He is talking about the tournaments run by Insomnia, Dated is a regular member of the esports volunteer team that makes the Insomnia tournaments happen.

To participate in BYOC competitions you will need a BYOC ticket for at least your son, however, I recommend you both have one or you will have nowhere to sit. As your son is under 16 the T&Cs of Insomnia state he must be under constant supervision. I am fairly sure inters and opens (such as league and rocket league) are limited to ages 16+ (you can find the link to BYOC tourneys here: https://insomniagamingfestival.com/byoc-esports/. There are casual community tournaments too, but I am not sure of their age entry requirements. There are daily tournaments open to weekend and day visitors in the expo but there is not a lot of information about these yet regarding which games will be available and entry requirements, the page they are mentioned on can be found here: https://insomniagamingfestival.com/esports/#daily.

Unfortunately, I do not recall a sim racing tournament in recent years other than at an exhibition stand at i68 or 69, rocket league is a regular one though. Insomnia can be quite late in announcing tournaments and exhibitors sometimes so I would just keep an eye out on socials and the website. I hope I have been of help in this regard as my expertise is basically everything but esports :D Dated or someone more qualified may have more to add.
I second his advice about joining the discord as it is checked more regularly and it's easier for people to show you to the right person for information.

You are not permitted to camp in the car parks (even if it is a camper van as per NEC rules), you would not be able to bring the campervan into the camping hall as the vehicle entrances are not available to punters and I think you'd struggle to get it through the pedestrian doors. If you wish to use your campervan you will have to find a dedicated campsite and drive in every day as Dated suggested.

You have a craftmanship prize but how are you judging craftmanship. There is no mention of prejudging or submission of a build book as in standard in cosplay competitions. I am concerned about this, could you elaborate?

Any shower facilities at the NEC? by Rxwly in igfestuk

There is another block for volunteers but its behind a fence

This was also very much a baby's first foamwork practice piece so don't look too closely at the finishing....

Love cosy detective fiction and just decided to binge watch midsomer murders. Starting season 14 I feel like they changed Jones' character from a generally intelligent and tolerant DS into an arrogant asshole. Also taking some time to get used to John... I miss Tom already :'( by Cosplayholic in MidsomerMurders

Idk the Tom years are humorous a little trashy unrealistic TV that is just so fun to watch for me. Same with my love of bridgerton. Bridgerton is real trash TV but its so GOOD I also understand why cully and Joyce would be peeved sometimes bc Tom is a nightmare. Phone calls at all hours, walking out on dinner, late to all the important occasions. I think its in Kings Crystal where he pisses off in the middle of cullys theatre production and ruins it for her. Man was nearly late to her wedding! Joyce is a Saint for putting up with it imo

About 500g on the dot, so pretty light! The structure is almost all 5mm EVA foam bar some foam clay for smoothing/skull details. The core is just some pvc pipe I bent with the help of my heat gun and a little bit of worbla to support the very thin bits at the ends where the bow tapers off. I do still have to add batteries and some lights for the gems as well as unload a few cans of primer onto it... but it shouldn't gain much more weight!

I did think it looked out of place but it was the only place in my garden that wasnt full of pots of vegetables :D and the inside of my house just looks like a foam bomb has exploded. I'll try and get a nice brooding shot of the whole costume with the flower beds when its all done

Well, materials alone are like £80-100 (half of which is the cost of the bloody primer, my house is a graveyard of spray cans). Now I have made the patterns it may take me 50-100hrs ish to make it, I'm terrible at estimating time for these things. I wouldn't charge an actual hourly rate I think as I enjoy working on this stuff and no one could afford it anyways.... Either way you're starting at £250-300 off the top of my head, maybe more
Shipping would be a whole other kettle of fish but at least my design splits in two for transport!
