* The enforcement of game, tournament and cup regulations.

Since hearing about Quake Live I knew the potential this game has. I played in the closed beta for long while, am running www.EUQL.org (check out our latest Ask Cypher feature :) ), and am taking a large role in Multiplay's upcoming online and LAN support of Quake Live. As part of the UKESA I will be pushing them hard to provide top quality support of Quake Live.

I want to see a decent prize fund, LAN finals whenever possible with proper media coverage, and for organisations to have more than 1 dueller. I want to see CTF / TDM in the Championship division (i.e. where there is prize money and adequate coverage), the inclusion of EU duellers whenever possible to increase the competitivity of the league, all with the betterment of the UK and wider gaming / QL scene in mind.

Tonight there will be an open discussion on QuadV for all willing nominee's hosted by Redeye.
