Hi Everyone,
This will be my first year at PAX, but I saw that last year there were MKDS and TetrisDS tournaments, along with others. Does anybody know any information as to if there will be any type of tournaments this year and when we might know what games they will be based on? I'd like to start training for them :) Thanks!

    This isn't my area, and I don't know a lot of the details, but I know there are definitely plans for handheld tournaments.

    I would expect that details will start trickling in pretty soon.

    I don't know if there are any official tournaments announced this year. Last year they had Meteos I think... and maybe Tetris DS and Metroid Prime Pinball as well.

    I don't know if they were part of the console area or if they were their own thing last year. If they are part of consoles, all of the console tournaments are announced already.

    I hope the official schedule is posted on the PAX site soon though.

    There is a handheld gaming area(s) again this year, it would be silly not to have tournaments again ;)

    There needs to be a D/P tourney (obviously) and a Planet Puzzle League tourney as well. Along with the staples clearly.

    One half of the glorious Team Inconsistant. Screwed into 3rd place at the '06 Double Dash tournament.

    I humbly request Tetris DS and Planet Puzzle League, and maybe Elite Beat Agents just to mix it up a little.

    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze

    Handheld kinda got screwed this year by being on the bottom of the list of things to work on. But its being worked on now.

    Uhhh why did you post this? The orginal question was already answered. This serves no useful purpose other than to attempt to flame a mod.
