Counter-Strike 1.6 Tournament

Counter-Strike 1.6 (the version right before Source) is still going strong with Comcast sponsoring a $5,000 tournament that will be hosted at iGames centers around the U.S. 

The $5,000 Counter-Strike 1.6 Open Tournament presented by Comcast will
consist of team play, meaning it consists solely of 5-person team vs.
5-person team matches. Teams compete for cash prizes.

The $5,000 Counter-Strike 1.6 Open Tournament is a 2-day event held the
weekend of March 3 & 4. Day one shall be a double elimination LAN
tournament with a maximum of 8 teams at each of 8 participating centers
(64 team maximum). The 8 winners from each center's LAN tournaments
will advance to Day two, which is an online double elimination
tournament against other LAN winners.

This seems like a very good format, and I hope that a lot of future tournaments do this as well since it will encourage gaming centers to open in more and more cities.  More about the tournament...
