    Hi

    Yes. No cash prizes for this year's CG and SNG. I guess this decision was made because PA believes in getting people involved in the games is more important than winning.

    IMO, it's a good move as this will clearly reflect those taking part in this tournament because of passion, and not for monetary rewards.

    This year's CG also allows NATIONAL PLAYERS and FOREIGNERS, subject to a cap of course. Let's see how many of them can be bothered to take part in this tournament with no financial rewards. Haha! Oh ya, and not forgetting the coaches too.

    I have a feeling this year's tournament standard will drop quite alot.

    Haha. There has always been one sponsor for Inter con, PA!

    Anyway, just for you guy's info, this year's tournament will see teams having to pay registration fees of $180 or $160 (If any players are passion card holder) <-- damn lame!
