VGA Final Venue Announced

Posted by Myers at 11:00 9/6/2002.

My apologies for delay in this it was piled in the submit news section of our website. But Dom from the VGA has announced the final venue for the UK CPL final. Here's the official statement.
The UK Final for the CPL Qualifier will be held in Northampton at one of the latest and largest gaming centres in the UK. The "IT Centre" is in the heart of Northampton and comes with plenty of parking space and is near the train station. They have a 2MB Leased Line installed, a room with 25 Internet PCs in and 2 other rooms with 20+ Gaming PCs in each. A spectator room with projectors and sound system ensures for good viewing. Click here for further info on the site. Gamers wishing to go to the centre before the final to practice on their machines, please call them on 01604-239988.
Also on a sub-note, if you wish to sign up for a regional event, or not sure which one to attend, contact [VGA]Dave who can usually be found in #thevga on quakenet irc.

13:54 9/6/2002		 Shame it couldnt be held at cyberweb in Slough, cause that would be such a good venue for the Quals. Though this centre sounds similar, sadly the site for this place has absolutely no pictures, so cant really tell what its like. Doesnt say specs of the pc's, but the fact they have GF4's prolly means they're pretty good :P [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

17:13 9/6/2002		 It's a very central location mainly because teams will be travelling from all around the country - winners of each qualifier. Also the venue really is superb, so don't worry about that aspect! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

23:26 9/6/2002		 Iron, just noticed the following that Sujoy posted on a previous thread.

It's £50 per team, with up to 6 players registering per team (1 sub allowed). That's the cost for entering a local qualifier with up to 8 teams competing. The winner from each qualifier earns the right to take part in the UK Final where first place prize is flights+accomodation and an autoberth at the Dallas CPL Summer Championships.
Certain teams will be given an autoberth into the UK Final. Currently DNC definitely will receive an autoberth to the UK Final on the merit of their PS2002 win. Also Infinity Esports will also receive an autoberth due to winning the last UK CPL event. There will be two other autoberths announced later this week, yet to be decided, although nocturne are top of the list right now. I just want to speak to a few more people before a decision is made.

Any opinions and feedback are welcome. I'll be posting more information on the VGA website on Monday along with a registration form.

11:09 10/6/2002		 What was wrong with TPF for hosting lans?
I think the 2 CPL qualifiers i played in there were probably the best lans ive played in, simply cause the venue crated a good atmosphere.
With Sujoy's experience, im expecting this 1 to be just as good. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
