How about quake live?

Why don't we just run Quake 3 Arena instead?  It is a LAN game and I doubt it costs more than $5 to get now a days.  Then we don't have to worry about an internet connection.
Never, but never question the engineers judgement.

Quake 3 (at least the engine) was Open Sourced.
I think that they also included the Artwork. (Sounds and Graphics)

If not. Open Arena is free and built on an improved Tech 3 Engine. (ioquake)

If you want to run a private tourney, we`ll be happy to announce it but we can't host an official one because we can't guarantee a smooth connection to the internet servers.

With a private do we still win money..

If we are not hosting the tourney, there will be no prizes provided by FITES for that tourney.  We will only have prizes for tourneys hosted by FITES.
That's Mr. Deception to you.

Also to clarify, we generally do not have money as a prize for the tournaments. The prizes for a winning a tournament are a trophy and the satisfaction of being the best team/individual there. I can't remember if we also let you pick something from the prize table or not. The items we receive from sponsors to give out as prizes are done more like a raffle, giving everyone a chance to go home with something, not just a few dominant players in the tournaments.

As for the rooms, the hotel ownership (and affiliation?) is changing as of today (Jan 1), so the best thing to do at this time would be to:

Quote
-=OR=- Call the hotel front desk (717-697-0321) try to get someone on the phone that is local to The Holiday Inn Harrisburg West.

There may be some things in transition as the ownership change takes effect. I drove by there Thursday and saw they were changing the sign out front, so I don't yet know what they're going to be called. The hotel is supposed to be supplying us with a new direct reservation link to use going forward, but we have not received that link yet.

Happy New Year!
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Changing ownership? Think we can get another person that's not in the know to hook us up with a generator? ;-)

Depending on how generous our sponsors are it very well could be the case.  At previous events we will raffle off prizes to attendees, we give out trophy to tournament winners.  I think tournament winners also got an additional raffle ticket.

Our group is really more about having fun and playing video games than competitive play.  We have competitive players and tournaments but we aren't focused solely on it.

Looks like the Holiday Inn will now be known as "Park Inn".
