Lets hammer out a plan for a PG Tourney. Its something you guys have been asking for a while and im finally convinced it would be fun :P

HARDWARE

XBOX - 4 Consoles - 8 Controllers
PS3 - 4 Consoles - 8 Controllers
PC - 8 rigs
Displays (Shared) - 8 Plus (if possible) a projector
Camera :P - 1

WHO WILL PARTICIPATE

Since most of us have broadbands, im thinking a league like tourney with best teams/players from Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad (others cities welcome) facing off in a grand final over the internet. We might also make league games online depending on the number of people interested.

WHICH MACHINE?

The plan is to use PCs/360s for local matches and only using the PS3 for finals (i.e. online matches). A problem for us is PCs, people can bring their consoles to the spot easily but a PC is a whole diffferent story. any suggestions how we can do this? how about someone picking up pcs from the homes of guys who dont have their own transportation.

DID YOU SAY KARACHI LAHORE AND ISLAMABAD

Yes. There will basically be simultaneous PG meets in 3 cities with more people joining in via the internet. We intend the Tourney to be finished in a single day (i.e. the league games plus the finals).

WE STILL NEED A PLACE

This is the hardest part. We have some places in karachi, homes of some pg members etc but i fear we might have to rent out spaces in out cities. It would be great if members from all cities can visit thier local gaming zones and find out how much it will cost us to rent 10 or so PCs for 6 hours. We can connect the consoles to the pc monitors, im sure those guys wont have a problem (atleast the guys at playdium karachi dont)

HEY YOU!

how about a show of that pg spirit! as you can see we need consoles, games and controllers! it would be great if we can find copies of PS3 cause thats a problem. 360 games are dime a dozen and there are plenty of controllers around. Please guys, if you can bring a console, controller, pc or a display, do come forward!


so this is just the blueprint. no date yet. suggestion welcome, what do you think?

TF2 FTW!

Means if I am from fsd, I can join the game online from my PC?

[USUF]

Yaar this online thing is a problem....Many of us have braodband, sure, But i don't think its the best idea. Ping/latency problem and shit....Hey...Lets get Adam to organize the Halo 3 Lan-party at "Wired-up gaming"...Im sure he can do it again and i'll participate gladly.

[radd]

yes, thats the idea.

[Hamza Resisted]

Yaar ! I knew it there would be a time when I would need to get a Gaming Rig and now is the time ! Anyways what games are we gonna play !

[grimr3aper]

hey man will there be fifa???i have a ps3 and fifa so count me in...btw radd awesome idea man...oooppsssieee...just read the title of the thread[slaps himself on the forehead]

[radd]

games are totally up to what the participants wanna do! right now, im more interested in how we are gonna pull this off. im thinking about nominating a guy from each city to coordinate with the members. we need to look at what we got in terms of hardware and space before proceeding further.

[grimr3aper]

yeah man that's true...i'm gonna go and check out local gamin cafes in pindi/isl.....my friend knows this dude who owns a gaming cafe in pindi....that could work eh!

[USUF]

I think it'll be hard for each champion to compete with the other across the country. Why not just name a COD4/Halo 3/ FIFA champion of each city and leave it there?
