Gamefest is this weekend from 5:00 PM on Saturday, April 20, 2013 to 4:00 AM Sunday, April 21, 2013 in the Klaus Advanced Computing Building at Georgia Tech (see website for address). We will have tournaments for League of Legends, StarCraft 2: HotS, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, Tribes: Ascend, Smite, Halo 4, and SSB Brawl. Each winner will receive a free winner's t-shirt and prize. In order to compete in a tournament, you must pay the $10 entrance fee at the door (cash only). Tribes: Ascend and Smite competitors do NOT need to pay any entrance fee. You do not need to be enrolled in Georgia Tech to participate, but you must be physically present at the event to compete. This is a bring-your-own-computer event so bring all of your equipment and an ethernet cable. If you bring a gaming console or TV to the event for the console tournaments to use, your entrance fee will be waived. The first 250 paid attendees will receive a free regular t-shirt.
