There is free street parking on Sundays. Parking can be found on various nearby side streets. Plateau Road is the closest. Refreshments are available on site as well as other establishments in the area.
Gear (headset, keyboard, and mouse) will be provided by Local Battles but we encourage you to bring your own gear. If you have a large mouse pad, please be aware that you will not have enough for it to lay flat. If you have any drivers you'd like to install (pertaining to your peripherals i.e. Razer Synapse) please let us know.
Entry fee is $30. Includes prize pool contribution and full access to LAN center. You can pre-register at the link provided below to save $10 on your entry fee.
All players competing must pay their entry fee prior to tournament date (save $10) or day of event. No exceptions.
Tournament format varies from event to event and is contingent upon the number of entrants. All events feature some type of bracket play. Preliminary games are always Best of 3. Finals will always be a Best of 5.
All forms of BM are strictly forbidden. Friendly trash talk and banter is allowed but should be kept to a minimum as to not disturb another players focus.
Typing "gg" at any point other than the initial "gl hf gg" period at the beginning of games will mean that you surrender. This is to prevent any offensive "gg" as well as any players that continue to play after typing "gg" in the hopes of causing their opponent to halt normal play.
Intentionally delaying a game is strictly forbidden. Players may pause at their convenience but only if they announce they are doing so (sec, pp, ppp, etc.).
First map will be picked through vetoes. Each player will take turns vetoing a map until only one remains. After that map pool is open and it is loser's pick.

I have a few questions 1 - Prize pool? 2 - Fee's to enter? 3 - We are allowed to use our own gear? I'm sure we are but just making sure.
I'm not affiliated with them so these aren't official answers but this is how it was run the last few times I've been there:
1- Whatever sponsor (Playhem) provides + $10 from entrance fee from each player. Pool is split 70/20/10 for 1st/2nd/3rd 2- $20 if you prereg, $30 at the door 3- Yup, but if you need special drivers you might want to talk with them in advance
I've played in it twice and have gotten smashed every single time, but the place is a lot of fun and there are a ton of good players in the area, so there a lot of good games. The computers run the game more smoothly than mine at home, and the chairs are pretty comfy, lol.

If there is anything I can really say I love about localbattles, their chairs are by far the best that I have ever seen at a lan and actually probably even better than mine at home.

It's a really friendly place. Since I've been casting them I've seen players from all skill levels play and have a good time. If you're looking to get better it's a great way to get some free coaching from semi-pros and pros. Or if you're looking to have fun, you get to play a lot of other games with other games as well as Starcraft.
