If you’re planning to attend Warfactory 2008, please sign up today!

Tournament events are expensive to run and require a lot of planning.  For this event in particular, we know that a LOT more people are planning to attend than have signed up.  While it may seem easier to you to wait, without knowing how many people to plan for we will begin downsize to save the expense of unused equipment.

What this means is simple.  First, there are fewer seats so you may arrive to find there’s no room left at the event.  Second, with a combined total of $4000 in cash and prizes for our tournaments and perhaps $2000 more in great swag from Computer Geeks, FPS Group, Bawls, Thermaltake, and more, you stand the chance of missing out.

As additional incentive to pre-register, here’s our offer to you:

Signup online:

Receive ONE door prize ticket

Signup and Pre-Pay:

Receive TWO door prize tickets

Signup and Pre-Pay YOUR ENTIRE TEAM
(CS OR COD4 ONLY)

Receive THREE door prize tickets!!!

If you remember previous events, realize that we always give away a “Grand Door Prize”.  Right now, items are work $250 or more.  We want to have the best event possible and knowing who’s coming will ensure that we can do just that.  Pre-paying also saves you $10 off the at-the-door price, so hey … it’s a win-win for everyone!

Click here to sign up now or follow the “quick sign up” instructions you see in the previous post!  We look forward to seeing you on the 25th!

FPS Group, Computer Power User, UMSL, and others are joining us daily to make this a fantastic Midwest event.  We also have just returned from helping run ESWC at NVISION a couple weeks ago, so our skills are sharp.  Running events for many hundreds of the best competitors from around the world was a blast; in the process we have earned national and international respect for our ability to administer gaming events.

We have PLENTY of space for this event and will open the gates for ~200 users.  CONSOLE AND PC gamers alike are welcome to attend … this is 100% BYOC (Computer or Console).  Details will be provided on each registration page.

Thanks everyone … let’s make this yet another fun and competitive gaming event!

IT Enterprises
4633 World Parkway Circle
St. Louis, MO 63134

Details are pending, but our goal is to host events for CS 1.6, CS:S, Quake, and venture more formally into the Console gaming arena.  Prizes and specific details will be coming within 1-2 months,  but here’s what we need from you:

• E-mail or post in our forums with your interests for tournaments.
• Contact us if you’re interested in volunteering to work at the event.
• Spread the word!

Remember, our events are YOUR events.  We have a long-standing legacy of both solid competition and fun for those who merely want to come and game.  Feel free to e-mail or post your questions!  We can’t wait to get back to doing what we love most – running fantastic events.
