Hey guys. This weekend I am prepared to head out to GP SeaTac for my first ever GP. I have scoured the internet, including the GP info thread (which was very helpful) but I can't find the answer to a few particular questions:
1. How many of the delver sleeves will be given out? I need to know if I should buy seperate sleeves or if I can just use those for my deck.
2. How long does day 1 typically go for?
3. One of my friends says that you have to pay extra to get the playmat/sleeves/deckbox, which contradicts everything I've read on the internet. Which is true?
4. I have also heard something about how even if you've signed up already, you have to go on site to confirm your registration before Saturday. Is that true?
5. I am currently a minor. Are there any forms that would require a parent signature?
6. Anything else I should know?
I know this doesn't help, but does anyone know how many tix prizes are (ex: are booster packs like 10 tix? Or 1 tix? )Obviously this would make a huge difference on what the prizing is for the side events. How many are playmats? If anyone has had experience with past gp tix structures, that would be helpful.

That site doesn't actually answer a lot of the aforementioned questions.
1) It doesn't say, but art sleeves usually come in 80. I'd guess it'll be 80 Delver sleeves, with an outside chance of 100. You'll almost certainly get enough for your deck, although you probably shouldn't count on using them right away. I don't know how CFB does it, but different tournament organizers hand out the 'free goodies' in different ways. Some have a line you can pick them up from at your leisure, some give them out at the player meeting. If it's the latter, you won't get them until just a few minutes before round 1 starts, and I wouldn't count on having enough time to sleeve your deck at that point.
2) The last GP I went to a few weeks ago ended day 1 a little after 10 pm. Obviously, this number varies based on many factors (GP Madison both started later and was Sealed instead of Legacy), but I'd ballpark it for somewhere in that range.
3) You have to pay extra to get the side event playmat (or play certain side events), but there's no extra charge for the Delver mat, sleeves, or deckbox. (The 'VIP' registration does include a second pack of Delver sleeves and deckbox, though.)
4) I don't think so. This might be location-specific, though.
5) Yes, there is a release form. You can go here, print a copy, get it signed beforehand, and just bring the signed waiver to the GP.
6) Good luck and have fun!

Prize Walls vary by vendor. Looking at the prize structures here, it looks like packs will be 10 tix, and other prizes will scale accordingly to that (ie, if they're valuing packs at $3, a $15 playmat would be 50 tix). I could be wrong, but that looks 99% likely.

Searching for the info was difficult?
