It has to be good because of the amount of alliteration... right? You bet!

UK LAN gaming organisers Multiplay have colluded with Butlins to bring a massive 1250 player LAN tournament to Bognor Regis in 2006 - the Butlins Computer Gaming Championship, or BCGC if you're a FoA (fan of acronyms). £99 gets you entry into the festivities for three days, plus accommodation. The event takes place between the 5th and 8th of January - a great start to the new year!

With so many attendees, it's no surprise that it's a bring your own computer arrangement. Prizes total over £25 000 in value. Everybody who has a ticket is automatically entered into a draw to win a £17 000 Vauxhall Astra Sport, plus there's a £10k prize in CS 1.6 along with a £6k Battlefield 2 tournament. There's an Xtreme PC exhibition, along with a Fifa X-Box tournament... so safe to say there's plenty to do for your £99 and plenty to win!.

Rest assured that there will be a 24 hour licensed bar, 24 hour security, 24 hour refreshments (pizza, anyone?), and did we mention the 24 hour licensed bar?

For more information, or if you want to be a part of this gargantuan gaming bonanza, head over to the BCGC website .

Doesn't really interest me much (I prefer small scale personal LAN's) but it's a great idea! :D (Having one somewhere like Butlins, I mean)
1250 players though… I've been to a 400 player LAN and that was impressive enough, but over a thousand, crickey!
Wow - thats a big one!

I dont think i could ever go to a LAN that size :p it would be pretty freaky imo, im not a people person as best of times, 100 - 200 ppl LANs are fine :p but 1250!!!!!!!!! DUDE!!!
Butlins is great! What a great venue! There's a Halo 2 tournament on Xbox as a sideline to the Pc tournament as well
