I'm going to be updating the general info on the page later in the morning.
But come Wednesday the company helping me coordinate this event is going to launch their version of the page.
Also, we are expecting to hit maximum capacity of 200 people (Through players I've spoken to via reddit/tftv/ugc friends and through locals). So please RSVP when you can on the new site on Wednesday.

Also, I edited the original post. Looks a lot more presentable now.

Don't mind the rigs being provided, but just to be clear, they are providing the keyboards and mice and micepads?

I would prefer to bring my own mouse if that's possible as well.

I've been to the versus LAN center in pompano and I have to say there is no way in hell you are running a 200 man tournament there. The place is tiny and maybe has 20 computers.

There is 20 PCs yes, but they have a backroom being redone that will accommodate a LOT more people. It's getting a fresh coat of paint this weekend, I'm headed there on either Saturday or Sunday to see how things are going. I will be taking pics to put on the site.

And yes, you can bring your own mouse/keyboard but remember you are responsible for them

Sorry, LAN noob, but that means there will be keyboards provided?

Yes, everything is provided.
Also, I know a lot of people are anal about scripts and huds. More than likely the huds will either be A) Default or B) A single hud across all machines. You are also welcome to bring your scripts on a USB drive.

Yea when I made that post I was including the back room. Still way too small. I'm not trying to be a negative nancy - because I think LANs are great and this is a good idea - I just know for a fact that a 200 man LAN is not doable in that venue, even with the back room. The back room is just a finals set up anyways with a large projector screen and main stage.

This Saturday there will be a big League of Legends LAN (Not that I play that filthy casual game) at the venue. I will be there with the event coordinators. Come by if you'd like to check it out.

That brings up another question, what is the entry fee for just coming to the event (for both this weekend event and for the August 16th Charity LAN)

I'm not staying long on Saturday, I'm just going to talk to the Kvova Gaming guys. I have no relation with the LoL event so I can't really say how they are going to run things. For the TF2 event I'm trying to save as many "seats" as possible for players, plus $10 is hardly much and it's going to a good cause.

We have encountered some minor issues with the website and are working to resolve them as soon as possible. I'll have an update by Noon EST.

Looks like the site might be delayed for a day or two.
I made a steam group for those who are interested in coming to join. That way I can just toss up announcements as they come.

Ok hombres,
This will be the site for now. Ran into an annoying issue with what was supposed to be the "real" site that has it delayed for X amount of days.

http://ngongames.com

I tried to make it look as pretty as possible and will continue to update it as time goes on. (For instance, TTRP has yet to send me their logo. Need to add the casters once that list is finalized, etc...)

I don't know what model monitors will be provided.
I also have an update:

We're still locked in on August 16th, but the event that was ran over the weekend made me rethink one detail: Length of Time.
Yea, sure, we can accommodate a large group of people, BUT can we do it all in one day?
The answer is no. The League of Legends tourney ran on Saturday had well over 100 players but ran ridiculously late. I want to keep this as a one day event this year (next year when it's done at a larger venue and with a nicer prize pool I could possibly turn it into a two or three day event).
Therefor I'm going to reduce the total count from 200 players to 100.
Will this affect prize pool money we have currently? No. Will you lose your spot? No.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask, and don't forget to join the group:

The event will be casted. I have my list of casters complete but don't want to make any formal announcements until the event date is a little closer in the event that something comes up for one of them.

Just a heads up to all those who want to register or RSVP for this awesome event, all you need to do is add up to the steam group

http://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791435579644

Miggy will reserve slots is my understanding for all those who are added to the group. Or you can just post in the group to have yourself reserved. You'd just need to bring the 10 dollars on entry.

Definitely looking forward to this if Shade and chad and PYYYOUR are going.

This is accurate^

I am grabbing the steam IDs of everyone who is in the group. I will use this as not only your "reservation" but as a list I'll be sending off to Valve for medals when the time comes.

No.
I'm grabbing the SteamIDs from peeps in the group to reserve the slots. These are put into a spreadsheet that I'll use on the day of the event. The players who don't come will be removed from the spreadsheet. After the event the spreadsheet will be sent off to two awesome valve people.
