This is not a LAN event - This is an ONLINE EVENTto all.
Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and girls! PAF has come forward to offer you all a once in a lifetime opportunity. Now, we know what you’re thinking: “PAF got nothing to offer me”. Well let me tell you just how wrong you are!
PAF is planning it’s first ever Day o’ Frag Counter-Strike Tournament! That’s right, a CS Tournament! But not just any tournament, this is a ONE-DAY tournament, to be held on March 1st, 2003. The whole thing will begin at 2pm EST / 11am PST, and will wrap up more than 10 hours later! How are we going to do this? Nuclear Fallout has graciously donated 2 extra servers to this amazing event. 10 hours of CS battling on 4 servers! If you’re not drooling by now, you soon will be.
Not only does the winning team walk away with the pride of being the first ever PAF DoF champions, Nuclear Fallout will be donating 100% free of charge one CS server to the winning team for a whole 2, not 1, but 2 months! You didn’t think we’d let you walk away prize-less, did you? There are cash and gift prizes as well!
Now you may be saying: “What do I have to pay to get a chance at this amazing offer?” Well I’ll tell yah! A mere 10 buck registration fee for your entire team! That's right, 1 leader, 4 players and 2 subs (alternates) split that huge entrance fee of $10.00. Thats less than $1.50 per person!!
Ok, so take a minute to close your jaw and wipe away the drool. You’re going to need to meet some requirements in order to join. First of all, you need a team leader. This leader will have to round up four of his best players to take part in the matches. Each team is also permitted to have two subs standing by in case of emergency. This makes up to seven members, with any five playing at once, but if you feel like taking on all odds, and want to sign up less than that, by all means, we aren’t going to stop you.
So get your team together, and sign them up ASAP. There are only 32 team slots available, so hurry before they fill up.
But wait, there’s more! Each round will be played first team to eleven format on one pre-chosen map. However, the championship map will be best of three maps. The championship maps are a special surprise; A map pack will be released that contains any custom maps for the DoF tourney.
To register your team, please visit the Day o’ Frag Registration Section. For map names, game play or server info; please refer to the Info Section.

AoWC provides game servers for many games, including games that are based off of Valves main engine Half Life. AoWC has been around hosting game servers as a business for over 2 years now, and has over 400 game servers hosted. They have made there name, by providing High Performance game servers, and having great Technical Support.
They also are known to give back to the gaming community, by sponsoring teams like TAU, TEC, and GirlzClan (www.girlzclan.com). AoWC understands that with out competing teams like the teams they sponsor, there wouldn’t be much of a market for game servers. www.artofwarcentral.com has game servers located in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, and San Jose, so this way all teams can choose which location is better for them for ping.
Valve is an entertainment software company founded in 1996 by Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington and based in Kirkland, Washington. Valve's debut product, Half-Life, released in November, 1998, has won more than 50 Game of the Year honors worldwide and has been called "a smash hit" by the Wall Street Journal. Half-Life was named "Best PC Game Ever" in the November 1999 issue of PC Gamer, the world's best-selling PC games magazine. Half-Life is published by Sierra Studios.
Today, Valve comprises over 50 of the industry's leading artists, programmers, and writers. In the company's six-year history, it has risen from "unlikely new entry" to industry leader - producing a string of best-selling, critically-acclaimed PC entertainment products.
These 2 business have teamed together To provide Content Servers for Steam beta 2.0, which is the official and only source to beta test CS 1.6.
Steam (http://steampowered.com) is a broadband business platform for direct software delivery and content management. At its core, Steam is a distributed file system and shared set of technology components that can be implemented into any software application.
With Steam, developers are given integrated tools for direct-content publishing, flexible billing, ensured-version control, anti-cheating, anti-piracy, and more.
Steam consumers enjoy the benefit of starting their favorite applications within minutes of confirming their purchase. They can access their applications from any PC. They are no longer challenged to find the latest updates for these applications. And they no longer need to wonder if their device drivers are compatible with the latest software.
AoWC sees this as great and long relationship with valve, steam and www.artofwarcentral.com,
The Counter-Strike and Team Fortress communities have maxed out the Steam
2.0 beta servers, resulting in the temporarily suspension of admission to the beta as more content servers are put online. The current Steam content servers offer over 500 megabits of bandwidth, all of which the community is consuming right now.
Anyone interested in hosting a Steam content server should email biz (Content server requirements can be found at www.steampowered.com)
STEAM 2.0
STEAM version 2.0 has been released. Valve's content delivery system which features CS 1.6 beta Download it from us now.
