Greetings to all of TAW! We are excited to announce the first of many recurring TAW-wide tournaments!
Throughout July, TAW will be hosting a tournament open to all TAW members who are PFC and above.

The game:
We will be using Urban Terror, a free first person shooter game that is easy to download and install and is multi-platform for: PC, Linux and MAC. The game is very frugal with resources and can run on old and weak computers. The game is infantry-only, very easy to understand with highly-intuitive WASD controls.
The tournament will be hosted on centrally-located dedicated servers donated by the QW division to maximize ping and provide a smooth playing experience for all members.

Tournament Organization:
All TAW members PFC and above are eligible and encouraged to participate! Members will be required to sign up individually between June 13th and July 4th to give organizers time to group people into teams. (see links below to sign up). The size and amount of teams will be decided after the sign-up process is complete. When signing-up, people should specify if they want to volunteer to be Team Captains. Team Captains will have the responsibility of leading their team, submitting match reports to the organizers after each match, and representing their team in the briefings and debriefings. Once Team Captains have been chosen, participants will be randomly divided up into teams. Tournament Organizers will try and disperse European, Oceanic and American players evenly to equalize ping and internet connection quality. This will be a great chance to meet and fight alongside people from outside of your division. Floaters to help fill absences on teams will consist of members from Central Command and the tournament organizers. Matches will be 20 minute Team Death Match rounds, preceded by 5 minutes of warm-up time. The team with the most kills wins! The map pool will be drawn from Urban Terror's stock maps, and will be announced once sign-up is complete.

Here is the time-line:
Free-time to practice the game: June 13th - July 11th  (there will be a public server up and running throughout this time for TAW members to practice and play on. The server name is: TAW|Artists of the Battlefield|Urban Terror and the IP is: 70.32.38.218:27960 )
Sign up time: Sunday June 13th - Sunday July 4th
Sunday July 4th - Saturday July 10th: Organization period to get tournament ready.
Match Day 1: Sunday July 11th: time? 2pm EST/1700 GMT    Tournament officially starts
Match Day 2: Sunday July 18th                                         2nd day
Match Day 3: Sunday July 25th                                         3rd day
Match Day 4: Sunday August 1st                                       Final day and awards!

Every member who participates will receive the following commendation in their dossier from the Commander in Chief of TAW:  "Participated in TAW@War 1: Urban Terror held in July 2010. The days date, GEN5_Hook Commander-in-Chief of TAW." 
The winning team will receive the TAW Tournament Medal.

The goals of this tournament are: for everyone to have fun, to foster camaraderie & fellowship between TAW members from different divisions, and to establish a tradition in TAW. It is the intention of Central Command to host these tournaments twice a year, with different games possible each time and different project managers each time from throughout the divisions to keep it fresh and exciting.
