The CPL has requested that holders of free passes that have no intention of participating in the summer event relinquish their spots. So far the CPL has received about two hundred cancellations, and now it's offering the free passes to those interested in participating in the event.

The free passes are for The Cyberathlete® Extreme Summer Championships 2005, primarily sponsored by Intel®, taking place July 6 to July 10 at the new Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas. The passes allow free access to the event for three days and can be upgraded to full five-day spectator passes at the event for only $20.

People signing up for these spectator passes cannot bring computers to the event and cannot participate in any of the CPL official tournaments. The passes do allow access to the workshops, the spectator area, the large exhibition area, and participation in the mini-tournaments held at sponsor booths in the exhibition area.
