Side Events

To register for a side event, you will sign up at the designated desk for that side event and turn in the required number of side event tickets. Some side events have scheduled times for when they take place, but most of them are “on demand pods,” which means you can start the side event as soon as enough people have signed up. For a complete breakdown on which events are which, be sure to check out the side events below.

Anyone with an event badge can participate in side events, even if you do not participate in either the Galactic Championship main tournament or the Galactic Open side tournament.
