Organised Chaos LAN Party
Organised Chaos (normally abbreviated as OC), was a monthly LAN Party held in Cape Town, South Africa at the Sunningdale Sports Complex as well as other venues in both Bloemfontein and Port Elizabeth. The LAN had a current capacity of 540 after moving away from the Bellville Velodrome in April 2012. The largest LAN Party held by Organised Chaos was in December 2010 at the Bellville Velodrome with a total of 1263 attendees. Its main organizers are Dietmar Rheeder-Kleist, Lance Aylward and Kyra Rheeder-Kleist. It was the largest monthly gaming event and LAN party in Africa[1] but has since sold its equipment to smaller organisations and is no longer hosting LAN events.

Organised Gaming Association
The Organised Gaming Association arranged a number of tournaments including the Frontosa Call of Duty 4 series and the Cafe Viva DotA series. The establishment of OGA was met with controversy after it was announced that members would have to sign MSSA (Mind Sports South Africa) membership forms. [2] The Frontosa Call of Duty 4 series has the highest prize money of all LAN events in South Africa, with a total of R30,000 (3,800 USD) prize money.[3]
The Organised Gaming Association has gone dormant and is no longer as a means of hosting tournaments pending a restructuring and massive development of a software framework required to run OGA.
The current tournament structure is formed by its crew members for each event with both social and competitive tournaments taking place. Prize money for the tournaments includes the pool of players buying into the tournaments and the internal contribution from Organised Chaos revenue.
