Most of what George said is true. Compared to previous years the price for the COMPETITION will be somewhere in the sub $300 range. The Lock-In could be included in that price, I'm not sure at the moment. Our first planning meeting is on the 21st of June and the topic of entry fee will likely come up then. Expect more information released shortly after the 21st.
Another reason to come is as George said, the lock-in. Things get changed up from year to year so we cannot for sure say what's going to be at the lock-in. Some of the things we've had at the lock-in before were: LAN Party (Console and PC based), Tiki Lounge, Karaoke, Movie rentals, Food, Drinks, etc.
Some of the new things being talked about this year: LAN Party (revamped), X-Box 360 Circle (A large circle of projectors hooked up to X-Box 360s), Rack n' Roll Side Events (Robot Drag Racing, Human Player Challenge, etc) and Flight Simulators just to name a few. Of course none of this will be finalized until the event gets closer.
Oh and of course after the lock-in there is this little competition too
. So far it looks like we'll be the last off-season on the West Coast (maybe even the country) and potentially your last crack at Rack n' Roll.
As for how... Once again George put it the best, with the GP from a handful of teams down here we're able to put on this event. Every team running the event pitches in a little (some more than others). We're also relying on some sponsors to help out with somethings (Like a new field?
)
Also, FYI. Madison High School's Gym Floor was redone last summer (part of the reason this event was nixed last year) and the school would like to keep the floor looking new for as long as possible. We're trying to be very cautious of this. As a result, there will be foam padding laid out under the field. The foam is almost identical to the foam used for the FVC playing field.
Who else is planning on coming?
