WonderBoy9

Spread the word guys....

We're probably gonna let people sign up on the day - but we're pretty dissapointed ourselves - the top prize for the final is really - great.

The overall winner gets....
A 32inch HD LCDTV

An Xbox 360

The Title of Official Pro Evo Champion

and the right to represent Ireland at the European Championships.

I thought these guys would be jumping at the chance - if you know anyone who would like to come please invite them down on the day.

Lack of coverage of the event the xboxness of it all would probably be the reason for that.

WarZoneBrother

stay connected to the www.worldgamerlive.com website for more info on Games tournaments and upcoming national events.

Tank Top Fever!

How did it pan out regarding five minute games? Does it get extended to ten at any point?

liverpoolkev

I signed up for the Dublin one would 3 of my mates be able to come and sign up at door. Is it free.

WarZoneBrother

there was one 10minute match against each person in your group...wish there where 2 5mins ones though then i might of actually won a game lol

WonderBoy9

Hi liverpoolKev,

Option 1 - if we get 256 people registered then yoru mates wont be able to come along on the day - saying that , 256 is still a bit of a way away. so they guys should be fine - but it a lot faster if yoru mates can register online - it means you can just walk right in, sign in and start playing...

an yes its FREE - completely FREE. Just make sure you're well warmed up - asn some of the guys in Limerick who say they're the best - we're knocked out in the early stages...just to warn you.

Berns

How come wasnt one up north in like Belfast or northerners excluded :rolleyes:

evad_lhorg
