Countercon

A Multi-player Computer Games Mini-Convention

From
12th to 13th of August
At
The Marino Institute of Education
Griffith Avenue
Marino
Dublin 3

What is Counter –Con?

Counter-Con is a multi-player computer games mini-convention, or in simpler terms, it’s a LAN Party! Two days of non-stop action with a few tournaments thrown in for good measure.

When is it?

12th and 13th of August from 9am in the morning till 9pm on Saturday and 6pm on Sunday. Or, that’s what they have told us…….it might just run longer.

Where is it?

The Marino Institute of Education which is just off the Griffith Avenue in Marino. I’ll let them speak for themselves:
“We offer a selection of well-equipped rooms, suitable for conferences, training, seminars and interviews. We have 14 conference rooms varying in capacity and style. Every room overlooks the beautiful gardens and grounds of the Institute and every event is fully supported by our staff to ensure that the event runs smoothly “

What’ll it cost?

Simple, £15 for the week-end or £10 per day. After that it’s just food money. All games and competitions are free to enter, just put your name down with the Front Desk Staff.

What will be running?

You name it, we’ll run it. Quake (I,II & III), Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Diablo, Diablo II, C&C (all of them), Age of Empires & Age of Kings, Starcraft, Total Annihilation, South Park Rally, Half Life and, of course, Half Life: Counter-Strike. In fact, we’ll run anything...just make sure you bring the CD.

Tournaments?

Yes, 3 of them. Simplest one is an Unreal Tournament Deathmatch, either Last Man Standing or to X amount of Frags. More complex will be Quake II CTF and Half Life Counter-Strike. Both games will have teams of 5 and will be run on a knockout basis. Quake II will be to X amount of points and Counter-Strike will be the best of X games. X’es to be decided when we see how many entrants there are. All tournaments are on a first come, first serve basis. Register with the Front Desk Staff.

What will I need?

A computer with a netcard that is capable of playing MP games (at least a P166 with a 4Meg Graphics Card). Also, if you have your own Hub and/or Multi-Socket Extension Cable then please bring them.

How do I book

Fill out the form on this flyer and send it too the address stated, or email us on prebookcc@eircom.net. All prebooks must pay on or before the 11th of August.

One of the Dining Rooms is self-service and pretty cheap. Accomadation is availible on site at £18 per night for Bed and Continental Breakfast or £22 for Bed and Full Irish Breakfast.
