Lots of Tourneys with prizes and they are going to have a really good Mod Contest with good prizes this time, and of course tons of swag.

"Expect BBQ, Bawls, foosball, air hocket, sumo wrestling, and other activities in addition to the console and computer gaming. "
 
Hehe, "Texas area".
When you put it that way, it almost sounds like it isn't 15 hours from El Paso to Orange. :p
 
Isn't everything 15 hours from El Paso? :D :p

scale with the number of teams announced soon, and
it will be paid on site. Expect it to be $50 per

be 4v4 and will be a $40 fee per team that will go
entirely to the cash prize. You can find out full

11. TXGF meeting this Saturday
It is for certain that we will have a meeting on
the 16th which will be our last major one the
weekend before the lan. We welcome volunteers,
tourney leads, sponsors, partners, and anyone
wanting more details to be at this meeting. It
will be held at 2PM at Waterloo on Burnet. More
details are on the main page of TXGF.com Watch
the site for meetings time and places, and expect
a few IRC meetings as well.

13. Looking for more groups to get on board
We have a lot of space at this Spring TXGF, and we
want to fill every inch. We are looking for other
gaming or related groups to get involved. If you
are part of a group, or know of one that might be
interested please let us know. The more activities
we can have at this gaming festival the more fun
will be had by all.
14. BYOC+, BYO Server, BYO Projector
We are allowing people to bring in a server.
There will be an additional $10 charge for
bringing one in. Also you can bring in a
projector for a $10 charge, and we will seat you
on a row where you will be able to use it.
15. Promotion, promotion, promotion
We certainly can use any help promoting on forums,
irc, and with flyers. We can possibly send some
of our flyers your way, or make some available for
download. If you would like to help promote
please let me know.
16. Sign-up, Sign-up, Sign-up!
I am often talking to people saying they are
coming to the lan, but they are not signed up yet.
We really need to get everyone signed up that
plans on coming. For one we need to plan on how
many tables, chairs, and power connections we need
to get everyone who shows up their space. The
more accurate count we have, the better we can do
this. Also when talking to sponsors they will
want to see how many people we have signed up.
The more signups, the easier it is to get prizes
and swag, that is for certain. Get signed up, and
make sure everyone you know is as well. It will
help us all out immensely!
17. Tourney Sign-up live! Mod contest sign-up
live!
We have signups for many tourneys live. Currently
they are up for Battlefield 1942 Desert Combat,
Battlefield Vietnam, Call of Duty, Halo 2, Quake 3
Doom 3, Halo 2, Counter-Strike 1.6, Half Life 2
DM, and Unreal Tournament 2004. You can find them
here as well as the mod contest sign-up.
