Re: Fundraising LAN Party suggestions needed

Looking back at our old flyer, we charged $10 entry and it was an all night event and we sold concessions. The kids were able to get a lot of the concession items donated and other stuff was bought in bulk.

The question is: what game(s) to install? It has to be school acceptable, and cheap/free. Also popularity would help.

Any ideas?
Rocket League would be great but it isn't "popular"
Otherwise.....

Smash Bros! (any of em) is a classic lan party game.
With the exception of Brawl and Melee all super smash bros games have been rated "E" for everyone because despite being fighting games its called ESRBS rating system labels the games as having "cartoon mischief".
Speaking of ESRB if you haven't already looked into the Rating Systems such as ESRB those will straight tell you which games you will not be allowed to host.

Otherwise I would advise the following.
1. Compile a list of multiplayer competitive games that do not contain any of ESRB's content descriptors that your school would not approve of they can be found at ESRB's site
2. Create a survey with those top games and distribute it throughout the school and gather data on "What game would be best." As well as things like timing of party and other logistics. Most schools would require permission for distribution of such a survey and "someone on chief delphi suggested it." is not permission.
3. Plan the logistics from there.

Re: Fundraising LAN Party suggestions needed

At my school we do Super Smash Brothers Melee tournaments and just charge 5$ per entry. We are also going to be doing more tournaments in the future. Usually if you get a projector and just put one game on it that usually keeps people entertained. If you get more people entering then you expected, set up a longer tournament or add more games for people to play on the side as the main tournament goes on. Then have a prize of some sort for the tournament winner(Like a steam gift card or anything like that).
