NWRL LAN Party Spring 2013


June 8th, 2013 (Saturday 1:00PM-10:00PM)

 

We'll be holding the LAN Party on Saturday, June 8th, 2013 (Saturday 1:00PM-10:00PM) at the Sallal Grange in North Bend, Washington - directions


Event Overview

This is our first large scale LAN party, so it's mostly a test to see if the Snoqualmie Valley can support an event such as this. We'll call it our BetaLAN for lack of a better name! In a nutshell, we want to have a large computer gaming party with social interaction, fun games, three contests, and over $125 in prizes. Being a Minecraft specific event, we plan to have an open Survival Multiplayer Server, an open Creative Multiplayer Server, and three different Contest Servers online during the event. There will be concessions available and an area for tabletop gaming (board/card games).
