Age Restriction for the World Cyber Games Lifted

Posted by Fluke at 11:57 12/9/2002.

Dom (VGA) has updated the site with the following news:
"After consultation from world-wide partners, the World Cyber Games age restriction of 16+ has been dropped to 12 in the UK and for the Korean Finals. This is excellent news as some of our best gamers can now miss a few days of school (with permission of course)!!!

Certain games hold ELSPA ratings, so if you are under 15 years of age please bring a signed note from your parent providing consent to your participation."

Greece haven't lifted the ban. The judges merely ruled that it was an unlawful law but it's still illegal to break the law, although going by previous precedent you'll be acquitted of breaking the law that's unlawful even tho it is in fact law simply because it is unlawful.

I will go now. Please keep my padded room warm for me. I shall be back. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Really? I can't see anything saying the law has been suspended... All I can find is that the law courts have thrown out a case, setting the courts on a collision course with the state who made the law in the first place. The state set the law in the first place after a series of embaressing illegal gambling actions by top state members. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
