier or to do any other activity. You are just coming in to spectate for these three hours, then go out and get your stuff to bring back in.

LAST DAY TO SEND IN REFUNDS WILL BE THURSDAY, 9/25 @ 11:59 PM.

I'd love to play. There are a handful of TF2 players that play SF4, so games will surely happen. I don't know how much time I'll have to play, but I'll definitely try to make a little bit of free time on my schedule to do some Viper frame traps. :D

I'll money-match if someone wants to make things interesting.
