IMPORTANT NOTICE
Pro, semi-pro and causal Counter-Strike teams can register for either tournament. No pre-qualification is required. Both tournaments will be held on high-end tournament computers. To manage the large amount of computers required, the registration for the Counter-Strike tournaments will close promptly on Monday, October 29, 2007. If the 64-spots for each tournament are not all taken by the close of the tournament registration, an adjustment in tournament size and cash prizes will be determined by the league. Registration spots are not secured until at least five-members of a team have registered online. The CPL will not hold spots, offer special considerations or give discounted passes to any team.
