We are in the process of going over all of our notes from last year and making adjustments to the rules where necessary. Nothing has been finalized at this time.

Pre-registration will be opening up soon. However, you do not need to pre-register for PAPA as there is no player cap, unlike Pinburgh.
If you are coming in from out of town early, there will be some Pre-PAPA tournaments held at various places around the city as well.
Quoted from Skulz:Any dates/locations on those tournaments and any hotel block room discounts coming soon?
Thanks in advance!
Yes and yes. More info coming in the next few weeks as we get things into place.

Some new changes, including new division restriction rules: http://papa.org/papa-tournaments/papa-world-championships/papa-17-world-championships/#changes
Quoted from Whysnow:noticed a typo? my guess is that is supposed to be 10am - 11AM? for check in
Sunday – August 17, 2014
10am – 3am – Finalists in A, B, and C divisions must check in
Yup. Typo. Thanks for the heads up. It will be corrected.
Quoted from Whysnow:any thoughts to making some sort of payout for C division 17th to 24th? Just curious if it was considered?
A, B, C and Classics all only payout to 16. We have expanded the field to give more people a chance to make the playoffs, but are still only paying top 16 in each division.
Quoted from chadderack:Please provide details if they are known, so we can plan flights and hotels. Thank you!
Working on details now, but there will at least be events around the city on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before PAPA.
Quoted from Whysnow:Limited time off and fund means I need to save the $$ from extra night hotel and also need to be back to work on Mon.
How easy is it to arrange taxi/transport from PAPA to airport. There is a 7:25 flight out also, so I could make a later flight.
If I do not make playoffs, are the non-tourney bank of games still open for play on Sunday? Chances are I wil not make playoffs so I would also hate to be waiting on a later flight that is not needed.
Most of the games not involved in the tournament are available for play on Sunday. There will easily be over 350+ games outside of the tournament for the weekend.
Quoted from funtimewithdave:Question. If I plan on going Thursday only, what's the game selection going to look like? Less than the 350 on Sunday?
Nope. You will actually probably have the most all weekend on Thursday because nothing will have stopped working yet
