The tournaments will be taking place over the weekend and a schedule shall be announced on our website here shortly. The main reason for spreading the tournament over the weekend is to avoid people coming down for the one day and then leaving after it is done. These events act as great social gatherings for people with similar interests and are not just about the tournaments.
We will be talking to one of our major sponsors today and we look forward to announcing some additional hardware prizes to the event.
Had an amazing meeting with the people from Sapphire Tech and they'll be supplying some sweet hardware prizes to the StarCraft II tournament @ the LAN! Also, they'll be sponsoring our prepay goal by supplying pizza to everyone at the LAN however we have to hit 90% prepaid before the LAN.
PrePay today for your chance to win a Psyko Audio headset and get the event closer to selling out two years in a row! No other LAN event in Calgary delivers this much prizes to the fans thenProject X!
Hmmm ... if the timing is right, chances are I'll have room for people that need to crash in Calgary and would rather stay at a house instead of a hotel. I'll post closer to the event date and we could probably just chill at my place.

Thanks K0re for offering up your place for the weekend! Now I kinda want to stay there
Also, the rooms @ The Blackfoot inn are rather luxurious and we have secured a special room rate of $99cdn per night compared to the usual $149CDN. If you have a small team coming down it is rather affordable and close to the action.
**SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT** Psyko Audio is now sponsoring the Counter Strike: Source tournament and the first place team will walk away with 5 Krypton headsets! ($1000.00+ value) PrePay today @ www.ProjectxLAN.com
In addition to various other prizes Sapphire Tech is providing 4 FleX family graphics cards to the final tournament winners: HD 6870 Flex, 5770 Flex, 5670 Flex and Standard HD 5770
Also, did we mention that they're sponsoring our PrePay goal of "Free Pizza @ the LAN with 90% or more prepaid"!! That's right, Sapphire Tech is sponsoring the LAN with tons of hardware, swag, giveaways & PIZZA at the event!
If you live in the Calgary area this is the premium LAN event to attend for 2011!

Thanks, this is a three day gaming event that will feature alot of StarCraft II action! Alot of people are looking forward to non-stop SC2 action! If you haven't already be sure to register & prepay while it is still $30. These events are a great opportunity to connect with fellow gamers in the community and take part of three days of pure gaming!

That is a great question and "RogueThoughts" on our forum (www.ProjectxLAN.com) will be managing all things to do with the Smash Bros tournament. As far as swag is concerned for that tournament seeing as it isn't an official tournament there won't be any grand prize however pretty much everyone who attends "Project X: Redemption!" will be walking away with something.
The PrePay ticket price is $30 for three days of solid entertainment with tons of fun extras (PC/Console gaming, Live Dj, endurance competitions, just for fun tournaments, "Free pizza*", guest speakers and more). We can guarantee that no other PC/Console LAN event in Western Canada (and most likely most of North America) doesn't offer this amount of action for $30.
If you do intend on coming down be sure too take advantage of the special PrePay rate of $30 as it is $50 at the door. You can also purchase your tickets @ SwitchBox here in Calgary and receive ten free hours of gaming at their center! + Show Spoiler +
Ten hours of time @ SwitchBox is $30 dollars! You would be getting an entire day of gaming there and three days of gaming in May for one cost of $30!!
This event has limited seating and we are only accepting the first 100 paid users at the door! At the moment we have over 135 users registered with 1/2 of the seats sold already. If you are looking at dominating in the StarCraft II tournament now is the best time too purchase a ticket before we are sold out!
The race too prepay is certainly on and we look forward too seeing everyone in May @ Redemption!

That will be awesome!
There is $1000+ worth of hardware being given away in the StarCraft II tournament and we have lots of additional hardware pieces being given in other "just for fun" sc2 competitions @ the LAN.
Be sure to sign up and take advantage of the prepay ticket price of $30!
Remember: PrePay comes to an end on May 7, 2011! After that date, you will not be able to purchase your tickets for the reduced price of $30, and you will have to pay the door price of $50!
Purchase your ticket at SwitchBox and receive TEN (10!) FREE hours of game time!! Valued at over $50 (Some conditions apply, ask the SwitchBox Club Pro for more info) AND be entered to win our April monthly prize draw + Show Spoiler +
