My vacation days are limited. Before I register, could anyone confirm if Melee singles pools will be day 1 or day 2.
I searched for this info, but without the Event Schedule, it's difficult to plan ahead.
Thanks in advance.

What are the restrictions on controllers? I normally use a wireless gamecube controller... and it has a macro button, but I don't use macro. Do I need to remove the button entirely? I'm not really comfortable with any other controller, and I don't want to be DQ'd or something

So how exactly is the venue bus accessible? Haven't been able to find anything from NJ transit and it's at least 2 miles from the nearest rail station
We are working to provide transportation to the venue from the rail station.

Any idea when a tentative schedule will be posted?
We are currently working towards a finalized schedule. It should be posted sometime next week.

If I pre-register and later find out I'm not able to attend, would I be able to get a refund?
Refunds typically cease when registration ends.

You're telling me that you cannot register with a PayPal payment?
Contact apex.series@gmail.com with your request.

If we're participating in a tournament, do we need a spectator's pass to watch matches in the same tournament?
No, a player pass functions as a spectator pass as well.

What are the restrictions on controllers? I normally use a wireless gamecube controller... and it has a macro button, but I don't use macro. Do I need to remove the button entirely? I'm not really comfortable with any other controller, and I don't want to be DQ'd or something
Wireless controllers are fine; however, no external modifications are allowed (This includes macro buttons;even default macro buttons on 3rd party controllers.)

My vacation days are limited. Before I register, could anyone confirm if Melee singles pools will be day 1 or day 2. I searched for this info, but without the Event Schedule, it's difficult to plan ahead.

Thanks in advance.
We are still creating the schedule, so no definitive answer can be given. It is recommended you come on day 1 and stay all 3 days.

Hey. I'm not sure if this has been asked earlier in this thread but is the Apex 2014 special rate for the hotel only during the weekend? How much is the normal price per night if me (and possibly some other guys from Finland) need to stay at the hotel before and/or after the tournament?

Also the only way to book a room is to call the number in the OP?

I booked the hotel for 4 nights and got the discount rate for all of them (Thursday through Sunday). Not sure about prices if you book for longer, but there's that. :)

Actually might be able to make Apex this year. Won't register just yet so I can make sure to clear some things (this is right after Defend the North) but I'm getting a little hyped. Will probably enter Melee and Brawl singles and probably Tekken. If there is a Soul side then I'd be down for that too.

Is it recommended to purchase my flight now or wait? Last year, I bought my flight during a SW sale for $187. Right now, I can buy my flight for $375. Should I wait to see if I can try my luck again?

The call out!
