CEVO Americas Army Season 2 - Registration Opens - $2,500 Prize Pool

CEVO is excited to announce the opening of registration for the next season of Americas Army! Season 2 features $2,500 in guaranteed cash and prizes for teams competing across the various skill divisions.

Following our discussions at the last town hall meeting, CEVO has decided to make the Amateur Division FREE to participate in while keeping the Professional Division pay-to-play.

Registration for CEVO Americas Army Season 2 is open until Sunday, December 2nd at midnight PST.

How To Register:

All players will need to a personal CEVO user account to participate in CEVO events. If you do not already have one, click "register now" under the CEVO Members section of the website and follow the instructions.

Team Captains:

The Team Captain or Manager is responsible for registering their team for the event. Captains who have already created a team for another CEVO Americas Army event do not need to create a new team - you can simply join this event with your current team. To sign your current team up for this event, login to your personal user account then go to "teams"->"view my teams" (or click "Manage My Teams" on the main account page). Click on the "manage" link corresponding to your team and then click "Sign Team Up for a CEVO Event".

If you are a Team Captain needing to create a team, login to your personal user account then go to "teams"->"create a team" (or click "Create a Team" on the main account page).

Once the team is created/registered for the event, each team member may join the roster by logging into their personal user account on the website and clicking “Join A Roster”.

Team Players:

In order to join a roster, your team captain must have already registered your team for this event. Once that is done, to join the roster, login to your personal user account and click "teams"->"Join a Roster" (or simply click "Join a Roster" on the main account page).

On the Join Roster page, choose this event from the drop-down menu, then type all or part of the team name and click "Find Team". When the search finishes, click the "join" button corresponding to your team.

When you join a roster for a paid event, if you have not already paid your event membership fee, you will be prompted for payment. CEVO accepts VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, e-Check, or PayPal payments. All online payments are processed through PayPal. You do not need to have a PayPal account to pay with a credit card through PayPal. If you would like to pay with a mony order, please contact CEVO support for instructions.

To pay for a teammate’s account, please do so by logging into their personal account, or contact support for help.

Paying in Advance:

Players wishing to pay their event membership fee prior to joining a roster may do so at any time. Simply log into your personal user account and choose "join event" from the menu, or click "Register for an Event" on the main account page. From there you may choose the desired game and event from the options listed. Once your payment has been processed, you may join a roster any time prior to the start of the season as well as during roster unlock periods once the season has started.

Event Details:

The event will consist of two skill divisions, Amateur (CEVO-A) and Professional (CEVO-P).

The Amateur Division (CEVO-A) is open to any team and FREE to all participants. It is divided into three conferences: Atlantic, Central, and Pacific. Teams will be participating for sponsored prizes. There will be one match per week in this division and the Match Deadline Day is Thursday of each week.

CEVO-A is designed specifically for new and experienced teams seeking serious competitive play.

NOTE: Teams in this division are not eligible for free NationvVoice ventrilo servers, may not reserve NuclearFallout game server, will be limited to eight disputed players per season, and will not be eligible for any yet-unannounced promotions for paid members.

The Professional Division (CEVO-P) will host the 16 most talented teams in North America, as determined by our Professional Placement Tournament or earned incumbancy from the previous season of CEVO-P. The Professional Division has only one National Region. Teams will be competing for a whopping $2,500.00 in guaranteed cash! Pro teams will play two matches per week on Monday and Thursday nights.

For players in the professional division the regular event membership fee for Season 2 is $25 USD per player. However, any player who registers by 11:59 PM PT Friday, November 16th will receive a discounted early bird rate of only $20 USD. Players may register for Season 2 without already being on a team.

Professional teams will be able to reserve premium quality game servers for their matches, courtesy of NuclearFallout, and will also be eligible for a FREE NationVoice ventrilo server!

More details on the Pro Placement Tournament will be announced soon.

Format Change - Play to Win:

We listen! After talking with players, managers, and fans and running a poll, we have observed an overwhelming majority in favor of "play-to-win" scoring format. Beginning with Season 2, matches will now end when either team reaches 8 rounds won. All matches should be reported as "8-X" where X is the number of rounds the opposing team had at the time of victory. Matches going into overtime should be reported 8-7 in favor of the team who won overtime.

Playing to win will help with the following...

- Cut down on teams leaving the server before the match is officially over
- Make for faster and more intense matches.

NOTE:
Teams will have an equal number of home/away games.

CEVO Support:

For any help, questions or assistance please contact CEVO Support. We are available at http://support.cevo.com and on Ventrilo at texas.cevo.nationvoice.com port 4000.

We’re looking forward to another exciting season. Remember to check our website regularly for current registration and event updates.

CEVO would like to thank Layered Technologies (enterprise server solutions), NationVoice Communications (top quality ventrilo servers and service), and NuclearFallout Enterprises, Inc. (premium competition game servers) for their support of Americas Army Season 2.
