Next Event: 6/19/10

NTGA has partnered with DFW Games (http://dfwgames.net) to bring competitive Halo to a larger audience in the Metroplex. Our first event will be at A-Kon 2010. Let me preference this news by saying that we are aware that A-Kon is the same weekend as MLG Columbus. (June 4-6). Since this is not regular season NTGA event, no points will be earned. NTGA VI is still are next seasonal event (June 19th, 2010). This is an exciting opportunity for NTGA to grow to new heights.  

We will be running a walk up FFA tournament on Friday June 4th (Kind of like the Gamebattles Arcade). On Saturday June 5th we will be running a 2v2 tournament. Both tournaments will be use the NTGA rules which you can view by clicking the rules link on the left side of the page. We are going to be allowing free play while tournaments are not going on, as well as free play late into the night Friday and Saturday. The Halo tournaments are sponsored by the Vibras Five One Gaming Headset (http://www.track-scan.com/2/xbox-360-51-ch-gaming-headset.html).

I (Shadow) will be part of a panel on gaming communities on Friday June 4th from 6:45 - 7:45 PM. The panel is located inside the downtown Dallas Westin Hotel, specifically in the Houston C Meeting Room. I hope everyone can come and participate in that.

I hope to see everyone at this event who isn't heading out to Ohio for MLG. Just like NTGA V we will have the MLG HD stream up on a projector, so you don't have to miss any action from Columbus.
