Coming to the lan? Play Halo 3? This might be, perhaps, of interest to you.
Are you a BMF at FFA? Yeah? Well, prove it a the 2009 2old2play Chicago Lan.
And it’s not just for bragging rights. There are serious cash prizes at stake.
There is no entry fee, though spots are limited to the first 32 players to sign up Friday night at the LAN. You can’t have someone sign up for you, nor can you have a ringer take your spot. Furthermore, you can only sign up for entry if you are a 2old2play member in good standing prior to March 31, 2009. Also, sober playing might not be allowed. You may or may not be required to do a shot of some foul tasting liquor prior to each round. Possibly.
So… you in?
Top 4 placements are guaranteed to make money, 5th thru 8th will be awarded a non cash prize.

The Nitty Gritty
Open only to 2old2play members in good standing who were registered with the site prior to March 31, 2009. IDs will be checked, as well site registration dates.
Games will be played starting on Saturday around Noon(ish) and finishing when they finish. Pre-Championship Rounds will be FFA, three games played per round. Best cumulative kill score at end of three games will determine who advances to the next round. There will be no losers’ bracket. In most cases, in games of six players, the top three will advance, though room size will be dependent upon the amount of players that sign up.
Championship Final will be the last eight players (all guaranteed prize finishers).Championship will consist of five FFA games. Finishing placement will be determined not by games won, but by cumulative kill score over five games.
In the event of any game having a tie between players, tiebreakers will be in this order: least deaths, assists and headshots.
