Tournaments are part of Pittsburgh Gaming Expo 2025; purchase of badge plus an additional $5.00 buy-in PER GAME is required to enter tournaments.
Entrants must follow the PGX Code of Conduct
Entrants under the age of 18 MUST be accompanies by an adult or legal guardian to qualify for prizes.
Registration for tournaments will close 5 minutes prior to the start of the bracket, and check-in will begin at that time.
Entrants will be asked for a phone number at check-in. This phone number will be used to notify you via text that your match is up. It will not be used by Pittsburgh Gaming Expo for anything else.
From the moment you are notified of your game via text, you will have 5 minutes to report for your game. After five minutes have passed, you will be disqualified from the entire bracket.
Due to compatibility issues and in the interest of keeping the tournaments moving at an acceptable pace, legacy controllers will not be allowed at the event unless they have been modded with a Brooks adapter or other device that allows them to work natively with Playstation 4 or Playstation 5 systems.
