Its been crazy times recently in ET, with a second quakecon and CPC over in europe. All this activity has stired a name not seen in ET for a while.
I can confirm that uQ-Gaming are once again going to support Enemy Territory.
Applications for the new ET team are already open and talks with a few teams have already started.
But this time uQ.Gamings support goes further than just its own teams. They have put forward £300 (440Euros) as a prize fund for a cup within ET. Already some other sponsors have put forward interest in supporting an online event, and so we can expect more than just the cash by the time the cup starts.
Since we only got the support confirmed a few days ago, its still early in the planning stages, but so far i can confirm the following:
The prize pot is a minimum of £300 (440Euro)
The cup will most likely support 5v5
It is likely to be a 16 team cup (although we will try and hold qualifiers to include more teams)
It is likely to start within the next 3 weeks
#uQ.Gaming are looking for people who can offer support or admin experience for the cup, so if you can them please pm Munchies in irc.
If you are interested in the spot as one of the uQ.Gaming teams, pm Venom.
EDIT: I can also confirm that if this cup is a success, uQ have promised to put forward at least the same prize fund for repeat events, with the idea of making a seasonal cup.

The map list is looking like:
fueldump_te (we are looking at one of the new fueldump versions)
radar
supplydepot2
sw_goldrush
Frostbite
Brandorf_b4
but this list is by no means set in stone yet.
Any qualifiers are likely to be in the last week of september with the cup held the following 2 weeks.
The config is likely to be the same as the one they will use at CPC2.
Signups will work like this:
Signups are effectively open now, for one week (although we may well keep them open longer)
This IS NOT a 1st come 1st served basis.
We will look at how many teams want to participate in the cup and work out a way to let as many teams as possible qualify. We expect there to be a lot of teams wanting to play, and so some teams may end up dissapointed.
If your team is interested in taking part them please send an email to [email protected] with the following info:
1) Your team name
2) your irc channel
3) Your website
4) Your captains name (and preferably email too)
5) a clanbase link (or similar) to your clan would be helpful
6) anything else you can think of thats relavent
Roster info is not needed at this stage, all we need to know is that your team is interested in playing. Once we know how many teams we have we will organise some qualifiers and announce the teams.
We will try and give as many teams as possible the chance to qualify, but it is likely some teams will be seeded.
Teams will have at least one week from now to signup, and maybe longer depending on the interest we recieve.
