Hey I'm from Madison, WI.

Just heard about this LAN yesterday and I'm glad there's another LAN in the close midwest besides MPCON and MWL. I was wondering what the prizes were for each game? Coming from MWL prizes for CSS were cash prizes.

We are more of a casual or social event. We don't have cash prizes for tournaments, but we do have prizes. Prizes for winning tournaments are dog tags, a huge pizza, and blue tickets. Dog tags are etched with the name of the tournament won. The size of the pizza is limited to how wide the door is. The blue tickets are used in drawings for prizes. We have two sets of prizes blue tickets and red tickets. You get a single red ticket for attending and blue tickets for registering early or winning tournaments. You can only win one red item and the item won is random. Blue items work a bit differently. You can get more than one blue ticket, and you can pick the items you want to try and win. For example, we may have a SSD as a blue item. There will be a bucket or something for that item you can toss you tickets in. The more blue tickets you put in that bucket, the greater the odds we pick your ticket. I hope that make sense.

There are usually free play servers being hosted by players that you can join. Our venue also has an arcade, gocarts, laser tag, and bumper cars. AWOL LAN is mostly casual gamers relaxing and getting in some fun frags.
