Team Selection Process

Due to each tournament's limit of 64 teams, reserved spots for the online tournaments will be made for those teams that have at least one member who has a confirmed GeForce LAN at NVISION 08 ticket and complete team rosters. The remaining tournament spots for each game will be based on a random lottery for teams that have registered their entire team rosters for NVISION 08 by the close of registration on July 30th at 5:00pm EST. Not all registered teams are guaranteed an entry and a wait list will be created after the initial lottery. Wait list teams are highly encouraged to show up on the date specified, as it is not uncommon for a tournament to use waiting list teams for 20% or more of the first round matches.
