Competitions - On Delayed CPL Prizes

Word from the CPL is that the CPL Registration page will begin accepting registrations next Wednesday at 4:00 PM EST for their upcoming Unreal Tournament event, scheduled for this summer in balmy Dallas, TX (this is a correction to this story, which originally said the sign-ups were to begin today--apologies for any confusion this may have caused). They have also announced that "the CPL World Championship Event scheduled for December 6-9, 2001 has changed the official tournament game to Counter-Strike." Meanwhile, the LANding Zone is looking for feedback on their plans to construct a LAN gaming center, asking folks to fill out their Lan Gaming Facility questionnaire. Finally, addressing the uncertain future of Razer (story and story), the sponsor still responsible for some hefty yet-to-be awarded prizes, The CPL has announced that if all else fails, they will award the missing prizes:

The CPL is aware that because of financial problems at kärna (the parent company of Razer) that the winners of the Babbage's CPL Counter-Strike tournament have not received their promised checks. The CPL is grateful to Razer for the support that they have kindly given the worldwide competitive gaming community since September of 1999 and hopes that the management of kärna is able to overcome their current situation.

The CPL wants the winners of the Babbage's CPL Counter-Strike tournament to be reassured that if payments are not received from kärna by Monday, April 2, 2001 the league will arrange for payments to be sent to the winners. In light of this situation, the CPL has changed its policy and now requires sponsors to deposit the entire amount of the prizes with the CPL's parent company, NewWorld.com, Inc., before an event is confirmed.
