Fairly certain PS3 pads using the USB cable bypasses that rule too, but it won't apply to a 360 tourney obviously.

Yeah good points. Basically I was just making sure those guys who use madcatz pads didnt read rule that and think they were being screwed

I highly doubt I'll be able to make this, my college end of year exhibition is on the 27th and if I realistically wanted to make this, I'd have to pay for two nights in Dublin or somewhere close to the location. Basically, not enough cash to cover both events.

Good luck to those who will be travelling, though.

The annoucment today on the site more than doubled our usual hits.

I think it's on the same day as the last day of my Saturday classes for this term that I really wouldn't wanna miss. Shame, would've liked to at least show up for support even if I didn't enter!

Won't be able to go. Playing a gig.

Sigh. Just like in the real world, you get rid of one dictator for a while, and another take over.

Currently I'm down to work that Saturday =/ Not that I would even be getting out of groups. Best of luck you guys!

I'm not sure about this. Firstly, isn't even only played on sticks? Idk. If evo is played on PS3 then why are we having the comp on 360. As a ps3 pad player this sucks for me, ha. I doubt it I'll enter.

Fairly certain Sisko has a spare PS2>360 converter so if you want to play on PS2 pad, that's open to you.

Edit: Or just buy one for almost nothing: http://cgi.ebay.ie/New-PS2-controller-Xbox-360-converter-adapter-cable-/280507871693?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_VideoGames_VideoGameAccessories_VideoGameAccessories_JN&hash=item414f9271cd

You can use pads at evo and evo is ps3 only as they got a deal from sony or something.Didn't you use someones converter to use a ps3 pad on xbox vs cobelcog in the final the last time?

Hope you can make it anyway,this looks to have the best prize out of all the tournaments so far and hopefully EVERYONE will make it.

Ye I used a PS2 pad. I'll try make it for it. Should be fun anyway.

Can I ask is this being run for profit, or are all entry fee's being offset against the cost of prizes?

If the TE is being bought from the entry pot, I think that's a bit silly. The majority of players at the top level already have TEs or don't use sticks at all. That money could be put to better use for the EVO flights.

I had assumed that gamesnash would be providing it, or something of the like.
As nice as gamesnash is(apparently) It is a bit out of the way for a comp.

Also Did evo give us a space/something or is that coming out of the entry fee, like we talked about at xgc a few weeks back?
