I'm new to PAX, how do I join a tourney?
Hey everyone, as the title says, I'm new to PAX. I do not know how to join a tourney. Do I have to do something in advance, or just go to the tourney when it starts and sign up?

On the day of the tournament, just head to the area where the tournament is set to take place (pc, tabletop, handheld, so on) and one of the enforcers there will be able to direct you to where the sign ups are. You should do this first thing in the morning on the day of the tournament as popular tournaments tend to fill up fast.
Unless anything has changed, that's how it's been.
Thanks so much.
Now is the Minecraft tournament PvP, or...?
Firstly, welcome to PAX East! I hope you have a great time. :biggrin:
As far as tourney details go, we typically don't know specifics until the day of. However, some have general details in the Guidebook app (the link is on the main PAX East page) listing for that tourney (ex: Super Smash Bros lists "64 players 4-way FFA").
There's nothing listed for the Minecraft tournament just yet, but these update frequently so check often. Hope that helps!
I HIGHLY doubt they would have you bring your own game copy.
For the console tourneys, those are all arranged and set up. For the handhelds, though they have copies of the game to borrow, you might want to bring your own just to be safe.
I believe (someone can correct me) the pc area has Xbox controllers at each of the stations. I remember playing duck game and using an Xbox controller at the time.
For anyone who has won a video/board game tournament at PAX, what prizes have you seen? Do you get credit for the merch booth,tshirts, random board games?
