     Hi Jay,

     You play against teams across Canada in different Lan Centres.

     First place wins – cash prize, better seeds + free entry at the National Final
     Second place win – better seeds at the National Final

     It’s 20$ per person.

     Hope this helps,

     Tarik

     Unfortunately the registration had to be done by paypal only.

     Try to find someone / set-up your paypal account while watching our stream this afternoon in order to be able to compete for the next qualifier.

     cheers,
