My fellow gamers, it is time to address the grueling do's and dont's of the Close Quarters Tournament.  A quick update for you all though...  We are still working on finding a location and setting a date.  We have several prospective places in mind and are just waiting to hear back from them.  As for the date, we are going to shoot for a Friday/Saturday in early to mid June.  Stay tuned for more info.

TEAMS AND EQUIPMENT

There are a few rules that teams need to follow to make this a good experience for everyone involved.  Failure to recognize these rules will result in disqualification.
  • Teams need to be composed of 4-5 players, however only 4 will play at a time (hence 4v4).
  • To maximize gaming and minimize confusion, each team needs to provide their own Xbox(s) with team member GTs. 
  • To qualify for league placement, all team members must have and active Xbox Live Gold Membership as well as a Bungie.net account. 
  • Teams will play with good sportsmanship or will forfeit their games, be subject to public ridicule, and go home with hanging heads. (this is a promise, not a threat. Play nicely)
SERVICES PROVIDED

L33t Str33t Media will be providing 4 TVs, 8 controllers, hardware for 4 Xbox's, and concessions.  Basically all you need to bring is your team and your Xbox(s).

Close Quarters

Fellow Gamers, I am pleased to bring you the first tournament hosted by L33t Str33t Media.  Close Quarters will be an exciting chance for us to launch our website and show you what we are all about.

Let me tell you what to expect. Close Quarters will be a tournament where all the teams meet at one location to compete.  The event will feature 4vs4 Halo: Reach.  Rounds will consist of 3 games, one game type chosen by either team on the map of their choice (no custom forge maps), and one standard Team Slayer game.  The victor of the Round will be determined best 2 out of 3 games.  The tournament will be single elimination, so come ready to dominate.

More info is on the way!! We are busy working out the logistics and will hit you with more updates as we go!
