Thread: DGA MMXi Foxtrot Wrap Up

Good Evening GU,

Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to all of our members for supporting LANning in Darwin for 2011.

This event was our last for the year and it ended on a great high.

Now foxtrot wasn't smooth sailing as we had liked and the numbers were less then we expected or that had registered.

Due to booking issues with the people using the location again, we started late, however everyone who turned up while we setup received a $10 discount on the entry. Thats right a 40% discount for the great support our member provided.

The weather took a turn for the worst and pelted down which we believe reduced the numbers a bit. However we had a great volunteer to get some more ice.

AGM

As you may have been aware we held our Annual General Meeting on the night, please check out our 2011 AGM post for details on how that turned out.

COMPETITION

We didn't have an official competition setup for the night however we were very fortunate that our sponsor Harvey Norman was generous enough to provide us:

• 8x XBOX 360 4GB Consoles
• 8x 27" Display Monitors
• 8x Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 XBOX Games

Now it seems this event was slated for disaster after disaster because we didn't pickup all the required equipment, like the HDMI Cables to pair the Consoles with the monitor. Our good friend Kagestu left them behind. Luckily we had 2 spares, plus I had one with me and one of our members allowed us to swap out his for a DVI Cable, this meant we were able to setup 4 network linked consoles for gaming.

Having access to these consoles we created a fun 3 round Free 4 All match with the last round being the 1st & 2nd Place winners from each round.

It is hard to describe the fierce competition that was fought hard by each entrant vying for the two prizes up for grabs, however I can say it was a very close game.

• 1st Place - Razer Deathadder Gaming Mouse - Donated by IT Shack - Won by WaxxKilla
• 2nd Place - Creative Headphones - Donated by Cut Price Computers - Won by xXdarrynXx

To really put the pressure on we sent in our resident competition champ DragonXR to make the entrants work hard for the prizes. Overall DragonXR did come first however we adjusted the positions for the two winners above.

DOOR & LUCKY DRAW PRIZES

During the night and after a few games of Battlefield 3, Quake 3, COD MW3 and Saints Row: The Third we draw the Door Prize with was a Logitech MK550 Keyboard and Mouse Combo donated by Cut Price Computers. We also draw two more Prizes donated by Cut Price Computer which were 2x Creative Soundblaster XFi Sound Cards:

WINNERS
