| Counter-Strike 1.6 Tournament |
From www.nationalesports.com:
"The National E-Sports League will be offering Events/ Tournaments in various games nation wide throughout the season. The Events will be divided into regions utilizing NEL servers and league website.
The NEL and participating Arenas will be hosting a $30,000 "Kick Off" tournament on 5/7 and 5/8.
This is a regional tournament with a national purse of at least $30,000.
The logistics are as follows:
Only official NEL arenas will be able to participate. Arenas have the option not to take part in the events if scheduling conflicts arise.
The entire gaming community is invited to compete. Players do not have to be part of a NEL/Arena league team. This greatly increases the number of players and allows for greater community exposure to the league and the participating LAN centers.
The event will start with player/team registration on the NEL website. Arenas will be limited to the number of teams their facility can accommodate. The number of teams each center will host must be submitted to NEL before registration for that ARENA can take place.
Each Arena may use the NEL bracket and event scheduling features of the NEL website to organize and schedule the matches. Each center will have competition on the first day to determine which teams will move onto the second day of competition and regional championship. The first day of competition will be entirely held within each LAN center.
The second day will determine the regional champion. The matches will be a battle between the best teams from each center, competing over NELs’ network of servers. The bracket/scheduling features will allow each center to track and follow their teams and the competition as the Tournament progresses towards the championship.
Each region will have one champion.
The prizes for each region will be determined by the number of participating Arenas and the number of players per region.
The guaranteed national purse of $30,000.00 to be divided between the regions accordingly should only grow as teams and centers register.
The Event schedules, player requirements, registration and purse allocation per region will be posted on the NEL website."
NOTICE: This event will be hosted at our Cary Towne Center location. If 8 or more teams register, we will host the Tournament at both Gamefrog locations.

| Counter-Strike [1.6] : 5v5 Tournament [02.12.05] |
This will be a 5-VS-5 event taking place in the Cary Towne Center location ONLY. If you've only ever been to the Hope Valley location, take this opportunity to round up your friends and check out our newest location in Cary Towne Center (we're right across the hallway from EB Games!)
For further information, including a full list of rules and prizes, please see our Tournaments page.
NOTICE: This event has been changed. This was originally scheduled to be a CS:Source Tourney, but due to glitches in the competetive maps, we were forced to move back to 1.6. |
| |
| New Space for Cary Towne Center Location [02.02.05] |
That's right... we've moved again! But fear not, dear gamers, for we haven't gone far. Our Cary Towne Center location is actually still inside the mall. In fact, it's no more than 100 feet from where we used to be: this isn't so much a "move" as it is an "upgrade."
Say goodbye to the bland old white walls and beige carpet and "HELLO!" to our new look: an almost entirely black room (with the usual green GameFrog motif goin' on) to reduce screen glare and provide a comfier, cozier place to sit back with friends and enjoy a day of competitive gaming. We're still conveniently close to EB Games and we're even right next to the Food Court so's you've got a place to step away and chow down when the action gets to be too much!
We could describe how cool the new space looks 'til our faces turn blue, and although the new pics we've uploaded do a decent job of getting the image across... well, you'll just have to stop by and see for yourself just how awesome this new space is! |
| |
| Madden 2005 SuperBowl Tournament [02.05.05] |

This will take place on the Playstation 2 system ONLY, but will be held at both GFC locations (Durham and Cary), so feel free to sign up at either one. Please remember, though, that the location you turn in your Tournament Sign-Up Form at will be the location you'll be expected to compete at!
For further information, including a detailed list of rules and prizes, please see our Tournaments page. |

| New Hours for GFC: HOPE VALLEY Location |
Our location in Durham (on Hope Valley road) will be changing its hours after the first of the new year. These will only be effective while standard-calendar public schools are in session. The new hours are as follows:
Monday-Thursday: 12pm (noon) - 10pm
