Age of Empires Forums

The summer is nearly here, which generally gives a lot of our members more free time.

Age-Of-Empires.net are planning a Tournament starting in July  (date to be announced) and running through August, to find the best Age Of Empires 3 players.

The scenarios of each stage of the Tournament will be announced 2 weeks before the Tournament starts.

Express your interest to take part in the Age Of Empires 3 Tournament 2009 and further details on signing up will follow shortly.

 

By requiring an entrance fee for your tournament and advertising it here you are quite likely violating the terms of service for both the forum and the game. You can have a prize but you cannot charge a fee.

Thanks for the info. I was unaware that it might be violating any rules. The fee is simply a contribution to create the prize fund. No profit is to be made by Age-Of-Empires.net

We will look into this further. If you have any supporting info, please post a link.
