We are officially one month away from Catacombz 11.0, and it's shaping up to be a fantastic event. At this time, we already have 38 attendees registered, and several more that are planning to attend. If you've been putting it off, you need to get signed up as soon as possible to secure your seat. Also, for those that are new to the site, please note that creating a user name on the site does NOT register you for Catacombz 11.0. You must first create an account and sign in, and then proceed to the "Event Registration" link on the right. From here, simply click the "Register for Catacombz 11.0" button to register for the event.

There's an open discussion in our forums about what tournaments you'd like to see at the event. The way it currently looks, we will have at least two tournaments, but maybe a third depending on support. The two we will likely have are as follows:

• Call of Duty 4 - 3on3 - Search & Destroy
• Warcraft 3 - 3on3 - 3 Corridors

All team assignments will be randomized in an effort to minimize team stacking. Rules for these matches will be established at the event. As for the 3rd tournament, we were thinking along the lines of something free for everyone, such as Trackmania or Armagetron. This is still being discussed, and we'll release more information as soon as it becomes available.

Our sponsors have came through for us quite well for this event, and for that, we are extremely grateful. Please give them your support! As of right now, we've received over $850 worth of merchandise that we'll be giving out at the event. In order to keep that air of mystery, I won't list the specifics of these items here. However, I will say that we've received some very cool stuff that should make several people pretty darn happy they came.

That's all for now!

Coming soon to a city near you...the LAN party rockin Southern Illinois since 1996 is back, this time with version 11.0. Registration is now officially open, and we would like to encourage everyone who is planning on attending to get signed up as soon as possible. Also, to those who registered and paid at last night's Mini-Combz event, the seatmap is now online and fully functional.

We are planning to have either 2 or 3 tournaments at this event, but in order to do so successfully, we need your input. We currently have an active thread in the Upcoming Events section of our forum discussing tournament possibilities, so please stop in there and tell us what you think. While there, feel free to discuss anything and everything you'd like to see at Catacombz 11.0. 

As you can see in the sponsor portion on the right side of this page, we've already got some fantastic sponsors supporting us for this event. Some have already sent some great swag that we'll be giving away at the event. Because of their appreciated support, we ask that you also support them. So please check out their websites, and see if anything tickles your fancy.

That's about all for now. The next Mini-Combz event will be on April 24, and we hope to see you there!
