Registration, Payment and Seat Selection Process:
-Create/Log in to your FITES forum account.
-Purchase the number of tickets you need in the store.
-Once payment has been received and accepted, you will receive forum private message containing the details of your order, including a code and a link to download your ticket(s) which will be in PDF form. (Tickets will be four to a page.) Your ticket will be REQUIRED to enter the event!
-Go to http://intranet.fites.net and create an account for each seat you have paid for using the code from your purchase. Reuse the same code for each seat. For example if you and 4 friends purchased 5 tickets together give each person the SAME code to register their account.
-Once you have created your account reserve your seat via the "map" link on the top menu bar. Note: You can change your seat for another (given that it's unoccupied) at anytime before the event on the same page.
*Note: Seating is expected to fill up fast, so if you want to guarantee your ability to sit near friends, sign up and pay quickly!
If you have any issues or concerns please reach out to us on the support form or @ support@fites.net!
FAQ:
Q: Why does your new store require registration to the forums?
A: We have found over the past few events that mail has been an issue for distributing registration information. So this is multifaceted.
---We found that emails often got lost or thrown in the junk bin. This system will notify you via a Private Message and by default this will also send you an email to the email account you registered with.
---All your order details are kept under your account and you can retrieve your codes/keys/tickets at any time.
Q: Why do I have to create ANOTHER account for seating?
A: This account is kept on a web server that will be brought to the event and while do our best to provide a basic internet connection for the event we know that sometimes the tubes get clogged. Also, the site is used for not only seat reservation, but allows us to put information here during the event. The schedule and tournament sign up will be on this site as well as hotel menus, game and voice server information and more.
Q:How can I get a discount on my hotel room for this event?
A:Call the hotel front desk (717-697-0321) try to get someone on the phone that is local to Park Inn. Then mention FITES. You may have to spell it for them, because in the past they tried looking up "fights" and that you would like to book a room at the group rate.

they do competitions for the best creation. anyone at the lan can vote for their favorite. i want to enter this year and put a single block down on the ground and call it modern art, hopefully the TF2 community will have my back with votes.

Thanks for getting this thread started Freakin.
FITES LAN should be awesome this year. eXtv has thrown our hat in, and we want to do our part to make this event an even bigger success for the TF2 and FITES communities.
The eXtv planning committee will get together for the first time neXt week and this is definitely in our crosshairs. I have a close relationship with two of the main admins @ the FITES LAN, and will be sending them off an email shortly.
There were a few bumps in the road last year (internet issues for a table stacked with TF players, eXtv not coming fully prepared to eXecute our gameplan) but it was still a freaking awesome time.
Any feedback regarding how TF2 should be handled would be greatly appreciated. Last time eXtv tried to do too much, MGE?, ultiduo, MannCo Field Day, Highlander maybe?, while this year I'd like us to focus more on eXecuting the TF2 side properly and casting as many other FITES finals as possible.
I'd like to potentially try out some fresh things in order to provide a more welcoming LAN eXperience to the FITES attendees that love TF2 but don't play it in a competitive format. I'd like a format that is can be communicated in 1 sentence. "6v6 with only one of each class and no item bans" or "3v3 KOTH with only one of each class and no item bans".
We also could potentially get some free tickets from FITES... would you guys like to see a qualifying tournament where the winning team gets free tickets/refunds? While FITES always has kick-ass trophies, we could have a buy in, but that would unfortunately probably turn off other LAN attendees... Winning team gets free tickets to neXt FITES?
Lots of ideas in there, pick out what interests/disgusts you and give me some feedback yao.

This disgusts me. I feel like the UGC HL banlist should be used at the minimum. Then again, "a format that is can be communicated in 1 sentence" and weapon bans are mutually exclusive.
I think that whatever format is chosen should be tested first, assuming it's new. Wouldn't be good to mess this up.

I'm not trying to dictate format changes to the community here, but I think this is a good opportunity to test some things out that will help competitive 6s be more welcoming to strangers. ESEA Whitelist could definitely work as a one sentence eXplanation, but its also a 51 item long list (not counting High Five Taunt).
I might be in the minority here, but I don't see a single item on the ESEA Whitelist that would ruin our fun.
Please upfrag thrasher @ #21 if esea whitelist is what you want to use, but let's also keep the discussion going.

UGC white list is probably better if it's no buy in. If there's a buy in then do ESEA.
