Edited and condensed for anyone else who is curious. Please lock if there is no more pertinent information to add right now.

Where is the BYOC going to be this year? There are various rumours.

When/where can we register for this?

The BYOPC will in fact be an option this year, but will be a separate registration, as will all tournaments. Keep an eye on the forums as well as your inbox in the upcoming weeks for the link.

    I was actually wanting to bring my new pc this year, but if it is going to be in a hotel, I am not so sure about that (not so sure as in stuff 'walking off' or whatever, especially if it is not going to be directly inside the centre.)
    But the Meydenbauer isn't big enough to hold what PAX has become: this year, it will take up space in three separate hotels, with unprecedented space for LAN gaming, tabletop, and console play.

    It sounds like it's being placed in one of the hotels...

    Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.

    I don't think it'll be 24 hours due to security requirements and power requirements. Securitywise, it would have to be staffed/volunteered overnight and I don't think anybody would want to stay up all night. The guys looked pretty bored as it was during the daytime!

    Thats because after we got everything set up there was nothing else to do but watch the door and manage the freeplay area. The LPNW guys (people running the BYOC) were able to sit and play games since there were no problems with any of the servers, network, or power.
    Me and my security were just sitting and BS'ing while checking badges and checking newcommers in.

    Our boredom also spawned the videogame trivia on the projector I had, the guess the obsecure game thing from a screenshot, the AMD swag giveaway (w00t PAX!), and me pimping my computer chair to various people :P

    er... that might be just a tad too big considering there will be limited space between the isles.

    Plus im quite sure theres some firecode thing to an immoveable object in an isle.

    That's the beauty of isles! They're surrounded by water on all sides, so even if there is a fire, you've got options!

    Yes! One final thing - how do I register to bring my pc in? I know previous years it was directly on the pre-registration to fill out, but do I just show up with my computer this year?
