PAX Badges /are/ required in Tabletop

in PAX West
I've been hearing rumors that people think Attendee badges are not required to play in Tabletop Tournaments... that is not true.

Attendee badges must be displayed inside every room and at every Tabletop table at the WSCC and Motif Hotel.

If you would like to play a game with your friends and family that didn't manage to get a badge, please do so in a hotel lobby or space that is outside the bounds of the orange Tabletop areas on the maps. It sucks for everyone when an Enforcer has to ask someone to leave because they don't have a badge for some reason... especially if it's in the middle of a board game.

Thank you.

    From what I remember of tabletop @ the Olive 8 last year, a badge was also required to participate within official PAX spaces. Definitely makes sense, especially with games being loaned out.

    The issue is that there are public areas within the WSCC and the various pax-ified hotels. Many people mistake the existence of these public areas for the ability to use PAX areas without a badge. All areas within PAX require a badge.

    Sorry if this seems repetitive and slightly off topic, but this also applies to BYOC. There has been confusion about this in the past. A BYOC badge does not alleviate your PAX badge requirements.

    yeah, a BYOC badge does not grant entry to PAX. You must have entry to PAX with a PAX badge first, and then once inside your BYOC badge grants entry to BYOC.

    Did I miss that it was announced that tabletop would be at the Motif this year? At Pax12' it was in the Red Lion(Motif), Pax13' it was in the Olive 8.

    Red Lion for tabletop makes me sad. They're quite diligent about shoving out the CB.

    I'm not sure if that was formally announced yet, so consider that the announcement. TT will in fact be at Motif this year.

    Is it PAX <insert nearest future PAX here> yet?

    That shouldn't be a problem this year.

    I super hope you're right.

    Happily on Sabbatical. Don't bug me.

    Have the Cookie Brigade Queen (King? Commander? President?) send me a PM via these forums. I want to make sure you have the access you want.

    Nice! I am staying at the Red Lion so it'll be nice to have it there. I just hope their elevators are up to the task as it was a gong show in Pax12'
