Finally grabbed some zzz's and now before I go to start putting all the stuff away...

We just wanted to say THANK YOU again to all the participants!!! A special THANK YOU to all our Sponsors!!! And lastly a very special THANK YOU to all of the volunteers that made this happen.

We'll see ya'll again in March!

Scythe , known for their incredible line of Ninja heatsinks, will be sponsoring LANcryption with an assortment of goodies!

In-Win , the L-O-N-G time makers of PC enclosures will be sponsoring LANcryption 1.0!

Before case modding was mainstream, all you needed was an awesome case and you were set! Back in the day, that awesome case was the In-Win Q500.

Hopfully In-Win has something a little more modern to throw at our attendees. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about what it could be!

Western Digital , the creator of the 10,000RPM VelociRaptor is here to sponsor LANcryption 1.0!

Do you often wonder why the guy sitting next to you has loaded his map twice as fast as you? Chances are he is running a Raptor under the hood!

Seagate is proud to sponsor LANcryption with an array of 7200.11 Terabyte hard drives!

With a gigabit network running at full speed, a Terabyte Seagate hard drive could end up being a LAN dude’s most prized possession!

Seagate is a favorite among the LANcryption staff, we are happy to see them aboard!

Jolt Cola Sponsors LANcryption 1.0!

Weren't the choices simpler back in the day? When looking for a little pick-me-up, you had either regular cola or Jolt.

Now days the market is flooded with weak alternatives tasting like battery acid or reeking of it. Jolt on the other hand comes in an assortment of flavors, each tasting just as great as your favorite brew of flavored cola.

Back in the day kids enjoyed the rush from Jolt that brought on a weeklong sugar high. Today we still enjoy that kick. Even more so when forging our way through the 24/7 BYOC gauntlet!

LANcryption is pleased to announce that  NZXT, the makers of high performance, unique cases are on board for LANcryption 1.0!

For those who bring on creativity, these guy are guaranteed to have something that will dazzle your fancy.

You will be sure to catch a number of their products up for grab at our coming event.

Sponsorship contributions will be announced as they come in. If you would like to become one of our awesome sponsors, just let us know.

Tournaments

As far as tournaments go, we will be hosting back-to-back round robin tournaments featuring both Call of Duty 4 (COD4) and Team Fortress 2 (TF2)!  Check back for team size and rules.

For those of you unfamiliar with how round robin tournaments work, here is the gist of things:

Each Team will play every other team at least once.  He who has the most wins - WINS!

Unlike with single or double elimination, no team will be left sitting out in the cold since everyone should be playing another team at any given time.

BYOC

For the time left in-between the tournaments, the BYOC will be alive and kicking with random mini BYOC tournaments as well as a 64 man BF2 CTF marathon. The playlist at our BYOC will range from Q1,  Tribes, FEAR, and Flatout2  to World in Conflict, Supreme Commander, and Crysis so  be sure to show up with your all your games on hand and installed!  BYOC will be gaming non stop, 24/7, frag to you drop!

Sign Up Now!

Online registration is available NOW for $20, and at the door the price is $25. With limited seating, lock in your registration as soon as possible!
