The last few tournaments I ran we just had everyone bring their own hardware. Most people brought laptops, but some people who drove brought larger machines.
Then all you need is the congress to allocate you a room for a few days. I used to run it on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday since Wednesday is a day off, and the having the computer tournament early let me enjoy the rest of the congress.

We finally heard back from the where we're holding the Congress, and their policy on using their computer labs appears to be completely unworkable: Begin forwarded message: Also, these computer are pretty locked down, security-wise, meaning that anything needing to be installed has to be done through the User Support Office, with a minimum of four weeks notice. Any thoughts on what to do now? I can't think of anything better than having people bring their own machines. (Since there will be prize money involved, we can't reasonably allow remote connections.) I'm also trying to get some funding from industry, but I'm not holding my breath on that one. Peter Drake http://www.lclark.edu/~drake/
