Post-Mortem

Basic Breakdown

Sign in
- Reasons:
  - People showed up early
  - Network not up to sign in area
Refreshments
- ice and containers

Network working before people arrive.
- This shouldn’t be a problem since configs are now saved for all switches, but a dry run should happen a week before the event.
Refreshments
- POS system
- having hot food available at all times;
  - grill was shut down by halftime
  - 2nd pizza order (3) became an obligation (and higher than normal cost)
  - Maybe go back to Dominoes?

Refreshments
- have equipment to reheat food (microwave at the minimum)
- have policy for custom food orders (like % mark-up)
- need large ice scoop, and 3 tubs: Pepsi, Coca-Cola, water/bawls/other
Tourney Organization
- Put pictures of the previous tourney winners up on the wall next time.
- CS:S became a deathmatch, as opposed to a tactical team game
  - Have people preregister teams for CS:S and ET?
  - They could win as a team, and maybe vote an MVP
- Get a nice 30+ person map for UT2004. There were complaints about the map used (Tokara Forest).
