Hey gang. It's that time of the year again; a little late on my part, but I'll give you the rundown. Big Shot Gaming is proud to announce our biggest LAN party yet, boasting 240 seats, a new timetable to make it easier on both the attendees and the staff, and a new tournament structure.
www.bigshotgaming.com
At-A-Glance
While just about everything you need to know should be on the site, here are the basics:
LAN opens at 9AM Saturday April 13th and runs until 6PM Sunday April 14th.
StarCraft 2 tournament that offers a big prize and runs for the entire duration of the event (note that participating in this tournament bars you from any others until it ends or you are eliminated)
Fewer tournaments with bigger prizes and double-elimination brackets
Two independent raffles, one for free swag and another with a buyin that could net you some bigger, better prizes than just a case fan cover
Official BSG T-shirts available for purchase that will in no way be given out to people who just ask for them [repeatedly on my Facebook]
A pizza dinner is given Saturday, with a breakfast served Sunday morning, both included in the ticket price
The event is bring-your-own-computer, as well as your own ethernet cable.
Some refreshments will be available for purchase throughout the LAN.
Entry to the event is a measly $20 and is available for purchase now!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to assist you.
F.A.Q.

We've also got another surprise for you this year: ALL of the tournaments we're having will be casted and displayed on projectors within the Fieldhouse - not just StarCraft II. This should make for a much more competitive atmosphere, and we're very excited to be able to put this together for you.

Last LAN, we had like 1.5 actual competitive teams, the rest were just randoms who were essentially PUG teams. Hopefully we can get at least 12 people to go for a nice matchup in the finals, but obviously more than that are welcome.
CraftyI may go. I'm not gonna know many people though. :(
That's what the LAN is all about :) You'll have 36 hours to make friends.
If anybody has any questions, feel free to ask here or add me on Steam. If it wasn't obvious, I'm co-running the event, so I can help with just about anything.
