Dude, v20 LAN appeared to be kinder unorganised. The competitions I did not hear or where not presented as well as they should. People were also getting up all over the place receiving prizes? Still had a fantastic time.

Hey, personally I thought this was a great LAN =D! Sure I noticed the carrot throwing incident and that was a little BG, but aside from that, it went pretty smooth! Didn't have as many leaving after the CS comp as usual which is great. I agree btw that the BBQ was awesome!

BUT, I have a proposal!

From the last couple of Respawns I've attended, I've talked to quite a lot of members about music production, and it was a common consensus that a fair few were attempting to share their music on DC++. That's decent and all but what if there was a way to get their music heard?..

If its okay, I propose maybe a Music comp, managed through the EMS. The style of music would have to be something fitting, so probably something on the techno scene or electronic, so BL to bluegrass or latin samba..

Anyhow, I attended Dreamhack where they had a competition called "Kreativ" where people submitted their songs by a certain deadline, then the admins for the comp picked out a selection of songs which were of the right style and decent enough quality.

These songs were then played throughout the halls whereby everyone at Dreamhack would hear. Then from the last track being played, a section of the EMS was activated for say 2 hours where members could go and vote on their favourite track. (if the user had allowed it, the track could also be downloaded from this page).

The rules for it were kinda common sense. Songs should be around 4 minutes, and shouldn't be longer than say 6 or 7 minutes tops, they had to be as yet unheard by a large audience, and if containing lyrics (which the majority did not), they must not be offensive.

Now, im not sure how feasible it'd be for something like this to be replicated for Respawn, but it'd be awesome to be able to showcase the music of the respawn community to the respawn community! (PS: if done, it should be BEFORE the CS comp, cause too many people leave straight after it !!)..
