FOM, which stand for Frag-O-Matic, is Belgian's largest LAN party, gunning for 800 participants for their February 2009 (20-22nd) edition. FOM has chosen two competitions to be their pro competitions with a boosted prize purse, and Gamevibes has the honours to run these events in the most professional manner possible.
These competitions are:
Counter-Strike Source Prize purse : 2000 € CASH
Max. teams : 32
Registration fee (includes entrance also) : 150 € (total per team)
Tournament structure: group stages and single elimination (b03)
BYOC with option to rent PC’s and finals on tournament PC’s on stage
FIFA 2009Prize purse : 1000 € CASH
Max. players : 64
Registration fee (per player) : 30 €
Tournament structure: group stages and TBD
BYOC with option to rent PC’s and finals on tournament PC’s on stage
*** both tournaments start very early on Saturday morning so a Friday arrival is preferred and the tournament will be over by Sunday 16.00 PM *** we might possibly add hardware prizes to the cash prize purse ***
Furthermore there are several smaller tournaments being run, including a 600 € Counter-Strike 1.6 competition, 400 € for Trackmania Nations and hardware competitions for Call of Duty, Quake, …
With interest from international participants being high, we decided to arrange for a possibility to
rent PC’s at a cheap price for the weekend. The price is 65 € per person for a new shuttle PC (3 months old) with great specifications and possibly a multitude of games already installed. These PC’s will be available on your spot with no setup required anymore at day one and you can simply leave your pc when you go home.
There are also a couple of hotels in the neighbourhood and sleeping facilities (though limited) are also available on the FOM site or upon request (see below).
