Now try it with $25,000 on the line. Welcome to the XSN Sports World Championship, the most competitive and intense online sports tournament in the history of console video games. The XSN Sports World Championship will be held Feb. 11?12, 2004 in Los Angeles.

If I had all those game's I would quit my job and go for it.....wait that's if I didn't have a car payment, rent payment, Electrical bill, water bill, houseboat bill...er skip that last one, um, credit card bill, you know what I'm sayin' :wink:
thats crazy i would take like a $1000-$5000 top spin worldwide tournament its all a marketing ploy to make u get all the games and spend the rest of ur life playing them to get good to try to win a prize that would half anyways b/c of taxes... what would be cool is if we get people to chip in like 5-10 bucks and play a tournament for money :twisted:
woah imagine if everyone in the tournament paypal'd tris10 a $5 entrance fee for a special tournament. Thats over $300 for the winner.....but i'm sure the administrators will say its all for farts and giggles..which is true. just a wild idea 8)
Or you could at least distribute the cash between the top 3. Maybe an end of the year tourney. After all 9 tourneys are done so you wouldn't have anyone surprise a # 1 or #2 seed early in the tourney. After the semis are finished you have the losers in the semis play eachother for 3rd place. Or you could go crazy and do a double elimination tourney. Either way it should definitely be a 3 out of 5 sets tournament. The end all be all of Topspin tournaments. My brother wanted to do something similar to this and dedicate a website to it, but it just never got off the ground. Too busy with different things. 64 entries at $5 a pop=$320 Winner $180 2nd place $90 3rd place $50
tourney Ya man me too, i would be down for that. What's 5 bucks canadian, onlike 3.50 American? ....lol.
Don't mean to burst a bubble or sound like a spoil sport. But I enjoy playing you guys for the enjoyment and the friendships. Put money on it and I'm out!
Well, is this another tournament where you have to be 18 or older to participate. I think you should be able to be younger than that and have to have parental supervisio, or notices agreeing you can play.
no its not that, just all the other official microsoft tournaments such as for FEVER, and Inside Pitch, and NCAA I saw on the website that you had to be 18 or older, not like it mattered then cuz I wasn't on LIVE yet, but it will bother me now that I have liev if that so happens to be the case.
Man, $1000-$5000 just to play a videogame. Think of the pressure during the finals match. I don't think I would be able to get my hands to stop shaking. But, it would be fun.
