Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions?
Whether it’s what to bring, how to join a tourney, or just how things work, consider this your player’s manual for the LAN.
What is FITES?
FITES is Pennsylvania’s largest LAN party, bringing together gamers of all ages and backgrounds since 2001 to compete, connect, and have fun in a positive environment. What began with 30 players in a Shippensburg University basement has grown into events hosting over 250 attendees and a thriving community.
What is a LAN party?
A LAN party is when gamers bring their own computers or consoles to one location, connect to the same high-speed local network, and play together in real time. It’s part competition, part community hangout, and all about the shared energy of gaming side-by-side.
When and where is the LAN Party?
The LAN Party will be hosted at the Carlisle Expo Center from January 30th through February 1st. Get directions.
Do I need to register ahead of time?
Yes – spots fill up fast, so make sure to secure yours early! You can register online here: Register Now.
What do I need to bring?
Bring your computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, and all the cables you need (including a long Ethernet cable and a power strip), and of course snacks and drinks to keep you fueled through the weekend.
What games will be played?
We’ll be running tournaments for specific titles (details announced closer to the event), but outside of that you’re free to play whatever you like. From classic LAN staples to the latest releases, if you and your friends bring it, you can play it!
What if I’ve never been to a LAN before?
No problem – FITES is the perfect place to start! Our community is super friendly, and plenty of attendees are first-timers. You’ll get all the help you need to set up, and before long you’ll be gaming side-by-side like a pro.
