In a record breaking turn of events, Catacombz 14.0 sold out within 2 days of registration opening!! But all hope is not lost, all ye who wish to attend! Let us know, and we can still add you to the waiting list. If spots open up due to cancellations, new attendees will be added from the waiting list in the order received.

Registration is now open for Catacombz 14.0! Get signed up and come get your frag on!!

I've decided to go ahead and open general registration tonight at midnight. So everyone who is hoping to grab a seat for Catacombz 14.0 can do so. General registration will continue until November 17. Just as a reminder, anyone who has not paid for their seat by November 17 will be subject to the admission fee of $25, instead of the standard $20. Hope to see you all at Catacombz 14.0!

The final early bird registration is officially closed. All available seats have been filled. Thanks to everyone who has participated. For everyone else, general registration for Catacombz 14.0 will open soon. Please keep an eye out for updates!

Another event has come and gone with Catacombz 13.0 this June. I'd like to think that it was a smashing success! Aside from some slighter warmer temperatures, the event went very smoothly. We ran into a couple of minor snags with some faulty network cable early in the event, but Sinjin was able to get those issues quickly resolved.

We were able to run two tournaments at this event, one for CoD4 and L4D. The team that won the CoD4 tourney consisted of WORB, Mav, 220V, Xzaf, and myself. As for the L4D tourney, the winning team was Drakken, Carebear, Empire00, and Thratch. Congrats to all who won!

Thanks again to all of our incredible sponsors! We truly appreciate all of the support you provide to us! We'd also like to thank everyone for coming out. We hope you all had a great time, and hope to see you at some of our future events.

That's right folks...version 13.0 of Southern Illinois' longest running LAN party is SOLD OUT! All 56 seats are currently filled, and this event is going to rock! However, if you are one of the unlucky ones that did not get a seat for this incredible event, there may still be a chance for you. Hit the "Contact Us " page and drop me a line expressing your interest. I'll add you to the waiting list (first come, first serve), and if anything opens up, you'll get another chance to register.

On the flipside of that, if you are already registered, but haven't paid yet, we would appreciate your payment as soon as possible. Once paid, you will be able to choose a seat on the seatmap.  Just as a reminder, there are several ways to pay. They are:

• Bring the money to us personally
• Mail payment to me
• Pay via PayPal or credit card

Also, don't forget that you do NOT need a PayPal accout to pay online. Just click the "Payment" on the right side, then follow it to the PayPal page. Once there, there will be a link in the lower-left that says:

Don't have a PayPal account?
Use your credit card or bank account (where available). Continue

This is where you can make a one-time payment with your credit card, without the need of a PayPal account. Please don't forget that your payment of $20 must be received by June 16, or you will be charged $25 at the door instead.

I think that about does it. We've got a lot of new attendees coming to this event, so I'll be sending a big e-mail out to everyone closer to the event with loads of general information. See you at Catacombz 13.0!!
