Hello all,

Yes it has been awhile we are in the midst of discussing the plans for Niagara FragFest and its future! We do apologize for the delay in the next lan and information the coordinators Chris and Sheldon have been extremely busy. Chris with School, Work and a planning a wedding (yes ladies and gentleman he is getting married!!!!) and Sheldon with working 3 jobs (teaching at the college, working for the Catholic School Board and running his own biz).

So please bare with us while we work towards planning the next event.

Thanks to everyone that came out for our best event yet: Niagara FragFest 4! Also thanks to Performance Computers for giving away a gift certificate, and some other cool prizes. We also have to thank Computer Power User Magazine for sponsoring us again with 50 free copies of their magazine, and two free one year subscriptions!

Pictures are up on the History pages!

See you at the next event,
Niagara FragFest Staff

Howdy all!

We are soo getting pumped for the NFF4 LAN! Therefor here are the standard sets and pieces of information!

• Download and review the Welcome Kit available here: http://niagarafragfest.com/downloads/nff_welcomekit.zip
• Please make sure Steam and all your games are updated before the event! And set to OFFLINE MODE!!!
• Make sure all your windows updates are done, antivirus installed and updated and your computer virus free!
• Most of all make sure your PC is operating with no issues, the staff will NOT have time at the event to format the machine for you!
• Please remember to download, print and sign the contract before attending the event! If you are under 18 a parent or guardian must also sign
• For the love of our lord and the staff’s sanity please remember to bring your power cords AND a ETHERNET cable. 10ft usually does it, 7ft is sometimes to small!
• Any questions dont hesitate to email someone on staff!

For those planning on playing console, if you have any controllers PLEASE bring them! Certain people who have said they are willing to bring their XBOX 360 will be contacted shortly via EMAIL to confirm that they will be bringing it. We ask that everyone who offered to bring games and controllers please do so. However unless you are contacted to bring an XBOX or Wii you do not need to bring it. Please label your equipment in some way, either with tape or a permanent marker somehow. It will be your responsibility to keep track of YOUR equipment.

For those that prepayed or who are planning on prepaying we are attempting to have a seat selection chart up on the website before the LAN. All seats will be numbered at the event (hopefully) therefor you will know which seat to sit down at.

So if you tried to purchase tickets online with Paypal in the last week, and noticed there was a $5 fee for shipping and handling, yes that is incorrect. Sorry, somehow that sneaked on to the shipping section. We have removed it, so don’t worry.

There is no shipping and handling charges! $15 a ticket and that is it, we are just a bunch of nubs.

Also, for the Call of Duty 4 tournament, we are voting on whether to use Promod or not. If we don’t use Promod, then it will either be Hardcore or Standard game types. Please go to the forums and vote for your favorite.
