The event is over and the review, film and reports will follow in due course, until then we'll leave this info page live so that people can see what was on offer.

It was good to see clans [inphinity-esports] (aka 4Kings), [erm], [VETS], and [ARSES] do well in the main tournaments, and compliments to the finalists in the Superbike tournament and the winner Smooth. There's some details about the event on this web page but the best idea is to watch the official film of the event. This is in 2 sizes to accomodate both broadband and modem powereed players. It's still quite a size but we think you'll find its well worth the wait.

Thanks to everyone who attended, our sponsors, and the RoWeb Crew (staff). Next event will be in early October - stay tuned to this website for more news over the coming weeks.

For this event there were 5 main tournaments with major prizes including £1,000 cash, VIP Paddock passes to Brands Hatch, Games, T-Shirts and much much more.

There was also plenty of other game servers running to provide to support to all official tournaments and just about any game people wanted to play.

The schedule was met and we successfully completed all 5 official tournaments.

RoWeb ran its own tournament rule and prize award system. The main principle is to ensure fairness and a level playing field and you should expect official tournies to insist on minimum modification of the games default settings.

An overview of the tournaments run is listed below.
