The Malt Box
They have a black box called a malt box.
The malt box is usually located near the black drape near the video equipment. It usually a black table with a little TV to see what is on the big screen. Just ask any of the volunteers and they should know. You need to bring your own tapes, VCR's, and cables, they only provide you with the jacks neccessary for the feed. Couple of notes: They do not accept S-Video, only RCA, and you better have RCA cables that split apart preaty easily because the video and audio are preaty far away from each other.
Its basically a bunch of RCA Video, and Audio out conectors.
However I ran into many trouble with the malt box.
The box doesn't natively have a RCA Video outport, so you need some kind of converter to make it compatiable with a RCA cable. They provide on some but not all of the video out. By the time when I got to the box, all of them were taken. So I had to use someones video out on a vcr. It worked, but he pulled it out in the middle of the Quater finals. Kinda of mad, but I am sure I can get the full video somewhere else.
Plus you have to double check all of your cables, becuase you don't have a luxary of an external tv. Very easy to make a mistake.
