Yes!
However, we do accept donations (donate here!). No ammount is too small! Visit our Sponsors page to find out more information.

Nope, we welcome WSU students, faculty, alumni as well as Pullman-Moscow community members and the public at large. Basically, anyone as long as they are not in bad standing with the clubs hosting the event.

A "WSUCon - Desktop Seat" means the following:

• One seat with an ethernet connection
• Power plug for 1 desktop and 1 monitor (2 outlets)
• Ability to enter into PC game tournaments
• Prizes
• Food

Please be considerate of your neighbors at WSUCon. More than 1 monitor can encroach on the space of others and trip the breaker on up to 59 other gamers in your row, so please be aware of that when packing up your equipment.
Each person only gets one seat per registration. If you want your friends to come, make sure they sign-up through their own names! Duplicate registrations will be cancelled.

A "WSUCon - Laptop Seat" means the following:

Yes! You must be registered for our official tournaments. For more information, go to our Games & Tournaments page.

Only if you want to participate in a tournament that requires a team to play.

If you aren't sure where to find a team or people to be on your team, you can check out our Facebook and event page. You could also try meeting people at the event!

Yes! This year we will be giving away a variety of 3D printed trophies themed for their tournaments. In general, prizes are given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, occasionally with additional prized categories.

No, but you absolutely can! There will be stuff to do throughout the entire event! Check out the official program for a complete list.

Yes! Food provided by WSUCon is done first by PC (desktop and laptop) gamer table, then console gamer table. We will have dinner, a breakfast, and lunch served throughout WSUCon. Given that we have a tight budget and food estimation is always tricky, seconds will open after everyone has been given the opportunity to get some food once.
If you're still hungry, WSUCon organizers are happy to help you build a pool of other hungry attendees for ordering a pizza.

DISCLAIMER: If something is damaged, lost, or stolen, neither the Linux Users' Group, the Compton Union Building, or Washington State University is liable and will not under any circumstances replace your item(s).

Ok, with that painful bit out of the way, in the many years of WSUCon we have never ever had a report of anyone having anything stolen, and the worst things lost or forgotten are ethernet cables.
