FPS bench
The March Rotterdam sheet still stands. 360 Hz, a deep pad, and a chair that does not roll into the next cable. Sensitivity is the player’s. The monitor is not.

Stations and setups
What sits on a PartynomPlay bench, what a player may carry in, and what gets bagged at the door. This is a floor document, not a shop.
Floor rules
The bench stays boring
A series should fail because of a read, not because a dongle slept. The same four rules have held since Rotterdam in March.
- Wired network only. Wireless adapters are bagged at check-in and returned after the last series.
- Players may bring mice, mousepads, headsets, and, on fighting days, an inspected lever or leverless.
- Monitors, PCs, and cabinets stay on the bench. A personal monitor is not a negotiation.
- Overlays that cover the score are removed from stream PCs before doors.
Bench card
Three stations, one hall
Numbers are the minimum the desk will accept on a 2026 stop. A room can be sharper. It cannot be softer without a written note.
| Piece | FPS station | MOBA station | Fight cabinet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display | 24.5 inch, 360 Hz, low-latency mode on | 27 inch, 240 Hz, more desk for the camera | Supplied panel, 1 ms mode, no extra filters |
| Control | Player mouse and pad. Hall keyboard if needed, linear switches | Player mouse. Hall board is low-profile linear | Hall stick or leverless. Personal hardware after inspection |
| Audio | Closed headset. Hall mix ducked under footsteps | Closed headset. Draft clock audible in the booth only | Cabinet audio plus a headset if the player brings one |
| Network | Wired drop per seat, labelled | Wired drop per seat, spare on the floor | Local cabinets, no wireless pads |
| Titles | Valorant, CS2, Siege, Call of Duty, Apex, PUBG, Fortnite | League of Legends, Dota 2, Overwatch 2 | Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6 |
Draft bench
League and Dota need a calmer desk and a clock the booth can see without turning. Overwatch shares this row when the map pool is hero-shaped rather than tactical.
Cabinet row
Ring City and the Winter LAN use the same cabinets. Buttons are checked for bounce. A lever that fails inspection plays on the hall stick, not on a promise.
Pitch station
EA FC runs on wired pads from the hall pool. A player’s own pad is allowed only after the port check. Refresh sits at 120 Hz or better. No wheels, no wireless.
Arena station
Rocket League uses the same pad rule as the pitch, with a deadzone note if a player asks for it in writing before the Swiss round.
Body and room
Chairs lock. Desks are matte. Bias light stays behind the panel, never in the eyeline of the opponent camera. Step-free entry is listed on the floor note when the room has it.
After the series
What the gear file keeps
The desk does not publish a shopping grid. It publishes what survived contact with a full room.
- Failures: a drop that flapped, a cabinet button, a headset that bled the hall into a search round.
- Changes for the next stop, written as a line on this page before the next doors.
- Supplier names only when a placement is agreed. None are agreed for the 2026 public sheet.
