Hello,

I’m here to talk about MAXLAN. It will be the biggest LAN in France in 2011.
It will take place from 18th March 2011 (6pm) to 20th March 2011 (6pm).

There will be a Team Fortress 2 tournament (32 slots – http://www.maxlan.org/pages/tf2-11.html) and it’s only up to you to make it huge. At least 12 french teams should be attending it, but for the first time this season (“Masters du Jeux vidéos”), europeans teams are more than welcome to participate!
Please, note europeans teams can’t earn points for the “Master du jeux vidéos” though.

Still, they can compete to grab the huge cash-prize for this LAN.

Prizes (based on a 100% filling rate) :

* 1st : 2 400 € + hardware
* 2nd : 1 200 € + hardware
* 3rd : 600 € + hardware

The LAN will take place in Centre des congrès, 7 avenue de Saint Dié
88 000 Epinal, FRANCE, which is actually not that far from most europeans cities.

If you have any question about this LAN, feel free to /query DroSoPhiLe @Quakenet on #tf2.europe or #tf.wars.

EDIT:

By the way, when you create an account, you will be asked your Master license number which might cause confusion to most of you.
Don’t worry about it. It’s only important for french people taking part to the whole Master season!

Please, note that if you do create a “classic license”, you will get 5€ off your ticket.
But you’ll have to understand french in order to create this license.

Otherwise, just click “create my MaXlan account”.

Booking for tickets/PCs/screens/hotels starts this upcoming week.
Sign up asap if you want to book computers for the event. There won’t be many of them available…

Three different pack will be available :

* The eco pack (37 packs) will gather the two “Formule 1″ hotels : This is the cheapest solution for you to rest, 140 € for 2 nights and 6 players (14 € / night / player for 5 players teams, 12€ for 6 players one;) ). Rooms are furnished with a king size bed and a single personn bed.

* The Comfort Pack (44 packs) will gather the “Etap” and “1st class” hotel, and will be sold for 180 € (18€ or 15€ / player / night). Rooms are furnished with a king size bed and a single personn bed.

* The premium pack (19 packs) : for only 275 €, you will be able to rest in a ** hotel, close to the Congress Center (hotel : Kyriad or Ibis). Each packs gathers 3 rooms (1 king size bed or 2 single person bed).

I strongly advise booking one of these hotel packs aswell as most surrouding hotels won’t have any vacancies left.

EDIT 22/01/2011:

Great news:
The total cashprize was increased (+700 euros) due to the fact that TF2 is a 6 player per team game and not 5. Big thanks to the orgs who listened to our community !

Now it is :

* 1st : 2 400 € + hardware
* 2nd : 1 200 € + hardware
* 3rd : 600 € + hardware

Which makes a cool 4200 euros total !

The prices of entry tickets, bus ticket, pc rent ticket are now official too and get ready for payments opening Monday, January the 31st, probably around 8.00 pm.

Payment opening

Sunday, January the 23rd !

As we aren’t chauvinistic french people, Screens and PC will be progressively put at disposal, to allow everyone (especially foreign players) to book them.

Prices :

Tickets : 42 € (37 € with the Masters Series licence)
CRT Screens (1024*768 @ 100 hz) : 15 €
Pack PC + screen : 50 €
Paris – Epinal Shuttle : 50 €

For any queries don’t hesitate to reply this thread or /q me/drosophile on irc (#etf2l, #tf.wars, #tf2.europe etc) or steam.
