I'm hyped for this tournament.
However, I have some concerns right now with the way it's being handled before hand.
First of all, there doesn't appear to be any specific schedule released in terms of the time/day that tournaments are being held. And this is something that I need to know, because if the SC4 tournament is only on Saturday, then I will want to buy a 2 day theme park passes for Friday and Sunday. And I would like to buy those passes ahead of time so not knowing the exact tournament schedule makes me buying the tickets a gamble.
Also, my other concern is the pre-registration for the tournament at
http://gamme.eventbrite.com/. If you click on "more info" under Soul Calibur IV, it says:
"Soul Calibur IV: Singles - Please use SRK/8wayrun Name or Handle in First Name Box and please add Zip Code - this will help with Regional separation of Ladders"
However, there is no first name box or zip code box at any point from that pre-reg page, to the last page where you do the final paypal payment transaction. Although this shouldn't be a problem when it comes to picking up your tickets because they still get the email associated with the payment, I don't get how they will set up the brackets ahead of time with only the email address. The pre-registration seems very poorly set up. I emailed GPX Gaming about this and have yet to receive a response.
And the last thing is this website,
http://www.gamm-expo.com/. Back in November they posted "The GAMME Website is almost completed testing on IE, FireFox and Google Chrome, still finishing some of the updates and will have the site ready asap.", and now around half a year later the website isn't opened yet. I was hoping the website would show tournament schedules etc. But GAMME is nearing a month away and it's still not up yet. =\
Anyways, hopefully GPX Gaming will get back to me on my email, but I figured I'd post my concerns here as well in case anyone has any answers.
