Welcome LAN Party administrators! By now you've surely joined the
hundreds of LAN Parties worldwide that enjoyed the many benefits of
using the Autonomous LAN Party project at their event. We hope that
it has been useful in coordinating tournaments, game servers, and
caffeine consumption. Unfortunately, it is with dismay that I must
announce the nerdclub programming team has disbanded some time ago and
will no longer be holding LAN events or developing the project.
However, our love for tournaments and the competitive spirit is not
dead. Many years and programming experience level-ups later, we've
decided to continue the project's core focus in a new tournament
administration website: Tournology.
Tournology will focus on the tournament administration and
participation aspects for all types of events, as well as serving as a
toolkit to be integrated into other niche software packages requiring
a simple, easy, usable tournament solution.
