How to participate

On the day of the event (Dec 19th-20th) players would have to download the VOIP program Ventrilo from www.ventrilo.com and enter the provided IP and Port for the EVGA Gaming ventrilo where all the matches will be arranged.
Once a player enters the Ventrilo, they will be automatically put in a "waiting" channel with all other players awaiting placement in the event. An event moderator will quickly place them in an appropriate channel for whatever server they will be gaming in and provide them with the bookmark server IP/password so they can enter the match.
Play and have fun! It's as simple as that. Players are only required to play for one match in order to be entered in the final draw for the prizes.
Once you are done, you'll then have the option to either leave the event or move to a "Play Again" channel where another event moderator will place you in as many matches as you wish to play before the event closes.
