Are you serious?? What a joke.......

Ill be using bretts or alans! Lol

Electric is $75 and you will pay at the convention center

Power is actually pretty cheap in Shreveport. The Swepco plant is about 1/2 mi from the convention center. That's alot of convenience fees.

Gentlemen, bring your flatscreens, hairdryers, microwaves, and flux capacitors. Gotta get your monies worth!

i always thought these fees for power were such a rip off. i mean isnt usaci and our entry fees paying to rent this place? or does the hotel even get that money? if usaci keeps the cash its def BS . 75 bucks for power.. how is it drag can figure power into their entry fees?

I'll get as many electronics as I can. lol


Xbox tournament anyone?

I could never answer this question before because I wasn't involved from beginning to end but I can this time. The fees for the Convention center, hotel, advertising and such are way over $20,000. No your entry fees will not cover the total bill to put on Finals. The Electricity is paid directly to the Convention Center and you will go to THEIR booth and pay then they will hook you up. Ralph gets no monies from that what so ever or the hotel. Would be nice if we did though

that sucks. wonder if it would work out better to INCLUDE power in the fee for renting the hall..

I did ask that however during our meeting with them cause I didn't know any better. They all looked at me and said "that is another department." Put me in my place...lol

Danny Britain is gonna need more than that for whats under that box! He needs a lightning bolt.

seriously if thats what he needs it can be takin care of thats just another department as well

heres my input i will bring my generator and run a Dung Pile load of extension cords plus i will share with all that is around so that will solve that problem

this may be the wrong section but is the hotel connected to the hall or did i dream that?

It's in the same facility. Parking lot is connected by an enclosed walkway 15 ft above the road.

On a side note, I wonder how many complaints we'll get for Rowland, Kumar, Danny, etc. bangin out 160s so close to the hotel.

I'm envisioning every resident gets a vibrating wakeup call. The huge kitchen gets 1000 broken glasses and plates. Ceiling tiles coming down. Rich people's champagne exploding in their suites.

Anything like that ever happened in past years?

LOL no not that I am aware of. We are in a Convention Center and the walls are pretty thick, but that would be pretty interesting if that did happen.

See you guys at FINALS

Dang that's higher than my elet bill each month

from my knowledge danny hayes and his dad is footing the bill to rent it...ask them

$75 is retarded tho...i guess best way is to split it with a bunch of buddies and bust out the extension chord and power strips

There are typically amperage limits for each socket. If you share with too many guys you will not receive the full charging that you paid good money for. Just food for thought. I've shared power in the past. If you look over the electrical layout of the hall you will see the amperage ratings for the sockets.

The prices are stupid but that's just one of the ways the convention center makes a profit and keeps the doors open. Last year we all got tags for our extension cords. If you did'nt have a tag you got unplugged.

thay still unplugged it even with a tag over night at least i know that mine did last year
