[ The good ]

- Registration went smoothly
- Power was flawless (except for 1 table where some idiot kept knocking out the extension lead)
- Competitions were great and were run very efficiently
- Very helpful admins
- Fast network for most of the LAN with minimal downtime (downtime was due to the same idiot from above)
- Could hear the majority of the announcements
- COD4 players weren't too noisy
- Pizza ordering and processing went smoothly
- Great BBQ (as always)

[ The bad ]
- The people who come into the hall and move the reserved tags to other places, you are retards. Myself and several of my friends in a large group were split up into opposite ends of the hall because people moved the reserved seating tags to different places and we were told by Queenie and Sando to basically GTFO for someone elses mistake. In my opinion, the reserved seating system also needs to be reviewed. There needs to be some form of "buffering" so that people cannot book one or two seats in the middle of a massive row meaning that people in a large group cannot sit all in a row. Won't say too much about this as being moved around several times was very annoying to say the least.
- Was a bit cold near the back area towards Pings (doors were electronically locked open for Smokers etc..)
- The guy who brought a box of old pre year 2000 PC parts with him to sell to people to get money for a carton of cigarettes, you need to get a job. Also, stop going around to everyone over and over trying to get them to give you cash in hand for a paypal transfer of probably invalid funds. Seriously, what the f***.

Even though this was my first respawn of hopefully many to come. There were a few cons now that i think of it.

Con
- When i was trying to setup for the can building competition i was holding a bunch over the edge of the balcony. Some ass shot me with a nerf gun in my eye and i almost lost grip of them. (Would've caused an injury or damage if they fell). He didn't even say sorry.
- Cleanup could be a bit better. A friend of mine who goes to latrobe on weekdays told me that he was able to find a few chips and capacitors from the mac smashing in the amphitheater. (I'll help out with finding some next time outside, I'm a green-fag)
- The disorganization during the counter strike gun-game comp (near midnight). We had several rounds where the guns were turned off and on. We had no official word on which round was the actual competition game.
- The nerf people (Yes that again) even after i asked them to stop shooting me (politely might i add). you guys just wouldn't stop. Even after I told the individual.
-The light's is it really necessary to keep them off all the way until midday? I mean I know people are sleeping but was it really supposed to be as dim as my room right now? (Lights have all burnt out:))


Although there were positives...
- The environment was kept nicely clean and people were generally friendly, apart from the few "imature's" (Nerf people I'm looking in your general direction)
- Little to no network problems apart from having trouble connecting to other servers on counter strike.
- Thing's weren't really over the top LOUD. (Cod people thanks for being considerate of the people sleeping around you. (sometimes:))

It might seem that just from looking at this that ive been really harsh but just let me say that the positives are a much bigger plus than they sound.
