Phillpro1 · January 17

Yeah I was thinking about Megabusing it to Atlanta from florida and then maybe catching a ride with one of the Atl crew if possible. I'll just try and see which one is cheaper for me.

Saitsu · January 17

I know I'm likely bussing, but that's only from a couple hours away. But I'll have to find someone to crash with this time around. Don't have the extra coin for my own room.

GDX · January 17

Orlando to philly is usually cheap. When I went to NEC it was like 200 bucks roundtrip

eric · January 18

I'm working on getting you guys some great drink and food special at the Hotel Sports Bar.

Also I'm looking into doing some pre-wb7-tournaments Friday night in the Sports Bar. Can you say party time till 4am.

LSlick · January 18

What about a Skullgirls side tournament? I would love to see this game at the tournament...Come on Big E :D

eric · January 20

Someone is trying to set that up.

2Nasty · January 21

the last real tournaments I went too was FR7 and FR8. This looks like a good time for me to come out of retirement. sucks that I've been living in philly for 3 years now and just found out tournaments like this have been happening only 30 minutes away from me. I'll add my games and such at a later date.

eric · January 21

Wow 30 mins. :(

eric · January 21

Just got some news from the holiday inn, there will be another event going on in the area the same weekend as wb7 and their rooms are selling out fast. Please book your rooms now. ASAP.

There are room discounts. Eric was just saying to book as soon as possible as there is another event in the area. Once the deadline for these rooms pass (usually 20 days before an event, but it could be more than that), they open up to the general public. The discount will be available, but it'll be first come first serve for a room.

When we do these events, we block off an amount of rooms just for our events. These rooms can only be booked with the (for example) ECT code. If you were to book it without the code, you wouldn't get the discount, nor would you be counted towards our group rate. Once the deadline passes however, the code is active for the discount, but that block of rooms is no longer exclusive.

AvariceX · January 22

Booking my time off work and hotel room asap. Big E tourneys are the truth.

A little late here, but if you're not afraid to open the stick and touch a circuit board there are some fairly easy options for modifying a 360 TE to work on PS3 as well. The Kitty should work on most (all?) models of TE. The Cerberus will work on most TEs except the oldest models. Head over to the Tech Talk forum and look around for "dual mod" for more information.

HuBBsDoctor · January 26

It's only a month away. Get Hyped!!!

GDX · January 26

got my plane ticket (thank you based southwest), got my registration paid, and got my hotel room (although I would like to stay with someone else to cut costs for the love of god)

hype!

ShinBlanka · February 4

Great job Eric Small on getting the EVO qual for the players of the NE! Your selfless efforts for the community for over 13 years should have never be over looked in the 1st place IMO and i'm glad the NE will have a qualifier for Evo2k13! With that said, rejoice NE as Eric has come to the rescue once again for you guys! With WB7 only 3 weeks away you better get those hotel rooms and pre reg online for the games you'll be trying to qualify for EVO2k13 and for "The FALL CLASSIC"!

dumba989 · February 4

Why are you flying into AC and not Philly? Not meant as a mean question, but AC is really nowhere near Philly in terms of driving.

Spirit Airlines only flies to ACY and plane tickets are about $110 cheaper if I can get a ride. I figure SOMEBODY has gotta be going from there.

Where are you flying in from? Reason I'm pointing this out is that geographically AC is close, but you literally need to drive all the way north, go back into greater NJ, and then turn and drive south into Philly.

Do you have to fly Spirit? Maybe I can help you find a different airline.

Sorwah · February 6

What you're saving in plane cost you'll easily double in gas costs.

eric · February 6

Got some Bad news for you players, if you haven't book a room YOUR DONE LOL.

"sold out for Saturday night. So I would only have rooms on
Friday or Sunday. The Flyers are playing Winnipeg Saturday" from the sale person. :(

SweetJohnnyCage · February 6

The Sheraton have a block available?

eric · February 6

I'm working on it John.

Attention all players if your planning on paying at the door the venue fee will now be $45 at the door the day of the tournament.

If you come Friday night and pay your venue and sign up for games, than I will still let you pay $40, that's just for Friday night only.

Also you can save a ton on money and just pre-reg online for $30

Sorry about doing this last minute :( (we're trying to get pools up online early)

eric said:
Ok players if you entering 2012, Umvc3, tekken tag 2, mk9, p4A and kof13, we will be taking registration for those games from 8am-12pm, after 12pm if your not in the line you will not be in the tournament SORRY.

This must happen this way for everything to run on time.

Remember you can pre-reg Friday night at the main ballroom door from 8pm - 11pm

SO IF YOU KNOW YOUR ALWAYS LATE, THAN YOU NEED TO PRE-REG ONLINE ASAP.
