Lots of great points so far. I don't have time to reply to a lot of them, but know they are all being taken on-board and discussed behind the scenes.

One thing to note, though, is that we have (unoficially) retired the RespawnNotify program, due to several reasons that led to it generally being unreliable. HOWEVER, we only chose to do that as we started designing and trialing different ideas to replace it. More news will come as it's ready

(This applies to issues relating to PA volume being inconsistent around the hall, as well as the use of projectors, and peoples' issues with being distracted when announcements are being made, all of which are issues we're aware of and have been mentioned here).

First i want to apoligze to Jeffy and Zardoz for going overboard on the whole CSSGG issue because i had nfi what was happening and because of that the winner and prize didnt go to me. And i wish to offer myself to help pack up till the end on the next lan as an apology.

But anyway everything oodLes has said so far is what i agree on,

e.g.
1. No information about tournament rules before the tournaments start
2. Lack of knowing when it was going to start due to the delays
3. Hard to hear announcements most of the time because they get called while people are playing other tournaments or mostly everyone has their headphones on and cant hear it anyway.
4. So cold at 4am my hands were shaking quite fast like 5cm+ size of shakes, like i had that shaking disease lol..
5. rows had barely enough space between them, i had hundreds of people ass the back of my face while playing and pushing me forward.
6. It would probably be a good idea to use the main screen for more than just small notepad information, as i saw that you had one on the side with the same thing, like livestream comps from spectator perspective or provide more information on tournaments on the main screen.
7. Streaming what oodLes said if its possible to do that then sure why not but i cant really think of anything unless theres some group based thing u can join with popups, does raptr do that at all? or anything similar.
8. the power went out on that row because the person across from me his power supply for his monitor blew and he didnt unplug it.

also would like to make a suggestion, u could set up a spectator comp for each tournament and make them use FFsplit which is free and records like fraps(its like xsplit, the lazy way to fraps+webcam) but directly to a low sized mkv format like 1 minute per 5-10mb or less im not sure on size, to make sure no ones cheating and if anyone asks anything about the match then u have these videos, also if u wanted to upload them to youtube later for others to watch.

other than that it was really good, the food was reasonably priced at the cafeteria, everyone treated me with respect. try to keep the temp around 22-24 degrees though as i hate the cold due to bad hand circulation(my mum has reynaud's)
