UK National UT3 Championships

Unreal Tournament 3 is nearly upon us and the demo has been very well received. We were one of the first organizations to provide a download location for the demo.

We were also one of the first people to have hosted UT3 servers up and running for the demo and while we are talking about firsts do not forget that EnemyDown is the first site to offer Global Ranking Stats!

When it comes to UT3 we seem to be setting a bit of a precedent, so why stop there? EnemyDown is proud to announce that we will be running two launch tournaments in partnership with play.com and Midway. The tournaments will be UK based. There will be a single player tournament which will have a fantastic prize pot of £20,000, and a team based tournament which will command an impressive £30,000 prize pot.

In order to take part in the UT3 tournaments you MUST pre-order and purchase a copy of the game from play.com. You will receive a unique registration code which will be required to confirm your entry into the tournaments. That one unique registration key can be used to enter both of the tournaments if that is your desire.

These tournaments will be decided at a LAN in March, 2008. The venue is currently top secret so you will have to watch this space for that announcement.

Don’t forget, to qualify for the competition you MUST have bought your copy of UT3 from play.com so if you have it pre-ordered elsewhere now is the time to cancel that order and visit play.com to be in with a chance to win.
If you are in the market for that something extra special you can also pre-order the Limited Edition version and receive an entry code.

You can signup for EnemyDown and find out a little more about these competitions on the information page.

It's not us... just hope they don't conflict it with i33 in March (21-24). That wouldn't be good for either LAN.

Doesnt seem to be going down too well with the community overall :(

/me looks at shed and oxy regarding what multiplay will be offering in way of leagues/tournaments :D for those of us not ordering our copy through play.com

Its £24.99 from play.com £39.99 for the console versions, which doesnt seem too bad.

From that thread it seems the tourney for the finalists is provisionally scheduled for the week before i33 but that means the heats taking place online will around Xmas time thereabouts which seems a bit too early for a newly released game.

"The LAN finals are currently scheduled for 15/16th March - although this could change..... we'll keep you updated as more info is confirmed"

Not sure if that's someone official though, a comment from DaBigDog on 7th...

Heh, that's such a cockup.

Refusing access to players with genuine copies of the game just because they didn't buy them from a preferred retailer? That's absurd.

Does seem a bit off making you buy from play.com to enter this tourney.

So it's actually a play.com tournament, not a UK one then :confused:
