I don't know if people understand that you only pre-pay for your badges online. You pay for the games you enter at the event. There will be 2 lines outside the ballroom. Prepaid and pay at the door. Prepaid line will enter the ballroom 1st while the pay at the door people will wait until the entire prepaid line is in the ballroom before we start to register them. If you prepay please make sure you have POOF of Purchase" and a "valid I.D." so you can recieve your badge. We don't any mixup's with peoples badges.
I wanted to have most of the brackets seeded and made 2 weeks before the event so I can post it on the site. This can't be done if people are not pre-paying online (for their badges only). Of course you will have people that will still want to pay more at the door and wait in the long line. Now I can't promise anyone that pays for a badge at the door that they will be placed away from the people you traveled with. If you pay for the badge at the door you will be put in the next open slot on the brackets.
That means if you came with someone there might be a chance you face them in the 1st round. Of course we try to aviod these type of problems during any FR event, but the only way to assure you not playing against your friends you traveled within the 1st 3 rounds is to prepay for your badge. We are trying to eliminate any chances of double jepordy in this years event. We can only do with your help people. Man i'm SOOOO FREANKING HYPED FOR fr13! I'll see ya'll in 4 weeks!
