I am very interested in this!
Is there open gaming anytime besides just 10-10? i.e. can we arrive early or stay late?
I am a big fan of some older console games as well, like snes and n64 (super mario kart, mario kart 64, goldeneye 007, f-zero x, super street fighter, etc.). Will there be a place I can set these up if I bring them? Would there even be interest?
Is there a size limit?
What about snacks/drinks/food?
Is there a cost other than to enter tournaments?
Thanks!
Bring what you want.. the guy running the show.. is pretty cool and there has always been old games there like duck hunt and stuff.. and people to play it.. now i dont think you will run into anyone goooood at them anymore.. but ya feel free to bring them...
size limit? no not really as long as there is space.. we havnt had a problem yet..
snacks/drinks/food? yes, they will have food and drinks for sell.. if im not mistaken they will have pizza hut's pizza there
additional cost? there is a entry fee to come in which i believe it was 5$ last year. BUT!! if im not mistaken.. if you bring your own set up your way is free.. plus any food or drinks you buy
and as for gaming time 10-10.. if a tourny happens to go a little longer then yes they will keep it open.. but other then that no.. since its at a school they need that room cleaned so they shut down at 10 and have to clean up..
There is a bit of mixed info going around, but it happens.
The finalized info is as follows:
BYO- Go for it! You have hardware to bring? Bring it. We have a great check in/out system and security to keep things from "being misplaced".
Food- There will be Papa Johns pizza brought in as well as other concessions. We also have a local coffee shop coming in to sell smoothies!
Cost- The entry fee stands at $5 for everyone (except staff and moderators obviously). We need to break even on costs to run TechCon and the entry is the only way for us to achieve that. This entry fee does however get you one free drink and concession item. The tournament costs are in the hands of HxC. But the $5 gets you in and the free play area and equipment is yours to use.
Time- What was stated above is correct. We will start asking people to leave at 10pm so we can start tearing down. If a tournament is still in progress though, we will leave that area alone.
