Just to give you guys an idea how sick they are as sponsors my friends and I EACH won PCs worth almost $2k for winning the MW2 tournament last year. They are serious about helping and building the local gaming community. Most, if not all, are gamers and have gamer mentalities when it comes to most topics. They are very fair, open, and respectful. I advise you to be the same to them and it will always be a great experience for everyone. | ||

If you can find a venue that doesn't charge $20 for a tournament with prizes and giveaways then please let me know. Oh, yeah, and it must be able to hold over 50 people and accomodate casters and an audience. Sure, an online tournament is an option, but there's nothing like spending a Saturday playing SC2 with like-minded people and eating pizza. Seriously if you can find a venue that has computers and will let you play for a small fee that includes pizza and drinks let me know. I will gladly host my next tournament there. I've spent the last 6 months trying to find such a place. | ||

I'm definitely not opposed to a non-BYOC tournament and I will look into the U computer labs more in depth. Any more places a little more centrally located to balance the commute for both Salt Lake and Utah Counties? | ||

Although they may have enough computers, there is no room for spectators nor an area for casting w/o having all the players hear. In addition, the majority of Utah's players live either near the U or BYU. Being that the U favors Salt Lake more than Provo, tournaments up there don't produce as many people. Same goes with Versus down south - most players that attend are from around there. Versus is a nice venue because they have 50 computers and a spectating area - unfortunately though, they charge $20/person.

Well Neumont would be fine, but I find it hard to believe that they don't have a computer lab that we could use...? I would just figure a school that does "Game design" would have computers that could play games on them | ||

Oh and I thought I would ask here since I didn't get a response on the blog, but if I'm not able to make it what is the URL for the stream that the casters will be using? It would be nice to watch some games if I can't come. | ||

There are quite a few people though that play on laptops, I was surprised at the last Neumont tournament. As far as the stream goes, Tear and Sonde will be broadcasting on justin.tv/tear388 | ||

Their "Game Design" classes are offered like once every two or four years I think. I believe it's mainly a computer programming/technical school and so most of the students have their own laptops. | ||

I still find it hard to believe that a computer school does not have a full lab :\ There is something hugely wrong with that to me. | ||

Any complaints about it being a BYOC should be null with that kinda money involved ;D | ||

I just feel "at home" wherever I am if I'm on my own rig. I feel like I play better, but I could just be crazy. | ||
