"Arena 77 is proud to announce that we will be holding an old school tournament.
The game of choice is none other than Quake 3! Offering over a R100 000 worth of prizes courtesy of Intel, Sapphire and ATI, assuring prizes up until 15th place"
"The event is geared for spectators and will be on the main stage in front of the grand stand and displayed on a large screen with shout casting too!
Please note though that only one match at a time will be shown on the screens out of every five played... You will understand when you get there, but we will obviously follow the big games."
"We are proud to announce that the Quake III tournament will see the ultimate winner of the rAge 2009 event being sent to DreamHack Winter event in Sweden. Not only will the top 15 players receive prizes from all our sponsors, the winner will fly to Sweden at the end of November and participate in the Quake Live tourney. The winner will be given a notebook on loan upon arrival in Sweden and with that a seat in the Open LAN along with a seat in the QuakeLive tourney. Thanks to AVG for sponsoring the trip over!"

EDIT: Just realised they can still sign up and play bots, which I suppose is good enough to learn the new maps.
