Yup, what Auricon said is true. You only have to pay once, RM35 for registration fee. After that, you can try to qualify for every week (Week 1 to Week 4). Even if you fail in Week 1, you can try again during Week 2, 3 and/or 4 free of charge! That's very great. 

I've entered tournaments before where if you want to try again, you have to pay again the registration fee... that kind of tournament is so cekik darah. 

And the www.eswc.com.my website is now online. You can go there for more information. Please note that I have confirmation from the organisers that there won't be any converters supplied for PES5: if you want to play using a PS2 gamepad, you have to bring your own converters. Those using USB gamepads are okay, coz those gamepads don't need any converters.

Good luck everyone! I've registered... I hope to meet you all on 6th May! 

Auricom, are you in charge of the running of the tournament? Are you sure there aren't any registration fees for joining the tournament? I think there is one lah: a one time registration fee of RM35. This is because the person in charge at the CC told me that I have to pay for registration, at least once.

But from what I have reconfirmed by asking the guy in charge of the CC just now, there will be 8 slots per week available. But you can't just simply come to play any time: this is because you need to submit the registration form latest by 4th May 2006, which is before the prelims for Week 1.

Thus, this leaves us with the high possibility that the organisers will collect all the forms submitted, then divide the players into each week's qualifiers. And for Weeks 1, 2 and 3, the winner will go on to the finals in Week 4 (on Saturday). The losers from Weeks 1,2 and 3 (possibly 7 per Week, if all the slots are filled up) will go on to the Losers' qualifiers on Week 4 (on Friday), where they will play each other, and there, the top 5 players will go on to the finals on Saturday.

Therefore, we can see that in a way, the qualifiers are also a bit like 'double elimination': even the losers will have one last chance to qualify via Week 4...

But this is just based on what I asked the guy in charge at the CC. Are the organisers reading this? Can you please confirm whether what I write here is true?
