NYC LAN Tournament, Sat. July 13th - Page 7

1) Do the computers have Brood War?

Yes.

2) How many computers per room, how many rooms, how much each costs, etc.?

~60 total. 40 in the general area. 15 in the high-end area. 4 in each of two private rooms.

Memberships are the recommended option for players. The way this works is, you buy a $20 membership, which gives you $23 of credit for use at the venue (they throw in $3 extra). Being a member means that you pay less per hour for computers. The prices are:

General area: $4/hour, $2/hour with membership (11 hours credit)
Watercooled area: $8/hour, $4/hour with membership (5 hours credit)
Private area: $10/hour, $6/hour with membership (3 hours credit)

The added perk of membership is that if we return to this venue in the future, you will already have it and can just add money to your account as necessary. If you are not planning on entering the tournament, or don’t anticipate staying long, you can forego this option, but it is heavily recommended for tournament participants to get a membership.

We will be negotiating a package deal with the venue once we have a complete head count, in an attempt to make the price distribution more even for everyone regardless of which computers they use in which area.

3) How much space can we imaginably reserve?

As much as we need, with high-end and private areas being reserved first (most likely).

4) Will there be a stream?

Yes.

5) Can we bring a CRT + consoles?

Not enough room/outlets for this.

6) a. Are there any lounge/chilling areas?

Yes, relatively small though. The general and high end areas are relatively open-air, and there is room to stand behind players to obs FPV.

b. Extra chairs available or in close proximity?

Only a few - need to source more chairs.

7) Is there a big screen TV we can stream to?

Yes, in the entrance area, where there is some standing room.

8) Can people bring their own peripherals?

Yes.

10) Can people bring other games on USB sticks?

Yes.
