²Steven Chin Contact Info: Proposal copy:

Hello,

I’m a UBC student (not in CompSci) and I’m interested in holding Halo 2 (and 3) tournaments at your building. It’s non-profit and prizes will be handed out. We’re looking to accommodate up to 64 players, but this is not necessarily the case. Let me know if you’re interested.
