<CENTER><B>Some extra things covered in more detail:</B></CENTER>
<HR>
<BR><B><U>Registration:</U></B> <BR>When you walk through the front door you will see two desks. We are going to split the alphabet in half. Please proceed to the appropriate table with ID ready. There will be a empty area to put down your stuff and fill out the required paper work. Once you have payed or confirmed PrePay, you and your equipment will be tagged. You will then be escorted by a staff member to your seating area. Your seating is based on two factors. First, your game(s) of choice. Second, your power requirements. Hence our asking for your monitor and PSU size during the online registration. <BR><BR><B><U>Deregistration:</U></B><BR>This is rather simple. We want to make sure no one is leaving with your stuff. Although you are completely responsible for your belongings at the event, we want to provide ”would-be spoilers of your fun“ a little more difficulty should you lose track of your stuff. When you are ready to leave please see a staff member to deregister. <BR><BR><B><U>Food:</U></B><BR>We are aware that numerous restraunts are within close driving distance of the event. However, we wanted to provide an altenative for those who did not want to leave their equipment unattended. (We wanted to keep this alternative cheap and affordable.) <BR><BR>
