FAQ

What is WSUCon?

WSUCon is an annual social gaming event hosted by the Linux Users' Group on campus. Its purpose is to bring WSU students, faculty, alumni, and the Pullman-Moscow gaming community together.

Is it really free?

Yes!
However, we do accept donations (donate here!). No ammount is too small! Visit our Sponsors page to find out more information.

Do I have to be a WSU student to attend?

Nope, we welcome WSU students, faculty, alumni as well as Pullman-Moscow community members and the public at large. Basically, anyone as long as they are not in bad standing with the clubs hosting the event.

Do I need to be registered for tournaments?

Yes! You must be registered for our official tournaments. For more information, go to our Games & Tournaments page.

Do I need a team?

Only if you want to participate in a tournament that requires a team to play.

Where can I find people for teams?

If you aren't sure where to find a team or people to be on your team, you can check out our Discord and event page. You could also try meeting people at the event!

Will there be prizes?

No, but you get bragging rights.

Do I have to stay the whole 12 hours?

No, but you absolutely can! There will be stuff to do throughout the entire event! Check out the official program for a complete list.

Will there be food?

Yes, we will provide pizza, snacks, soda, and coffee! Food is our biggest expense and we are currently paying out of our own pockets, so feel free to donate to help cover it!

What should I bring?

DISCLAIMER: If something is damaged, lost, or stolen, neither the Linux Users' Group, the Compton Union Building, or Washington State University is liable and will not under any circumstances replace your item(s).

Ok, with that painful bit out of the way, in the many years of WSUCon we have never ever had a report of anyone having anything stolen, and the worst things lost or forgotten are ethernet cables.
