What is PacketWars?
PacketWars™ is a sport like nothing you have ever experienced! Games known as Battles pit individual players in a race against time to achieve predefined objectives, win prizes and attain FAME. Operating in the shadows of the Internet beyond the rule of TCP/IP and devoid of compassion, a secret war rages. Sometimes spilling over into the “real” world, digital battles are waged to advance the will of the combatants.
Why should YOU be there?
The combatants are as varied as their skills and motivation. Every engagement is unique. It is our duty to chronicle these events. Join us as we open a portal to extreme hacking. Do you have what it takes to survive? Plus, it’s free, it’s fun, and there are prizes waiting for you!
What do you need to do to prepare for Battle?
There will be 6 teams with a maximum of 8 people- First come, first serve.
Teams and participants must register by 1500 of the first conference day(2016.16.03). No exceptions!
This event takes place after the shared TROOPERS dinner on Wednesday evening. For the dinner, each team will have an assigned table. Please gather at your table to avoid logistical challenges.

10k TROOPERS Run – Thursday March 17th, 7:00AM Mariott Hotel
TROOPERS15 saw the largest group of runners yet! 24 people participated, raising 1,200EUR for our TROOPERS16 Charity Campaign! Thank you!
Since this TROOPERS classic isn’t going anywhere you have plenty of time to put on a pair of running shoes (although one person did the run in dress shoes!) and level up so you too can participate in the 10K up the Philosopher’s Way!
Do you have what it takes??? See the details for TROOPERS16 below;
We will host a 10k run on the morning of March 17th 2016. Our fearless leader Enno will lead TROOPERS up the historic Philosopher’s Way (also a great time/place to take pictures!) We will meet at 7am in the lobby of the Marriott Heidelberg.
And don’t forget that for every kilometer achieved by a TROOPER during the 10k TROOPERS Run, ERNW is donating 5 € into the funding pool!
Check out last year’s TROOPERS15 Charity Campaign to see the amazing causes we raised the funds for.
