Attitude –
Be a good sport. Be Considerate of the other players. Be considerate of the people running the event. Everyone’s at the event to have fun, so don’t be a killjoy.
Viruses/Malware –
Check your machine with any virus scan (free or premium) BEFORE bringing it to the LAN. Any machine found to be infected on the network will be disconnected until we can be certain that the machine is clean. There are no refunds for any lost time due to virus/malware infection.
Denial of Service/ General Evilness –
If you are found to be willfully hurting network performance, to any one person or the network as a whole you will be asked to leave the LAN without a refund and banned from all future MWL events.

If it’s by accident, or a mistake, we understand it happens and will help you resolve the problem (if needed).
Cheating –
If you are caught cheating in a tournament you and/or your team will be disqualified and potentially removed from the event without a refund.
Large File transfers –
We do not discourage file copying, we know that’s a big part of any LAN. We do ask that during tournament times that you refrain from doing transfers that may affect game play (hitting the game servers, competitor’s machines, or crossing inter switch links.) If there’s an issue found to be caused by file transfer traffic you will be asked to stop until the tournament is over.
Pornography –
Don’t have it/distribute it/watch it at the LAN. Simple as that.
