Are you prepared for another exciting, action-packed, LAN party?
Well get ready, because the Fall 2008 BYOC is under way!
This semesters event will be held on November 22nd at the Pennsylvania College of Technology field house located in Williamsport Pennsylvania! The theme is Ninja's and Pirates-so be ready to choose your side!
Last semester we pulled in over 250 gamers from all over the east coast, this makes us the largest LAN party in Pennsylvania! We expect no less this time around!
All participants will be required to register for the tournaments before they start. Tournament registration will take place on a first come first served basis on the day of the event. Official tournament rules will be listed in the event program as well as on this page.
This year there will be three tiers of tournaments. We decided to do a tiered system to allow for more tournaments, but still reward the bigger ones with better prizes. By doing so, this should ensure that everyone in every level of gaming skills should have a great tournament experience! The tier system works as such:
* Tier 1: 4 major games
o These tournaments will be the focus of the event, and thus will never run parallel with another major tournament. The games will be announced and broadcasted on the main projector. The prizes will be the largest prizes (other than the door prizes) of the LAN party
* Consoles
o Halo 3
o Rock Band
* PC
o Counter Strike: Source
o Call of Duty 4
* Tier 2: 4 other games
o These tournaments will feature popular games that just weren't feasible to offer a large prize for. These tournaments may run parallel to another tournament for time constraints. Prizes will still be significant, but of a lesser amount than the Tier 1 tournaments
* Consoles
o Soul Caliber 4
o Madden '09
* PC
o Starcraft: Brood War
o F.E.A.R. Combat
* Tier 3: spontaneous tournaments
o These tournaments may or may not happen. If there is an interest in a certain game we may create an on the fly tournament and give out a smaller prize (such as free food or t-shirts).
* Consoles
o MarioKart Wii
o Super Smash Bros.
* PC
o WoW Level Race
Register today at http://byoc.acm.pct.edu! Only select a seat if you plan on participating in PC gaming, and if no seats are available, we will have plenty more available first come, first serve at the event.
A waiver will be available soon for download, and should be filled out prior to the event by guests under 18 years of age.
Thanks for checking us out, and get ready for some of the best gaming in Pennsylvania!

I want to stress that this is not a serious SC tournament like WCG and what not. Its simply for fun, and the prizes are not anything substantial. Last year, the prize for SC was a SteelSeries Headset, Bottle of Bawls, Mousepad, and lots of random swag.
Also, the LAN is completely free to enter, but make sure you bring money for food and drinks. 
|
whoa free! i like the sound of that!!
lans here cost $25 
plus you have to supply food and drink

Wow level race makes me smile. I bet everyone participating will have gotten a friend on WoW, so as to get 3x exp and teleport for free -.-
|
haha this would be cool to go to! Williamsport is a bit of a drive though
|
Actually, if the WoW level race happens it would be on a private server (approved by blizz ofc). You wouldn't be able to do something like that.

wow nice, i would definatly try to go to this. is williams port near lycoming college?

If we were free, NrG.FantacY and I would definately drive down if there were alot of TL people meeting up around this LAN. Unfortunately, we don't really have any time to do so until Winter Break, and we are (I still think it's going on) going to the Philly meetup near Christmas.

I've always envied sweden for that... aren't you scared of someone trying to steal your shit though?

I registered a seat - only 3 left I think.
If you are coming come fast! :D
|
^_^~ signed up, looks like seats are almost full though, which is a good thing because it will be active but bad since if you didn't sign up before oyu'd have to bet on one of the extra seats i think.

First off, consoles suck.
o Counter Strike: Source - awful.. should be 1.6
o Call of Duty 4 - should be CoD 2 if any CoD game
o Starcraft: Brood War - GJ
o F.E.A.R. Combat - lol
o WoW Level Race - lost all respect when I saw this one
