Comment Halo/DDR Party (Score 1) 143
The FIRST team I work with had the same idea, but the logistics of setting up a LAN (everyone having legit copies of games being the big one, the pain of bringing so many computers to one place, the actual organization and set-up/clean-up of such an event would've taken forever) were too much for them, and so a Halo/DDR party was planned instead.
It is much easier to set-up 10 Xboxes then 10 computers. It was a 2v2 tournament, double elimination, with a $25 or so gift card to EB/Best Buy for the top team. Selling drinks, snacks, pizza, and charging a $5 admission fee, we made around $200-$300, and we'll be doing it again. And this time with actual advertising, instead of word-of-mouth.
Only thing is that we didn't expect so many people, so we the tournament took a little longer then expected, but it was damn fun. And set-up/clean-up was definetly a lot easier then a LAN party.
