I might do that, too, especially if that means I can get my hands on Quake Wars!

How much does entry usually cost?

[UnDeaD77]

I'm not sure if there is a fee to specate or not. I'd love to bring my computer, but its just a pain to unhook everything and setup there and then rehook it back up etc. If I had a laptop, I deff try to signup for the BYOC lan and what not, but I've never really played quake at all so I'd be a noob at playing in the tourneys anyway.

Well, I'm going to try to sign up for it. I haven't played any Quake since Q2 came out, so I don't think I'll be on the cutting edge, either... Quake Wars, that's my motivation.

[UnDeaD77]

Sign ups open in 10mins.

if I'm able to see quake wars in action, or even try to play, I MUST go.




*edit, apparently when they just announced that the signups were open, the website crashed and the DB servers crashed.

[CingularDuality]

Well, I signed up, but I'm number 3189. If anyone else here signs up, use TacticalGamer as your clan name so we can find each other...

[UnDeaD77]

Man, I put it as website. I think I can re-edit it though. I'm 3846
