GameJunkies Tournament 2003

Posted by Dev at 12:16 2/5/2003.

GameJunkies have announced plans to run a LAN tournament later this year from August 1st to August 3rd at the Birmingham NEC. The 16 team tournament is sponsored by #Landed and #eSolutions and promises to be quite a decent event.

My understanding is that 32 teams will compeate in an online qualifier with 16 teams progressing into the LAN finals. Expect more information to follow but if you have any questions or anything check out #GameJunkies on Quakenet or alternatively you can visit the GameJunkies website.

don't want to put a dampner on it, but if a tournament hasn't organised any prizes at the time of announcing it, you know the prizes aren't gonna be substantial ;/ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

thats not the point though. I don't know what their aims are for this tournament but if you are trying to plan a decent sized tournament with good prizes you need to set yourself out a budget and sponsors before you announce it and get organised.

Have a look at all the CPL events etc. There is a reason they announce the prize kitty at the same time because they have done there work before hand and got the sponsors... It just smacks of ill planning thats all im saying :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Reason i have annouced this now is because we thought it might take a while to get 32 clans signed up and payed for this competition.
We have quite a few sponsors sorted and some kick ass prizes with more to come. I will tell you about them shortly when i have confirmed the date at the NEC and the new GameJunkies site designed by Pyroux is launched.
The reason for this bit of news now is to see what interest i can generate from it, to see if its worth while holding....

also, i know some of you think im a dick etc etc etc, but anyone who has been to one of my 9 previous events will know i hold kick ass LANS and this one thats in the making will be the best yet.

keep an eye out on the website: www.Game-Junkies.net (being updated atm) or #GameJunkies for more details [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

why is it?? its more fun.
This means any clan can enter and have a chance of going to a LAN and playing with the big boys.
This event should be a good one, the organising of it is going very well.
any questions, ask me in #GameJunkies [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

the downfall is ant clans like ourselves, fcc, shall config online and won all. taking a decent teams place at the lan and then doing sol at the actual event thus wasting a space. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

thats why all games online will be admin'd and if there is obvious configing, it may result in disqualification.

Trust me ive had this idea for months and have been working on it for a while. It will work and it sould run with no problems [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
