How will you be taking payments for the Pre-reg by the way? Is it by credit card only or can you use paypal?

It was paypal only last year.

Voa

Need to get my internet banking sorted so...also also, how do we check what tournaments we're registered for, is there any kind of list floating about?

kurama_tengu

@Voa: Yes, PayPal only, like last year.

And the pre-registered player list is here: http://www.worldgamecup.com/register/register_list.php?tournoi=0

chopperbyrne

They opened up the proper registration today.

You should be sent an email with links to pay for each event by paypal.

If you didn't register using the same email you use for paypal, then email them after payment with the reference number.

They were really good at sorting out any issues last year.

As chopperbyrne said:

Once I get the go-ahead to do all the shenanigans I need to do to get paypal running properly, I'll be able to put some cash in to pay the fee.
Still debating flights though...


Also, if I turn up on the Friday (after 11) but don't have any tournaments till Saturday, can I still take my badge from the "admin" booth at any time?

Xinkai

Kurama if we pre-reg on the website, can we pay our money at the venue?

No. This wasn't allowed last year either and would be a logistical nightmare for them.

kurama_tengu

@Voa: I will most likely man the booth in the mornings (it will close at noon).
But don't hesitate to find me when you're there, I will do what I can (I can't promise anything though, as I will help on both the stages & the casual area).

You won't be able to enter the WGC zone without a badge. If you want to play a few casuals/train: pick up your badge!

@Xinkai: Online registration is pretty much designed to NOT have to carry around a cash register at the venue: it's easer & more secure.

But don't hesitate & ask if you have trouble with PayPal!

Don't forget about the Arcade Area tournaments:

Hello everyone,

I am TKO, one of the managers of VS Dojo, one of Paris arcade centers (http://www.versusdojo.com).

As you probably know already, in a little over a month there will be the 2011 edition of the WGC (http://www.worldgamecup.com).

For the first time, the WGC will have an entire area dedicated to the best arcade fighting games of the time!

6 awesome tournaments will take place:

Attention: spots are limited!

And more importantly, ONE CAN ONLY REGISTER ON THE INTERNET!

If you like Street Fighter, KOF, Guilty Gear and good fights, you really shouldn't miss this opportunity!

The format of these tournaments guarantees less experienced players a chance to win.

The best French players will attend, and we hope that other European players & Maghreb players will be there to step up to the challenge.

All the registered players for tournaments of the arcade area will have access to casuals/freeplay on
all the cabs during the 3 days of the World Game Cup.

Victory awaits you warriors...

And let's finish with a grand tournament tradition, the parting banter (let's keep it short):

REGISTER NOW!!!


PS: Please check the price list for the partner hotels/residences if only to compare the prices.

Voa

Registered...now, about that character locking, is that whenever we pickup the badge, we give you our character choices?

Sairus

Is anyone interested in entering the 3v3 AE tourney here? I'd throw my name in for the craic if anyone's interested.

TastyC

Alright Irish mans, TastyC here, some of you might rememebr be from last years Cannes, looking forward to seeing you guys this year (and the drinking )

But anyways, anyone registering for the ST arcade tournament? Currently there's 3 players from the UK registered, which means as it's a 2v2 tournament I'm left in the cold.

Anyone interested? I play Honda btw

Oh and maybe same for 3S depending on whether I can get there on time.

Looking forward to the craic and beers as last year! :cool:

Myself and Dan are registered for the 2v2, but I'm not sure if anyone else travelling plays SFII. Sairus maybe or Voa.

Doctor DooM

Tasty I just got the good news I can go.

I'll play in the ST 2 v 2 if you like but be warned I might as well be a noob at it.

Still I play Guile and back forward punch fundamentals go some way

Oi Sairus, you stealing my place or what? Cos I'd like it otherwise!


EDIT: Just booked flights

Sairus, you want in on the SF 2 v 2?

I'm down with either people tbh

How are you guys booking hotels? I've got 3 people who wanna bunk but I'm not sure where/how to book? :S

Doctor DooM

I'm waiting to hear back from Chopper.

Deffo don't want to be 6 people to a room again, although this is what happens when you trust Chunkis!

I'd be happy to take the spot, but if yee guys want to take DooM and y'know, have a better chance of winning, that's fine by me!

Also, I've only really played HDR, so I'll be exceptionally bad at ST for the 2v2. I'm not sure it'd be worth my entering
If no one else wants to join your team I'll do it though :pac: Rock out some epic Cammy or something.

chopperbyrne

Team Discovery Channel 3D is myself, Dan and Sairus.

Going to book the hotel at the weekend, if it ends up like last year, I'll need money from people before we leave.

Can anyone who has booked flights PM me, so I know how many to book for.

Meh, depends on the character in HDR really, most you can play pretty similar in ST

Except Cammy and Fei pretty much.

But yeah, basically, someone's up for a team which is good enough for me

Well, Aer Lingus jacked up the flights to 241 euro

No way I can afford that aswell as a hotel =/

It kills me inside to say, I'm out of this :(:(

You work in a full time job, live at your parents and got paid last Friday. How can you not afford that?

A-Trak

Give him a break Ger, he's getting married. Cosplay weddings cost a pretty penny.

Xinkai

If I have to explain myself, I pay bills, Job messed up my wages, so after bills I had 700 euro left. I then bought a 200 euro 3V card. Now I have 500. I am not going out & buying a 250 euro 3V card again.

Orim

Could've just said you spent it on coke and hookers

Xinkai

That's what the last 250 was for
