Check In: How To? Options

[Chapy]

Hey guys,

This being my first LAN, I was wondering how it works when I show up at the door? I'm in the top 500 and everything, do I simply state my nickname, pay then I'm free to go in?

What if somebody takes your name and pretends that they are you before you arrive?

Thanks

Step 1: Drive to the front area. If you're coming before 11AM, there will very likely still be a line; park in Car Park 2 while you're in line, then bring your car to the front area to unload post-checkin - there is a 15 minute limit on parking out the front of the hall.
Step 2: Wait in line (if there is a line when you get there)
Step 3: Be called up to the desk when you reach the front of the line
Step 4: Recite your name, hand over the money, receive your player tag
Step 5: Find a spot to sit, bring in your PC etc.
Step 6: LAAAAAAAAAAN!

--edit--

I have never heard of anyone taking another's place in such a manner. If someone did do this, when you got to the checkin desk and this was noticed, we'd check your ID/confirm you are who you claim you are, then if we found who stole your spot, we'd evict them from the hall and probably perma-ban them.

The person would also not be able to register for competitions etc without knowing your password for the website.
