2 Dragon*Con Tournament Gaming tournament gaming Introduction and Schedule

We remain in the Atlanta Hilton minus the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Gaming section we call “Online Gaming” or “MMOs.” They are down in the Sheraton again. Really, it’s just one block south and the fresh air and short walk will do you good. We’ve even included maps, detailing which floor and what not various gaming events are being held on. We’ve got signs as well to help direct you to the proper floor and room. Most games, not all, run under our four hour session system. It’s worked for years and years and since we’ve ALL memorized the session times, it is too late to change now. If a given event shows no duration assume it is three and a half or four hours. If there is no cost listed, assume it is free. Session numbers: Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Time 1 5 9 13 9:00 AM–1:00 PM 2 6 10 14 1:00 PM–5:00 PM 3 7 11 Go 6:00 PM–10:00 PM 4 8 12 Home! 10:00 PM–2:00 AM Ideally tournament judges will manage their time so that each game is finished with fifteen minutes left in the session allowing everyone time to get to the next game. Large tournaments in some of the gaming areas do not follow this pattern, and some games run over one and a half or two sessions which is usually noted in the description area for that event. When you are looking at events in the listings, you will see that events are typically referred to by their session numbers and not the day or time. The friendly staff at Gaming Registration should also be able to answer any questions you might have or help you find the answers you need. Gaming Registration will be open Thursday evening for you early birds, we’re thinking eightish, dress is informal, gifts of food and beverage welcome, and at 8:00 AM every morning of the convention. Gaming Registration is located in the Galleria in the Atlanta Hilton. After you descend the stairs into the Galleria level, hang a left and look straight ahead. In order to play in most events you will need an event ticket. Most event tickets cost $3.00, but there are some free demonstration games and a few are more expensive. There are also Collectable Card Games that charge more but that ticket usually includes the cards you will use in your game. You can also purchase generic tickets that are usable at any event. If an event is sold out you can show up for that event with a generic ticket and if anyone with a “real” ticket for that event does not show up you will be able to step in. This is particularly true for the larger events where there is more of a chance of a no show or cancellation. People often ask why Dragon*Con charges for tickets, and we answer this question the same way we have for years and years (it’s kind of a tradition) and there are two major reasons. The first is to fund prizes for the events. We award “Dealer Coins” to the winners of some events that can be used as money in the Exhibition Hall in the Marriott. For some of the major events we have plaques and awards made. The second reason is to insure attendance of events. We’ve learned that players are much more likely to show up for a game if they’ve already spent $3.00 on a ticket. We tried not charging for events and signed up players on registration sheets in the past. However, many players signed up for everything they were remotely interested in, and then only showed up for the games they truly were interested in playing. This was unfair to fellow gamers and judges who would never know if all the names on a given registration sheet would show up. We recommend that gamers arrive at their event 10 minutes before the scheduled start time. At 10 minutes after an events scheduled start time you may lose your spot to someone with a generic ticket. We try to be accommodating to people running late but it’s not always possible. We have the Walk of Fame on the 2nd floor plus other tracks that share common interests with gaming. Remember, the MMO track is just one block south at the Atlanta Sheraton. No, you don’t need to ride the shuttle bus there but you could if you wanted.

2010 Pocket Guidebook 3 MECHCORPS at Dragon*Con MechCorps is place to let off steam by beating on your friends in a virtual arena by driving Giant Robots loaded to the teeth with guns, lasers, missiles and all types of weaponry. Eight players at a time enter the cockpit simulator pods after a short training session. Each player uses seven display screens, over fifty controls, foot pedals, throttle and joystick to take on all others. The game is easy to learn, but hard to master. Adjustable skill levels allow the novice to enjoy the game, but can also give the veterans a challenge. Mechcorps is located on the Galleria level in the northeast corner, just look for the Pods.

Sunmesa Events Sunmesa Events has partnered with Dragon*Con to host more Magic: the Gathering events than you can possibly play. This year’s schedule will include a one of a kind Rochester Draft of all the cards found in Zendikar, Worldwake, and The Rise of the Eldrazi sets. Endless drafts, tournaments for complete sets of foils. Dozens of free, casual and learn to play events, all supported by expert judges and staff.

The Score at Dragon*Con Joining the fun this year is Nashville’s own, The Score. They are bringing over thirty consoles including Xbox, Wii, and Playstation 3. There will be Rock Band, Dance Dance Revolution and other tournaments throughout the weekend.
