UKTerrorist 2003 LAN Championships - Northampton Update

Posted by Myers at 09:30 17/2/2003.

Just a few matters to mention concerning the upcoming UKTerrorist 2003 LAN Championships taking place this Saturday at the IT-Centre in Northampton.

Firstly omg|Dev will be pm'ing/phoning all of the teams regarding changes to the payment details so please put your mind to rest about that. Secondly I know many teams may arrive on the Friday beforehand so here's a statement from the IT-Centre to those teams:

To those clans wishing to practise on the Friday, we have a special rate for our members...from 6pm to 11pm £10. If any of the UKT teams would like to participate they will need to become members of the centre, which is £10 for 12 months membership. They get an ID Card, and a newsletter every month with updates on new games and releases etc etc. The cost for an hours gaming for non-members is £3.50 p/hr.
I would like to strongly recommend this as it is more than likely there will be more events taking place at the IT-Centre this year.

In addition, on the Saturday of the tournament, rolls, sandwiches and snacks and hot and cold drinks are available at the centre all day, however please do not bring any other food or drink into the venue.

After the tournament there will be an all-nighter and I must warn teams/players wishing to attend that there are only 20 places remaining. Cost for the all-nighter is £20 and includes free coke, mars bar and pot noodle. Those that register will be guaranteed a place, and can pay on Saturday morning. To register please get in touch with myself either through IRC or e-mail.

Also top Irish outfit, Ketamine, have withdrawn from the tournament (through no fault of their own may I add) and have been replaced by SFAL.

all those extra charges are starting to mount up
£15 per person and if they want to go practice the day before its an extra £20 plus if a clan wants to attend the all nighter (£10) per person plus travel, food, accomodation (for the friday night) etc is touching 100 pounds per player, which ithink youll agree is just a little over the top also bearing in mind your not allowed to consume your own food/drink on their premises, it sounds like the IT-centre are gonna be making a pretty penny out of this, and i can see why they cant wait to hold the next one there too...
and for other lan centres will you have to make people become members of the cafe as well if they want to practice :/ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I think the cost process of this whole tournament is going to be a problem for a lot of teams. To make it to PS2003, the majority of teams are likely to have to attend a few of these monthly qualifying tournaments. Each one teams will be paying quite a bit of money to attend, and yet there is nothing to be gained but points.
Shame the cafes can't do some kind of deal, cause surely it's advertising their services throughout the tournament. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Shotti, they're not extra charges it's all optional, for a player they only have to pay £15 + travel. Anything else depends on what you want to do. Some teams like to play together more than just in the clan games, it's not everyday u get to meet up with your clanmates so why not spend a night together playing cs. As i said it's up to the players. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

but thats not exactly true is it myers, thats £15+travel if you are fasting/SAS in training/ live next door to the cafe (which is not the case as in previous posts alot of people complaining about the travel time)

so you have to eat as well which as stated above you can only eat food bought from the it-centre on the premises which people will do, so add an extra £10 average on top for food
then also add an extra £10 for additional charges you havent thought about,
and as people are traveling a long way overnight accomodation enters into the equation at around £20-30 for a room that sleep 4 for one night

so no myers it doesnt cost £15+travel and dont try to belittle me [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

It really depends how much you intend to eat at the IT-Centre 1/2 meals tops and the food is probably better value than the local McD's.

£10 in additional charges I haven't thought about? :)...unless u get clamped or a parking ticket then I find it hard to imagine what other charges there could be.

and as people are traveling a long way overnight accomodation enters into the equation at around £20-30 for a room that sleep 4 for one night

So an extra £5 per person then...and not everyone is travelling that far to get to Northampton. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
