Summer LAN Update
We have some good news and we have some bad news. First the bad news. We are unable to secure a venue for the Summer LAN. Our gracious hosts at Greystone have informed us that they are unable to continue leasing their ballroom space to outside events. This was not a decision directed at Atlanta LAN Fest, but rather a financial decision based on the current economic climate. Due to the late arrival of this announcement we were unable to find any available venue to host our event. At this time I would like to thank Greystone for all of their help and hospitality in the past. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we had some great times at their venue. Now for the good news! As you may have seen on the forums we are shifting our focus to the Winter LAN. Currently we are closing in on a deal with Georgia Tech and Marriot Hotels as possible venues for our future events. As far as dates go we are looking at having the Winter LAN on December 17 -19. We are also still working with Intel LAN Fest so expect more awesome prizes like last event! Keep checking back for more details, we will post them as they come along.
On a side note, because we were unable to have our own event this summer some of the Atlanta LAN Fest guys are planning on making a voyage to Quake Con in Texas in August. If anyone is interested we can organize a convoy and bring Atlanta LAN Fest to the heart of Texas. Check out the forums for more details if you are interested.
Help us out by preregistering
If you plan on coming to the Atlanta Winter LAN 2010 hop on over to Intel's site and preregister. This will help us estimate attendance and prepare for the event. If you haven’t already preregistered the URL to do so is https://lanfest.intel.com/?page=event&sub=register&eventid=1381 . You don't have to prepay if you don't want to however please sign up for the event if you plan on attending. If you have any questions about how to preregister you can contact us by going to the Contact Us page and sending us your question. Other than that things are coming together. We have posted the current teams that plan on attending to this point on the forums. Also we have posted almost all of the tournaments and the rule sets. So make sure you check them out on the Event Page. As we close in on the LAN check back with us as we will be posting more updates frequently.
Winter LAN Launch
I am glad to announce the Launch of the Winter LAN Fest. The dates for the LAN will be 11:59 PM February 12, 2010 – 11:59 AM February 14, 2010. For this LAN we will be working with Intel LAN Fest guys along with F7Lans in co-op mode to put on an Epic LAN party. The location of this extravaganza will be Greystone Power and we have about 100 seats to fill and they will go fast! So make sure you prepay online and reserve your seat by going here. We are using Intel's website for registration so when you click on the link don't be confused when it takes you to another site. Prepay registration will be $25 and if you pay at the door it will be $30. All money raised will go to charity! We haven't nailed out all of the details for the tournaments , but I can tell you that we WILL HAVE a Call of Duty 4 , Counter Strike: Source , and a blast from the past tournament ( Details on event page). All of which will be free to play in and we will have some big prizes from Intel and other sponsors to give away!

Winter LAN update and F7lans LAN
A lot has been happening in the last month, and although the site may not reflect it we have been hard at work! We have been working with Intel LAN Fest to bring Atlanta another amazing LAN. Right now we are still on for a winter event. We are looking at dates in late Jan. early Feb. timeframe. We have almost all the details hammered out however we cannot announce everything because we have to get everything approved on the backend. What I can tell you is that we are going to have the biggest event yet and we will have Intel with us along with F7lans to put on an amazing event. One thing that I can announce is that we will be having tournaments for our favorite games like usual. You can check out some of these by going to the event page and look at the list of tournaments that we are planning on hosting. Prizes for the tournaments will be posted when we post all the final event information so stay tuned.
Also if you have time this winter break F7lans will be hosting a 3-Day LAN at the Gaming Arena January 8- 10. Some of the other A.L.F staff and I will be there to help out and get in on some of the gaming action. Details can be found on their webpage http://www.f7lans.com.
