by gamessoc＠redbrick.dcu.ie

Hey folks, Sorry for a second mail but we have so much coming up both this week and next week that we thought it'd be a better idea to break the annnounce mails up. Anyway, next week is Week 5 and as such well be holding our semesterly Bring Your Own PC LAN event. This is one of our largest and most popular events and this semesters event will be no different. This event is run over two days, Saturday March 11th through to Sunday March 12th. Saturday will kick off at between 1 and 2pm which will give you guys plenty of time to set up your rigs. The event will then continue on through the day and night until midday on Sunday. Throughout the weekend well be running a series of competitions in Quake 3, Counter Strike, Dawn Of War and a mystery game which will be announced on the day. Outside of the competitions well also be playing the likes of Unreal Tournament 2004, Battlefield Vietnam / Battlefield 2 and 1nsane. Entry for this event is 10 for members and there will be a Games Soc table set up in the Henry Gratten to take names and collect the entry fee this Thursday and on another day next week. Note, we will not be admitting people who turn up on the night due to the fact that we are expecting a larger crowd than at previous events of this nature. More details on this event will follow but this is just to make sure you guys know about it and are able to make the necessary arrangements. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - As usual keep an eye on the site and forums located at http://games.redbrick.dcu.ie/forums for more info on these events.

[Announce-gamesoc] Halo 2 Team Tournament Tomorrow

by gamessoc＠redbrick.dcu.ie

Hey folks, Just a final reminder that our Halo 2 Team Tournament will be taking place TOMORROW, Feb 22nd in the Seminar Room in the Hub from 1pm - 5pm. The competition will be run as follows: We will start off with a few rounds of single player Deathmatch in order to gauge the skill level of each of the players. Once this has been achieved the committee will then choose balanced teams based on the results of the single player games. This will ensure that all teams are balanced and the competition is fair. The teams formed will then take place in league based competition with the top 2 teams making their way to the final and chance at winning the top prize. The top prize for the Tournament will be 20 Gamestop Voucher per member of the winning team. Refreshments will be provided throughout the day and it should be a great laugh to boot so hopefully we'll see you all there. Regards, Simon Secretary DCU Games Society
