Where do you Register for Tournaments?

Can anyone please tell me do we need to register in advance for Tournaments at Pax or do we just do it when we arrive? Specifically Star Wars X-wing?

    Tournament registration occurs on the day of the tournament at that department.

    I haven't seen any announcements about what tourneys will occur, but if there were to be an X-Wing tourney (assuming you're talking about the minis game), then you'd sign up at Tabletop Tournament (which is somewhere in the giant Tabletop area).

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

    Hi Guys,

    Just wondering if anyone has any specific details about the tournaments on this year.

    For example, on the first day at 10AM there is a Sonic the Hedgehog Speedrun tournament on the Sega Genesis. Does anyone know or know how to find out what level(s) they will be using for the Speedruns?

    Other details such as player amounts for console games and such would be nice to know too.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @AdultCrash and @AnarchyAngel - X-Wing Miniatures tournament registration will happen at Tabletop HQ. You'll need to bring your own ships: each event will be an 8-player, 3-round mini tournament for 70 point lists.

    TableTop schedule of events extracted from published schedule as at 10-Oct-14. Items have been grouped by type and recurrence. Most items in schedule do not include description of event more than a couple of words. Where a meaningful description was present, this is replicated at the bottom of this list. Some events on Sunday are listed to finish after we have all packed up and gone home which I assume in a typo for the moment though not changed here as this was merely a screen scrape and organised for clarity. All this is for information only as it is no doubt subject to change.

    Hi everyone! Please note that the list of events above is incomplete as we have added some new ones - follow @paxaus_tt on Twitter for updates and notifications.

    For Tabletop events and tourneys, come to TTHQ at the very far end of the exhibition building to register - all registrations are on the day ONLY, except for the big Power Grid event where we will take some registrations on Friday.
