We run prize winning tournaments at every event, which do vary from year to year as new games come out.

There are of course some firm favourites which nearly always make a return at every event. Counter-Strike Source, Team Fortress 2, Call Of Duty 4 and Starcraft2 are among the regulars at the event, but make sure you keep an eye on our tournaments page to see what we have planned for each event!

You can even setup your own tournament if you want! Just ask one of our tournament admins and they will create you a full tournament setup in our event tournament system :)

Also, if you find that people are playing a game that you don't have, don't worry! We have our own local Steam content server, which allows you to get your gaming purchases super quick!

Spectators are able to enter some tournaments, depending on what is running for that particular event.

For example, spectators can enter tournaments for the World Cyber Games when they are held at the Insomnia Gaming Festival, however they cannot enter the prize winning event tournaments.

For more information on what tournaments are available to Spectators, see the Tournaments page for the event you are you looking to attend!

A Clanbox is a private room that you and your friends can have all to yourselves, assuming you can fill it of course!

Located in private suites around the venue, the Clanboxes are essentially private meeting / dining rooms that we convert into little LAN gaming boxes of win! They are very luxurious, with their own air conditioning and are all fully lockable. We have two different sizes of Clanbox, which you will need 32 or 36 people with paid tickets to fill.

Having a Clanbox at Telford will be full on VIP LAN gaming at it's very best, so we will looking at whether this will be an extra charge on standard BYOC tickets, as this will be dependant on the venue levying any additional charge for their use.

Information on how to book a Clanbox will be communicated once we have worked out all the details!

Clanboxes are allocated on a first come, first served basis, and once seated in a Clanbox you cannot move seats unless you have found a replacement (this includes if you decide to cancel your ticket)

As ever, if you wish to get in touch with us about Clanboxes, just head over to our Contact Us page!
