Littoral Arena 09

CNCSAGA and students from the RSC department at the Calais IUT organised the event in March 2009.\

This project was organised by CnCSaga and orchestrated by Nathyel and her team.

The idea behind this concept was that Nathyel wanted to experiment with organising a LAN party, in order to gain a better understanding of the mechanics involved in organising this sort of event on a larger scale.

After more than five months of work and organisation, and despite various problems encountered, the project was successfully completed.
The tournament took place on Red Alert 3 and brought together no fewer than 15 participants in 1v1 matches

The participants went home with USB sticks, and two copies of Red Alert 3 – The Uprising were presented to the two overall winners of the tournament, Six2000 and Magmawar

This was an opportunity for CNCSAGA to raise its profile a little further with the local press in Calais and the surrounding area, and to strengthen its ties with partners such as Electronic Arts France.
