Please forward this email to all of your friends and clan members!!!

The popularity of Quake in the Web Cafe has been mind-blowing, so we are

holding the first of many Quake Tournaments on Monday, March 3 from

6pm-10pm. The rules and prizes are outlined below. Please reply to this

email if you want to take part, because only the first 60 respondents

can

participate in this tournament... the rest will have to wait until the

next

one. I will email the first 60 respondents a full list of tournament

participants and their starting times for the preliminary round. Please

read the rules carefully, and come on in to the Web Cafe to practice for

March 3!
