The camp will offer one-of-a-kind activities that will help promote the development of problem solving and hand/eye coordination skills. On-site instructors at RUaGamer will guide campers in playing age-appropriate, challenging games in a social environment. These activities will be augmented by martial arts training to build a sense of mind, body, and spirit at Karate International of Cary.  Campers will split their time between RUaGamer and Karate International of Cary during each day of camp.  The complete press release is available here.

For more information or to reserve a spot in the camps, please contact either RUaGamer (info@ruagamer.net - 919-238-9714) or Karate International of Cary (caryki@aol.com - 919-380-1082).  Space is limited and we expect this camp to fill up quickly.

I've been asked quite a few times over the last two months if we were going to offer monthly memberships. I've decided to try out something close to that, with the following monthly discount pricing packages. Both packages are valid for 30 days from the date of purchase. That means the benefits listed in the package stay in effect for 30 days. At the end of the 30 days your account automatically reverts back to the regular pricing structure, at which point you can "renew" the package simply by purchasing it again.

Silver Package -- $25

The Silver Package includes the following benefits:

• 1 Day Pass

• 3 Hours credited to your account

• $5 off Events** (Lock-In's, Tournaments, etc.)

• Per Hour Pricing of $5 (instead of the regular $6)

Gold Package -- $50

The Gold Package includes the following benefits:

• 2 Day Passes

• 3 Hours credited to your account

• $5 off Events** (Lock-In's, Tournaments, etc.)

• Per Hour Pricing of $4 (instead of the regular $6)

• Additional Day Passes for $15 each

** = League registration fees excluded

We are excited to partner with ggCircuit and iGames (www.igames.org) to offer a winter season for Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3 ODST in 2010.

Modern Warfare 2 4v4 League details:

Kicking off the season on February 2nd with preseason play and then every Tuesday night following that for 5 straight weeks. Matches will be assigned once teams have been checked in by their local game center and teams will be able to play 3 matches each week for a maximum of 15 league games. Teams must have 10 matches played to qualify for one of the top 8 spots in the league and advance to the Invitational Championship Tournament on March 20, 2010. By finishing in the top 8 during the league teams will receive not only just the top 8 seeds for the Invitational Championship Tournament but they will also receive a first round bye. The remaining 24 spots in the Invitational will be filled by teams from the Winter LAN event on March 13th, 2010.

$2500 for the Invitational Championship Tournament prize will be paid out as follows:

1st - $1000

2nd - $600

3rd - $400

4th - $300

5th - $200

Halo 3 ODST 4v4 League Details:

The Halo 3 ODST League operates the same way and has the same prize pool, except the league plays on Thursday nights starting February 18th with preseason play and then every Thursday night following that for 5 more weeks.

League Fees:

The price for each league is $25 per person. Players may play in both leagues if they wish. This fee covers league play and "time" in the LAN center during league matches. The LAN Tournament held prior to the Invitational Championship is *not* included in the League Fees. Entry for the LAN Tournament is an additional $20 per person.

Additional details as well as rules for the matches and LAN tournament are available at the ggCircuit.com website. You will need to register your team with ggCircuit in order to participate in the leagues. When you register you will select RUaGamer LLC as your local LAN center. Please make sure each player on your team registers with ggCircuit and that you add them to your team PRIOR to the first league night.

If you have questions or comments send email to info@ruagamer.net or post a question in the forum threads setup for each league (below).
