Update (07/08): The rules for survival and versus L4D tournament hae been posted. Go to the tournaments page to check them out.

Additional seating added for Intel employees. Like last time we enabled one of the adjacent rooms for Intel employees or contractors that want to come.

Update (07/05): The guys at Garage games will be running a 5v5 tournament using Fallen Empire: Legions at LAN Fest. They're bringing lots of swag and prizes so don't miss it. The tournament will run in parallel with the BF2 massive battle. More details will be posted in the tournaments page as we get closer to the event.

Update (06/28): The BYOC area is full. There is a waiting list in case seats become available. To be added to the list create a support ticket and mention that you'd like to be added to the waiting list. Another option for some is to buy a console area ticket. While it doesn't provide access to the BYOC or any of its activities, the console area has its own fun tournaments and contests.

Rules have been posted for most BYOCC events. Rules for UT3 and L4D will be posted soon.
