Due to some confusion over these leagues, we are delaying the start of both leagues for one week so we can get more people signed up.
Allow us to answer some concerns about these leagues:
Are these national leagues? Is this like the previous Gears of War 2 and Halo 3 Leagues?
No. These are local, Nashville leagues that The Score of Cool Springs operates. We run the leagues and we give the prizes, which are in-store credit for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.
So how does this work exactly?
Get a partner, or we'll match you with one, and compete as a two-person team against other two-person teams in Nashville. You'll have one match a week as you try to amass the best record you can and get into the playoffs for your league.
Each league has a West and East division (which we assign) as well as a Regular Season MVP, voted on by every player in the league as well as Score staff. Good times!
What if there's a great team in the league that we know we can't beat?
Just like in sports, all that matters is getting into the playoffs. Then, anything can happen! (Ask the Titans.)
Really, it's all about having fun and being part of a group. This isn't MLG. This is for everyone.
I don't have $29.99 to be in the league.
Then bring any used Xbox 360 game (just not any sports game) and get into either the Halo Wars or Call of Duty 4 League for just $6.
But I want to be in both leagues, not just one.
Then bring 2 used Xbox 360 games and get into both leagues for $6 each. Or, better yet, bring 3 used Xbox 360 games and get into both leagues FOR FREE.
Will I get ScorePoints for being in these leagues?
Definitely. You'll get 2 ScorePoints for each win, and 1 ScorePoint for each loss, that you accumulate during the leagues.
When are these leagues again?
Call of Duty League is each Monday in March and April, while the Halo Wars League is each Tuesday in March and April. Both begin next week.
What if I'm busy on those days?
We will be flexible in scheduling matches for each week, even using Sunday afternoons for matches as necessary to accommodate busy spring schedules.
What if the leagues don't get more people in them than they have now?
We'll cancel them and try again to do local gaming leagues as we get closer to the summer.
When is the deadline to sign up?
Sunday, March 15, by 4 PM Central. You have to sign up in-store at The Score of Cool Springs - it can't be done online.
Is there really any excuse not to be part of these leagues?
No! :) They're great fun and allow you to meet other gamers who like COD4 and Halo Wars, as well as compete for great prizes!
Email us with any other questions, and hope to see you in one or both of the Spring leagues at The Score!
