LAN Party - Oh yeah!!

[#1]

Well the match Team 1 V's Team 2 second half ended 7 - 2, with Team 1 steaming through.
Slight correction though, it was 4 - 5 in the first half, I mixed it up for fun

[#2]

We have had our first white wash.
Team 3 V's Team 4. First half ended 1 - 10 and the second 0 - 10. Ending 1 - 20, I kinda think it was a good job the staff lost before reaching this stage
Remember Adam, concentration is the key. Just too late for us now.

Well, the play-off finals were an even bigger white-wash with a twist.
Team 2 V's Team 3.
First game ended 0 - 10 and the second, well, it didn't end. At last count it was around 5 - 4, so only a single point to Team 3 meant they had won.
Whilst attempting to check how long was left of the match, just before pressing the magic button, the server went AWOL for everybody.
It didn't need a rematch as by the time it hit 11 points to Team 3, it wasn't just hard for Team 2, but impossible.
Well, as we head into the final two 15 minute stints of the tournament, it's time to get myself into trouble with a photo. When directors game... nuff said.

I wish I'd been told there was guitar hero!
Am a master at it, I got RSI from playing to much of it.
Raaaaaaa and I was in today as well

We head into the second half of the final and we have a situation. Team 4 lead 10 - nil and need only 1 round as the terrorists to take an overall win.
As it stands, Team 1 hold the lead at 1 - nil. But what's this, it's all over, Team 4 take it.
It's now down to show they will not washout with only a single round to their name.

Well hell yeah, what a day it has been. Free gaming, free food and free prizes.
To round up the day the following running order occured.

• 1^st Team 4
  Wireless keyboard, mouse, headset and desktop speakerphone + £50 PC World voucher


• 2^nd Team 1
  Highspeed 1GB USB Flash memory stick + £50 PC World voucher


• 3^rd Team 3
  Highspeed 1GB USB Flash memory stick

We also gave away a years free subscription to our Broadband Your Way Pro product to a lucky winner. Staff were excluded, not because that would make it unfair, but because they played well and truly cr rubbish and don't deserve it.
The lucky winner was, well, he didn't stick around long enough for me to confirm if or not we could publish his name. Well done to him all the same.
Photos of the lucky team in order of 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd below.

Any future plans for another lan party?

Already have Mike, it's been a thought for a month or two now! Only thing stopping is the fact I'd need to relocate pretty far (same reason I couldn't make the LAN party this time round).

Nice one, what role have you got in mind, if you dont mind me asking?

[#12]

w00t, well I was the only staff member to reach the final Although it was mainly due to the playing skills of Rufio and HenryD carrying me through! I even gave one lucky dip winner the prizes I should have won, hope you enjoy them!
Overall it was a very good day, I'd like to thank everyone that came and even though that gave morale support it was really appreciated. Cheers guys.

I'll be there next time Chris don't you worry, and you won't be alive so often that time round

[#14]

As a completely non-gamer,  I have to say I did actually enjoy the LAN party, if just to enjoy some of the fun that was going on in the game (That, and the Pizza helped when it was combined Breakfast and Lunch!)
Although I wasn't quite as brave as Neil as I didn't attempt to join in the games
