yeah, my friend has the same question. he doesnt want to pay to get in and then pay for the tournament. so does anyone know for sure????

oh and im goin with my friend dimarud and ill have a red shirt and a black backpack.

Yeah, its a convention. You'll need to get into the door, and the tournament is a "side" event to the convention so you'll have to pay entry fee into the tournament. Just like you would at Origins, Gencon, etc.

ya and if u make at least top 20 it will be all worth it

So, let me get this straight:

It is X amount of money to just get into the place.

You then have to spend another $25 for the 10k event and another $20 for the PCQ? Those greedy...

(I don't know what I'll be wearing, and frankly, I don't really care. How many people are expected to show up for this?)

i'd go, but hotels food and getting everything i need would put me back $500+ not to mention i'm not the greatest. lol.

That's not them being greedy, they're just holding more events than most. I don't know about Origins, but in Philly there was just the 10K, no other PCQ's that I know of (I was there for Yu Yu Hakusho and not VS.) Pastimes only has control of what they charge for the actual tournaments, and that may even be set by UD. The entry fee into the convention is totally on Wizard World.

It doesn't matter if you're there for Yu Yu, VS, Yugi, etc. everyone is having to pay the convention entry fee and then any fees for the tournaments.

I'm just entering the 10K, not the other constructed one. If I don't make top 10, oh well. My goal then is top 20 to get cash, then top 64 to get the card, deck box, shirt, etc.

Damnit, I broke my ankle, not sure if I am going to make it there.

If I do I'll be the one with the cast on his leg. :ermm:

God, that sucks!

I'm heading out the door in a few minutes, hope you'll be there.

I'll be in my brand new Marvel VS t-shirt, courtesy of of Vsrealms.

Wish me luck!

I will see you in the Metagame coverage... luck!

Anyone see me? Like I said I was the kid with the Pink T-shirt with crutches looking for Boris and Robot Destroyers.

Got 2nd in the PCQ.

damn thats u im Dmitriy i hang out with u at pastimes and i went to the 10K and i got 12th i dident know it was u

BTW did anyone see me i got 12th i ran a FF deck i was wearing a light blue shirt and kinda whitish shorts

Hey Pulse, you remember me.

We were going to play first round in the PCQ but then our pairings got switched around because somebody entered at the last second. At least, I think that was you.

BTW, who did you lose to in the PCQ?

For those that didn't see in the other thread, I managed to eek out a 44th place finish at 3-4, after losing early to 2 of the top 8 (including the Doom/F5).

It was a great experience, and I learned a great deal about the game and what it takes to play in the 'semi-pro' circuit.

I'll be writing more later.

Dmitiry: That's cool, I didn't know who you were on realms either. :-p

Foiled: Yeah I remember.

I lost to what's his name with Brave and the Bold. Ironically I beat him round 3 2-0.

He played that game very well and deserved to win it.

Here's some bad pics:
