Although over the past few months about 500 people have canceled their registration for the summer event because they were not able to attend; the Cyberathlete® Extreme Summer Championships 2005 taking place July 6 to July 10 , 2005 has reached record level registrations.

Currently, almost 7,000 people from 60 countries are registered to attend the summer event. The top ten countries are:

United States
Canada
Sweden
United Kingdom
Germany
Norway
Netherlands
China
Venezuela
Mexico

The online registration is now closed for the following tournaments:

Counter-Strike Source
Counter-Strike version 1.6
Day of Defeat
WarCraft 3
Halo 2 (Xbox)

The only tournament with a few available spots is Painkiller, which is the official game of the $1,000,000 CPL World Tour.

The BYOC area of the summer event will accommodate 1,600 computers and is completely full. The CPL has only 15 waiting-list spots left for the summer BYOC. Once these 15 spots are taken the waiting list will close.

**The CPL is offering 300 FREE Exhibit Only passes**

The Exhibit Only passes allow free access to the event for three days and can also be upgraded to full five-day spectator passes at the event's registration desk for $20.

People signing up for these free 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.
