Maybe you want to help us out as a volunteer?
Frag-o-Matic is constantly looking for volunteers to help organize our LAN parties!
The well known ones this year is the upcoming 16.0 edition in February and the 16.1 in September, but we also support smaller events if possible.
If you feel like doing awesome stuff for the LAN scene, do not doubt yourself and join our group. We have about 50 volunteers/crew members and we are divided in 14 specialized teams. If you become a member of the crew you will get to know a lot of new people, work together with nice people and learn a lot.
As a volunteer you will receive:
If you're interested, do send an e-mail to crewcare@fom.be containing your full name, age and a short introduction about yourself.
It would be nice if you can tell us in this e-mail for which team you would be applying: animation, video & sound, media, catering, compo's, gameservers, helpdesk, network, power, press, security, software development, sponsoring or VIP.
We are in dire need of:
Any knowledge that you may gain during your volunteering period can come in handy for work / other activities some day.
The whole FoM crew wishes you great holidays!
PS: Early bird tickets payment period closes soon!
Awesome Retro will be returning to Frag-o-Matic this February!
We are glad to anounce that Awesome Retro is returning to FoM this February. They will have a large booth full of retro consoles and games where you can play all day / night long!
This month they are also looking for support, wich they call "Donation December". If you have any old consoles, games or other retro gaming gear lying around gathering dust, why nog give it a second life and donate it to Awesome Retro.
Take a look at their website or facebook for more information on how to donate, or take it with you to FOM and give it to them there:
With the start of our ticket sale (all details can be found: HERE) we are organising another contest! You can win a badass Logitech G gaming gear bundle worth of €300! The bundle contains a G510s keyboard, G700s gaming mouse and a G430 headset!
All you have to do to make a chance in winning the bundle is to visit our community fanpage and like & share our flyer: http://goo.gl/U0Fdh3 and let your friends know that you attend Frag-o-Matic Airborne!
Thanks Logitech G for the nice prize!
The contest ends on the 1st of January 2014. We are giving the prize during FoM 16.0
UPDATE: VIP TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT!
Starting from the 1st of December we will be selling our famous VIP and early bird tickets. Our VIP tickets were sold out pretty quick after the opening, so if you want to attend FoM 16.0 as a VIP, don't hesitate too long to pay for your ticket! We provide a total of 26 VIP Tickets. Our early bird tickets will be available as well.
VIP tickets can only be bought by PayPal. Once you place an order you have 24 hours to pay the tickets. If the payment is not completed within 24 hours the order will be cancelled. If you want to obtain VIP tickets as a group we advise you to have one person place the order for the whole group. Like always, we follow the principle of 'First come, first served'.
This edition will have different ticket types such as early bird tickets, regular and late entry. The sooner you buy your ticket, the cheaper they are! If you plan to come as a group (clan/team/...) we advise you that you buy your tickets as a group. This makes it easier to arrange seats next to each other and gives a certainty that every member of the team will have a ticket.
More information about the ticket types and the benefits of purchasing a VIP ticket can be found: HERE
Information on how to buy group tickets and other information about the ticket procedure can be found: HERE

You might have noticed during FoM 15.1 that some of the crew were running around with camera equipment. FoM 15.1 was the start of one of our new projects called FoMTV. This edition was just a test edition where our media team was focusing on shooting as much footage of the event as they could. This FoMTV concept will become more and more important for our upcoming events!
The footage of the event is still being looked over and edited. We already have some results to share, and there's more to come!

Unfortunately, Frag-o-Matic 15.1: Underwater has come to an end. There was a lot going on both in front of the PC screens, but also next to them! Even though we can organize as many competitions as we want, the event would be nothing without the atmosphere that our loyal participants bring.
Next to that, a word of thanks is in place for all of our volunteers (more than 70 members) who helped prepare the event the past couple of months! Without them we wouldn't have any competitions, catering, cool live images & video, ... It's a big job to organize a kick-ass event time and time again.
Last but not least, our sponsors and logistics partners! Without them we wouldn't have prizes, an internet connection, a livestream, goodies and so much more!
Some cool highlights of this edition were undoubtedly:

Hello Legendary FoMmers,
By now, you have probably heard/noticed that the League of Legends (RIOT) servers are down.
Due to maintenance to fix some issues, league of legends won’t be available for at least 2 more hours.
This means that we had to make some difficult decisions.
Decisions made by the FoM compo admins (LoL & Head):
The schedule:
RO 16 & Quarter finals (bo1/bo3) – ASAP
Semifinals (bo3) – today (before 03:00)
Final (bo3) – 12:00
Lower brackets - depending on time (final must start at 12:00)
We are sorry we had to make these decisions.
Kind regards,
HapHazard
FoM 15.1 LoL Head admin
As you all know LoL has been down for a while and will be for another 3 hours, untill 00:00.
There is nothing we can do about this since it's a problem with the Riot servers, not FOM.
Because of this there will be some serious time problems for our compo's.
Anyone playing in the 5v5 compo must give absolute priority to that compo! The 5v5 compo will not wait for you, not even for 5 minutes.
There will be a strict schedule for the 1v1 as well.
Round 1 (RO128) 00:30 - 01:15
Round 2 (RO64) 01:15 - 02:00
Get some sleep?!
Round 3 (RO32) 08:00 - 08:45
Round 4 (RO16) 08:45 - 09:30
Round 5 (QF) 9:30 - 10:15
Round 6 (SF) 10:30 - 12:00
Round 7 (Final) 12:00 - 13:30
Matches that start too late for any reason will be forfeited.
Starting earlier is allowed and advised when possible.
If the Riot servers are not back up at 00:30, we will start the compo tomorrow at 08:00.
The new LoL 1v1 brackets are now online: http://binarybeast.com/xLoL13091413
Teamcaptian meeting: 21h30 for check in !!!

Dear Gamerz
To do not enough time and the fact that some teams are not finished with their timeschedule we need to close the poules at 21:00. All scores MUST be delivered to the compo desk against 21:30.
This means that the remaining matches will be counted draws!
We looked through the poules and it doesn't make a huge change in the points and who goes through to the brackets.
With friendly greetings
