ok update times:

we will be offering Spontaneous Tournaments

Spontaneous Tournaments is a tournament that is exactly that, it is started spontaneously during the event, it is not a scheduled tournament and It can be any game with any rules that players want to have. All that needs to be done is an attendee to come up to the admin tables and say "I want (insert game name here) tournament", and we will set you up with a tournament for that game and do an announcement.

Furthermore, throughout the event the staff will announce a Random Tournament for an announced door prize. Our random tournaments will be short and sweet and may very well include games featured in our console corner.

Example Tournaments:
Warcraft III
Unreal Tournament 2004

Quake 3

LL8 is over; it was a big success and we all had a lot of fun. Look to lacledeslan.com for the wrap-up photo gallery later this week.

i had a frigging blast... these guys totally know how to run a successful lan

i had my doubts based on some propaganda i'd heard from other sources, but i was pleased to discover that these guys are legit.

i can't wait for the next laclede's lan

i tried to find where this lan was hosted at, Can anyone tell me where it was being hosted?

This LAN was located in St. Louis Missouri... heard it was good, but they planned it over quakecon...
