Somebody from Replay (not sure if it was Doug or Mark) posted a while back that they were negotiating details for next year with the union/venue and would announce as soon as they had things locked down ... which is not yet.

Replay FX is July 27-30th, Tickets go on sale December 3rd for pinburgh. You'll need the 26th as a travel day because action starts early on the 27th, but you can head back on the 30th without taking any extra days off as finals are Saturday.

There's no show at all Wednesday - but you can early register at 7pm-ish so you don't have to do that in the morning. So really, it's just get there and settle in for the next day, maybe explore pittsburgh a bit if you're early enough. In theory, you could get an early flight at go Thursday morning, but that doesn't sound wise at the start of 2 long days of pinball.

I THINK warm up is allowed on the pinburgh banks from door open on Thursday until some point just before the tournament starts, but I'm not 100% sure on that one --- but it's 280 games, of which you'll play 20, so that's a crap shoot anyway, even if possible.
