Common Questions
I am a relatively new / casual player. Can I attend? Yes! Our competitions are amateur level, so it’s a great way to just have fun playing with others, learn strategy or get into a more serious competition.
Do I need to have a team in order to play? No. Since this is a 1v1 game, once all the players register, the brackets will be randomly generated and you will be placed into a slot.
How much game time will I get? We offer double-elimination which means you’ll play at least two full games.
How can I see who I am competing against? We have bracket info available on our website so you can check standings on your smartphone and see who you are playing against. The information is also displayed on multiple large screens in the game rooms.
Are spectators welcome? Yes! We only ask that you purchase an inexpensive drink or snack to help defray costs of running the event.
What about food? There are a number of fast food restaurants on Miramar Road, a few minutes from us. We also have concessions available (see our pricing page for the full menu).
