Pro Tips

There are a lot of bluetooth devices in the hall. Sometimes the frequencies can overlap causing issues.  Bring the wired cable for your headphones and/or bring wired backups for anything wireless.

Remember - we are not responsible for your stuff.  

You get one power plug at the event, so you must bring a power strip to plug in your PC and Monitors.  You are also responsible for your own surge protection.

We’ve got six sensors monitoring the hall temperature (Yes, we're that geeky). The hall is set at 68°F, but things don’t always go as planned—facilities can have issues. Be smart and pack for both warm and cool weather.

We encourage gamers to bring their own projectors to show off  games or other cool stuff on the walls! Just make sure your seat is close enough for a clear display, let us know before the event in Discord so we can run extra power, and remember—keep it all appropriate for minors

Prohibited Items

To keep LANWAR fun, safe, and welcoming for everyone, certain items aren’t allowed. Whether it’s for safety, security, or just making sure everyone has a great time, please check the list below. If you're unsure about something, feel free to ask before bringing it.

  1. No alcohol or drugs - Our venue is a dry campus.  Be smart, be safe.
  2. No smoking or vaping on campus - The campus is also a no-smoking campus. Enforcement of the no smoking policy outside is enforced by the university, not LANWAR.
  3. No torrenting or bandwidth abuse – Using torrents or other high-bandwidth applications that degrade network performance is strictly prohibited.
  4. Tents & large structures – No tents, pop-up canopies, or anything that obstructs walkways or visibility.
  5. Additional powered electrical devicesThe events power management is planned in advance and strickly enforced. There is enough power for your computer, monitors, and a few USB powered devices. But it IS NOT enough for extra equipment. For example: No powered speakers, external fans, air conditioners, humidifiers or de-humidifiers, heaters,  microwaves, refrigerators, lava lamps, mainframes, or tanning beds, etc. If we find them, we will confiscate them. 
  6. Network equipment – No personal routers, hubs, switches, or Wi-Fi extenders (they interfere with our setup).
  7. External speakers – Keep the noise levels down—headsets only!
  8. Extremely oversized monitors & setups – Each attendee gets 3 feet of table space—be considerate of your neighbors. Keep your setup reasonable and don’t be that guy.  If you need extra space for a larger setup, many gamers choose to purchase a second seat to spread out comfortably.
  9. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) – These can overload circuits and cause power issues.
  10. Inappropriate Content – No explicit, adult, or offensive clothing or material (LANWAR is a minor-friendly event).
  11. Open flames & hazardous materials – No candles, lighters, fireworks, or anything flammable.
  12. Weapons & replica weapons – This includes airsoft guns, prop firearms, and anything that could be mistaken for a real weapon.
  13. Drones or blimps – No flying inside the venue without prior permission.
  14. Anything else that is disruptive to fellow gamers.


  When in doubt, ask staff in Discord before the event.
