Double Or Nothing At The FragCafe

Posted by Hotshot at 09:24 28/9/2003.

Flapping through the mailboxes at UKT yesterday came news of this little ray of sunshine which soon beckons to brighten our days. The Frag Cafe in Sheffield, in association with the UK E-sports League, have put pen to paper and taken on the task of arranging a 32 team tournament spread out over 4 weeks, which will eventually lead to a £1000 cash prize for the overall winners.

Here's a little snippet on how the event will be co-ordinated over the coming weeks:

The tournament structure consists of four qualifying events, eight teams at each, these are on a fortnightly basis. The tournament itself will be of a double elimination structure with further rules and map list being announced next week along with a sign up form for the events.

The four qualifying events will be on the following dates:
• 18th October
• 1st November
• 15th November
• 29th November

Each event will have an admission charge of £15 per player and £5 per spectator/sixth player. The final event will be held on the 20th of December, with a prize of £1000 for the winners, £500 for second place and £250 for third place. With an additional £100 going to the winners of each qualifier.

The tournament is open to all, and coupled with the launch of the new AMD TAG team in conjunction with PC Gamer, it's yet another example of the UK dragging itself up to the standards of european competition and offering players the opportunity to reward both themselves, and their team-mates.
