A power extension lead (example). No block power splitter (example)! Warning :
All the necessary drivers and installation CD/DVD
Important : please do all the major updates (both OS and games) before coming to the event. Indeed, even if we have an excellent internet connection it will become a problem if everyone does a full system/games update right after arrival.
A sleeping bag and mattress for sleeping.

Your arrival at PolyLAN

We will do our best so that you will be able to unload your equipment close to the entrance. A parking will be available. Staff will be there so that you do not get lost.
The location in the LAN will be decided soon before the event.

Before the LAN

A lot of animations are organized, a planning will be available soon before the event.
People who subscribe to the Cash Prize tournaments will play their matchs in priority but will also be able to play to the other animations in case of elimination.
Important : the LAN is a non-smoking event, as it is forbidden to smoke inside the building, it will however be possible to go outside very conveniently.
Glass bottles are forbidden in the building by internal EPFL rules.

Connection

You will be able to access the internet freely with our crazy 4Gbs full-duplex internet connection.
Your IP address and DNS will be provided by our DHCP server, so you should not experience any configuration issues.
The internal network is at 1Gbs for everyone.

Power

An event like this needs a lot of electrical power ( > 300'000W), thus each player will be provided with 2 power slots maximum.
No useless equipment will be tolerated (coffee maker, stoves, kettle, ... ).

Catering

You can get a snack from our bar at the entrance

Sleeping

You'll have to find your own place to sleep

Parking and access

A parking is available free of charge, close to the Congress Center.
The event is also easy to reach using public transportation. Indeed the EPFL metro station is at 200m from the building entrance.
