[KharismaKid]

So, anyone coming in on Thursday morning or the afternoon? I wanna get games in ASAP.

 

[LP]

Alright then, much appreciated. That about takes care of my hotelling.

We'll need a way of letting you know the room number.

 

[Ringout]

I believe a couple us are coming in Thursday. I'm flying in and arriving by 330. Always down for some casuals.

Sorry for not getting back with you sooner. I will not be attending Final Round. :(

Thanks for extending an arm.

Does anyone have instructions for how to take the battery out of a ps3 controller so it wont be considered wireless? Is it just as simple as unscrew it, and then take that shit out?

Oh hell. We need to do that?

 

[KharismaKid]

Yes guys, ALL wireless pads are banned from FR this year, so you'll have to take the battery out of your pad and wire it up via USB into the console.

These are the steps that I followed to taking out my battery. http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_5162938_apart-ps-controller.html

If anyone isn't able to get their battery out in time for the tournament, I'll have an extra pad that you guys can borrow for your matches.

 

[Jimbonator]

Just to be absolutely sure, I have an exclusively wired PS3 controller, I don't need to mingle with that do I?

 

[KharismaKid]

Nope, you're good Jimbo.

1. Flip the controller over and remove the five screws that hold that two halves of the controller together. There will be two screws on each handle and one screw in the centre of the controller. Once all the screws are removed, take the back cover off the controller and set it aside.
2. 2
   Locate and remove the battery pack for the PS3 controller. The battery is the black square in the centre of the controller. There will be two wires leading away from the battery and attached to the motherboard. Lift up on the plastic tab that holds down the wires and set aside the battery pack. Once the battery is removed, take out the white plastic piece on which the battery pack was resting. This piece will not be connected by anything so it will lift out freely.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ quoted from his link ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Do we need to connect these 2 wires that were connected to the battery to anything? or just get the battery out, leave the wires dangling, and then it will still work with usb wire?

 

[KharismaKid]

You can just take the battery out and leave the wires hanging around, no need to connect them to anything.

 

[Jimbonator]

YO DIS IS IMPORTANT FER ME.

I get in ATL tomorrow around 5:30 PM via megabus and I REALLY don't wanna shell out dosh for a cab. Is there anyone or anyway willing to give me a lift to the venue when I get into ATL?

 

[SCPartisan]

Hey guys, did a last minute interview with one of the TOs for FR.

Check it out here: http://8wayrun.com/threads/sctier-pre-final-round-xvi-podcast.16124/#post-607636

Might have some relevant info for you guys regarding the stream, door registration and the controller rule.

You damn skippy. Seattle doesn't fuck around with that layover nonsense.

I'm in the Hilton lobby right now if someone wants to come down and bug me, or invite me back to their room for some...games.
