GUIDELINES
This record is for the longest LAN party, measured by the duration of the continuous party with the same participants.
1. Each person attending the party must bring their own home computer in order to count towards the total attendance figure.
2. At least 100 participants must remain at the party and continue to play a videogame with other participants in the LAN
3. No person under the age of 16 may compete. Persons aged between 16 and 18 must be in possession of a document signed by their parent or legal guardian, giving them permission to compete. This must be added to the log book and witnessed before the attempt has started.
4. Rest breaks – you are allowed 5 minutes rest for every continuously completed hour of activity. These can be accumulated to give, for example, 15 minutes after 3 full hours of activity. This is the only point where you may take a bathroom break. You may consume food and drink while the record is in progress, but this should not disrupt the flow of the attempt.
For example:
If participants play from 12:00 – 16:30, this is four complete hours and therefore allows up to 20 minutes rest. The team rests from 16:31 to 16:41, 10 minutes, and they can then carry the other 10 minutes they are entitled to forward for use in the future. The team then play from 16:42 to 18:32, which is one complete hour and accrues 5 minutes, at this time they would be able to take up to 15 minutes of rest (5 accrued from recent activity plus 10 carried over). Note the team have accrued 25 minutes of rest, although they have actually been playing for 6 hours 20 minutes in total.
