Craig:

Venue is open at 8am on Wed. Anyone can show up and start building. Mind you, thats when the arena is getting built, and the pit tables probably wont show up til 8am Thur., but you can come as early as we do.

We cant get you, sorry. Id recommend a bluevan shuttle from the airport to Ft. Mason. Around US$30.

HOtels are walking distance from the venue.

Andy can judge, so long as he gives Americans wins over the brits... ;-)
Actually, we use a different scoring system, so Andy you just have to familiarize yourself with it. Aggression is 5 pt split and damage is a 6 point split. Id post a link to the judgin rules, but I cant find them (SUCK!) I will when I put them up on the site.
