Gameday!!!

Gamers, you ready for this? Lets have some fun!!!

if you did not get the mass email (I tried my best), here is that email. I said I would post it, and here it be:

When: Saturday, April 5th, Expo doors open at 10:00 a.m. Awards are planned for 5:30.

Where:
Mass Media and Technology Hall
Western Kentucky University
Bowling Green, KY 42101

Games: Morning games start at 11:30: Afternoon games start at 2:30

What to bring: Identification, permission form if under 17, money if you want a T-shirt or extra meal ticket. Use of custom gear will be approved by the game ref, yeah or nay, he/she has final call.

I can’t believe it, but we are unleashing the largest regional gaming competition and expo around, WKU’s Gameathon TODAY! We have over 200 gamers already registered to play, and we are still going to have some spots open for walk-ins. Everyone should remember that Rent-A-Center saved Gameathon after the Army backed out! Also, Game Stop has stepped up in a big way, so be sure to stop by their table and thank them at the event for their support.

The final rules and how your game will play out will be handed to you on a print-out when you register. Godfathers Pizza and Pepsi will provide food and drink during the event; you will receive a meal ticket when you register. A meal ticket gets you 2 pieces of pizza and a drink. If you would like more, we will sell you a ticket for $2, while supplies last. If you are interested in the limited edition Gameathon T-shirt, there will be a table set aside for shirt sales. The cost of a shirt is only $12, which covers our cost.

Our grand prize this year is a 26 inch Westinghouse LCD TV and a Phillips Surround Sound system (with an iPod doc). If you win in Halo 3, Madden 2008, Call of Duty 4, or Guitar Hero 3, you will receive a $50 gift card from Game Stop, a very cool Gameathon T, a MT Dew sweatshirt and other sweet swag, but most importantly you will be able to duke it out in our mystery game for the grand prize. If you win in Rock Band, each member of your team gets the prize package already described.

One final detail, IF you are under 17 and signed up to play in Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4, you MUST have a permission form signed by your parents. Please go to: http://gameathon.org/forms/g3parents.pdf

Please review the following game times. Please show up between 20 and 30 minutes before your game is set to start.

Game Times:
Halo 3: 11:30
Madden 2008: 11:30
Rock Band: 11:30

Call of Duty 4: 2:30
Guitar Hero 3: 2:30
