Hell, for an X850 even i'd consider entering the tourny.
QFE
Something available to everyone in the community, such as a "Post your screenshot" competition <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> 1 Entry per person though. Can be funny, active, beautiful or whatever. Final decision made by Devs on who gets what.
*Corrected atrocious spelling.
Ah yes 32bit pipelines, cant wait for the first proper 3Dmark scores should blow the socks off SLI.
/looks for the right color makups.....
Maybe you could give, say, 2 card to next season's major US league, australia league and european league? That way, the world is covered, and you are sure the tournaments will be organized right (CAL seems perfect from here, and I heard there's a nice euro league project coming soon :p). Plus, giving 6 "old" cards to a 8 players team would probably make some of them useless and ebay-ables. Giving 2 cards would fit most of the needs. Of course those leagues would stick an ATI logo somewhere on their page.

give this man a hand

So far tbh, people can't solve the "It should be international" element yet. North Americans playing on euro servers are at a disadvantage, Euro's playing on asian servers are at a disadvantage, and everyone playing on Aussie servers are at a disadvantage (Aussies included <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> ). This is the single largest stumbling block that people have had when they have approached me about this issue. And frankly having it be a NA/Euro/Aussie only tourney was not the original goal and isn't really an option.
There are still a few "teams" of people investigating different options but it really has stalled out over this one factor.
Now if only I could convince my wife to let me use the basement of our house and get everyone to come to Canada... The problem would be solved!!!
I vote we go down a different route and give them away to active members of the community. Go go FFT clan etc. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
East Coast vs Euro ping wise wouldn't be so bad
West vs Euro can be horrible with 200+ ping
East vs Aussie would be horrendous
West vs Aussie wouldn't be so bad.
International or not I guess it would depend if Flayra is willing to pay ship and handleing and what not just to send a video card to another country.
And the more you wait, the less those cards are attractive. :)
perhaps we can figure out someway to play NS via mail... That will solve these issues.
I would have suggested that had I been american. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
It's true though; multiple tourneys are harder to organise and distribution of the cards would be a nightmare. (Intra-clan arguements...)

Clans have more than 6 players... so only the 6 players who played the final match would get the cards ? What about the 2 (or more) others that alternativaly played the other matches ?
Plus, those cards are old enough to be "useless" to many players, so 2 cards per clan seemed fair to me.
Although TheAdj's suggestion seems even better. That'd probably seems "unfair" to a part of the rest of the world, but it would be easier to organize in a great way, and if that works and makes good marketing, maybe the rest of the world would get its own tournament later :)
Better yet, do a reverse raffle.....
Remove names until only 6 remain! Winners!
