Clan -QWPB- will be hosting a 2v2 DigitalPaint LAN/Tourny Dec. 15-17th.  It will be held @ the Hyatt Regency in Dallas if anyone is familiar with the old CPL's that's the Hotel however it will not be in the large Presidential room that the CPL was held in.  Instead I have reserved just a modest room that will hold what we hope to be up to 50 computers/setups comfortably as well.  Matches will be played on my personal machines with just a core install of the game nothing extra.  I have been negotiating things with my affiliates from the Professional gaming community as well as their sponsors from Dell and Plantronics and I'm currently trying to have 4 new XPS machines donated as well as 4 pairs of DSP-500 to help us for the event.  Their will be cash prizes involved.  Prize money will come from the entry fees which @ this point are going to be $100 dollars per team/$50 per person.  Payouts will be a 60% for 1st, 30% for 2nd, and 10%  for 3rd.  All tournaments proceeding will be recycled back into the payouts.  However in order to LAN for the days of the event there will be a $25 space rental per computer.  Internet/Wi-Fi capabilities will be available with no extra charge.  No food will be supplied @ this point however, we are in communication with the makers of Bawls guarana and possibly looking into getting a supply of drinks in exchange for advertising.  If you are interest in competing please IM me on here for registration info.  A website is being made as we speak and should probably be done within the next few days as soon as it is I will post it.  Hope to see all there. HAPPY HUNTING!

I'd just like to point out that if that is only for paintball2, then about 2 people will turn up. Nobody wants to fly/drive a long way to Texas to pay $75 to play in a 3-player tournament.

Are the headphones and XPS systems going to be given away?

I live in Texas, and might be interested if there is a turnout at all, or the prizes are worth the trip for me.

People are normally traveling and visiting relatives that close to the holiday canceling out a great deal of funds/time to begin with. Thats not even mentioning the cost of buying gifts. Remember Xmas is an expensive holiday and everyone tends to focus on family around that time.

Might be better just renting a server for the month and hosting the tournament over the internet. It might be more cost effective for everyone and im betting you would have more teams attending.

Just wanted to throw the idea out there. Good luck with the tournament.

but in all honesty. With the time being around Xmas, people enjoy (or are force to) stay with their parents or family. But who says you cant go online and play around that time.

I would like to see a tournament happen in the future.

Ifffffff there was a tournament in the future, I would beee sooooo happpyyy.
