Virtual Area
Lan party for 600 players
Lot of differents competitions, like Counter Strike, Day of Defeat, Quake 3, Age of Empire, ...
Presence of the official team of Microsoft
Presence of the world champion team at Day of defeat
Dream Area
Demonstrations on tables of Warhammer 40k, Battles, Mordheim, ....
Demonstrations/competitions of Magic, Star Wars, ...
Evolution of the role playing games over the years.
Murder party during the three days of the show.
And...
Action Area!!
Sup'Air ball field build inside the Hall, right near the entrance in fact.
Exhibitions of "professional" players (featuring Endurance and Max Brothers teams)
Almost free renting of equipement for the visitors, to allow them to see what paintball really is.
Lazer game
The result was quite impressive for a first edition.
Over the three days, we did more than 400 rentals. I guess we got over 6000 visitors over the 2,5 days the event was open to the public.
In fact at one moment poeples had to wait more than 3 hours to play a few games!
We were running at full capacity on Saturday and Sunday, so high we had to cancel a lot of demonstrations just to allow poeple to play, and ran out of CO2 and Air on Sunday (and we had a lot of bottles...).
We saw poeple leave during the day, just to come back a few hours later with friends. They didn't care they had to pay 2 times the entrance lol.
We even saw poeple come 5 times in a row (which now plays in a team and will start the Belgian league in September hehe).
From a media point of view, let's say the impact was, hum, tremendous
. Higher than a lot of Millennium events I guess.
Hang on, we got:
The three main TV channels24 articles in newspapers (yes, 24!!!)
A local radio was on site during the whole event. They did a lot of interviews, broadcasted live over their network.
Live retransmission of the event over the web site of Ludika.
Of course, with such a level of pub, we start to see now a big increase of players on the differents fields in Belgium. We got also a few new teams in the Belgian league, just because they tried paintball at Ludika.
The funny thing is we put together the paintball part in less than a week. We didn't have the time to do what we really wanted, but we learned a lot of things.
Next year we'll use a whole hall just for the paintball!!. This'll allow us to setup at least a full 5vs5 field, or maybe a 7vs7.
We already plan to do a competition during the event (maybe in the frame of the Belgian league). It'll be really funny to play in front of 2,3 or four thousands poeple hehe.
We'll also setup another field just for the rental players, and ask some companies if they want to be there.
A lot of good things are comming in Belgium, trust me
