Fortnite Tournament Thoughts Check with the IT person about using the internet for gaming. Our first one was an all-nighter. That really wasn t necessary I think next time it will stop about midnight or 1. {Probably easier to get sponsors.} We allowed 7-12 graders play. We charged $12.00 per player (they thought $50.00 team was too high). Students from other schools could form teams. All teams (squads) completed an entry form that included where they went to school and grade they were in. There were 4 players on a squad. Students brought their own systems, consoles, T.V., etc. All we supplied was electricity and wifi. We also supplied table/desks and chairs. (even though some brought their own chairs) You may need extension cords and strips. Each squad was in a classroom with a score keeper or squad monitor. That person does need to have knowledge of the game. Be prepared they like the lights off when they are playing. Some kids played around a table others would spread out across the room with a player in each corner. We considered using a large room like the gym or cafeteria but I think outlets would have been a problem. Since players were in different rooms they really didn t interact with each other so there really was not trouble between the squads. We also had teachers/sponsors that would walk the halls and check in on the rooms. We had a concession stand with very unhealthy foods that the kids loved. We did sell Monsters but limited the number they could buy. After mid-night we sold breakfast burritos. Kids had to clean up rooms before they could leave. If you are going to use other teachers rooms (we used coaches, they seem to have the least decorations) take a picture of the room so you can put everything back where you found it. Someone will borrow a chair from one room and it will not get returned and you will be in trouble on Monday!!!! We had a kid be like an MC and he would get on the PA every hour or so and give updates and scores. We would have scheduled breaks for the restroom and the concession stand. I will definitely do it again. It was a lot of fun, really not a whole lot of preparation on my part. You attract such a wide variety of students. I still do not understand this game!!!!!!
