Group stage has ended. Brackets are starting at 2:30 PM EST. I believe some of it will be streamed.

Your team must be registered by 11 AM on Saturday morning.

I pushed the registration deadline back to 11 AM to give everyone a little more time to get to the venue, so please do not be late.

Yes. We don't do waiting lists or anything, but keep your eyes on the page. We've had a few refunds in the past week.

like 20-25 signups for melee. You need to purchase a seat to participate in tournaments.

Two things:

1) If you still haven't bought your ticket to the LAN, the $5 coupon code ends at 11:59 PM PST on the 31st. The code is CU@

2) If you are getting a hotel, make sure to use these links to get a better price. These hotels are less than a two minute drive to the venue. These offers expire on Friday, February 2nd.

Hampton
Hilton

There are ~50 seats left. Don't wait until it's too late. :(

As of right now, there's roughly six areas on the seating chart where you'll be able to fit your full team of six next to each other.

The seats are almost halfway gone. Don't wait too much longer, kids.

Coming from someone who barely watches anything ever, Black Mirror is amazing.

Registration is live! Use the coupon code CU@ to save $5. This coupon code will expire on February 1st at midnight EST.

Miggy used to talk to me a lot about various ideas for LANs and such. Very passionate guy who really cared about growing TF2. So sad to hear this. :(

Not sure but I'd imagine so.
