Paid ticket holders get a guaranteed player spot. We reserve 8 player spots for free ticket holders and more player spots might be available depending on attendance. Free ticket holders are not guaranteed a player spot\, but you do get priority over walk-ins. After 2:30 PM paid ticket holders forfeit their player spot. \n\n\n\n3\, 2\, 1\, RACE: We will call your matches and tell you where to go. You will sit down and play in pods of three to four with easy CPUS on three random tracks. At the end of your match\, record what place you got on the scorecard given to you and report back to the organizers. Wait times between matches may be up to 25 minutes. \n\n\n\nNEXT LAP: Each match afterwards you will face people that scored similar to you. We’ll try to get as many rounds in as we can.

Traditional tournaments give structure\, but are stressful and people are eliminated quickly if they don’t know how to play well. Free play is less stressful\, but without any structure people can be stuck waiting forever to play and skill disparities are unmanaged. Our system gives just enough structure so that everyone gets to play plenty and they get to play against people close to their skill level while no one is ever eliminated. \n\n\n\nPrizes\n\n\n\nAll prizes are provided by NC Eclectic Esports. \n\n\n\n1st Place Prize \n\n\n\n\nNC Eclectic Esports T-Shirt\n\n\n\nKawaii snack\n\n\n\nCollectible NC Eclectic Esports sticker\n\n\n\n1st Place Pin\n\n\n\n\n2nd Place Prize \n\n\n\n\nKawaii snack\n\n\n\nCollectible NC Eclectic Esports sticker\n\n\n\n2nd Place Pin\n\n\n\n\n3rd Place Prize \n\n\n\n\nCollectible NC Eclectic Esports sticker\n\n\n\n3rd Place Pin\n\n\n\n\n4th Place Prize \n\n\n\n\n4th Place Pin\n\n\n\n\nPlushie Giveaway \n\n\n\n\nOne player that isn’t in the top 4 will get a plushie as a prize\n\n\n\n\nPhysical Accessibility\n\n\n\nGizmo Brew Works – Durham Taproom has a nearby parking lot.
