Media Release
July 2nd, 2007

Adelaide – South Australia’s reputation for being on the cutting edge of IT is about to get a boost, with the largest ever gathering of Australian computer gamers set to take place at the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds early next year.

The Reloaded Festival 2008 will be held on January 26th and 27th 2008. It will be the biggest gaming event in Australian history and the largest LAN (local area network) Party event ever held in the southern hemisphere. Reloaded Festival 2008 will feature PC and console gaming tournaments, anime displays and competitions, a digital art competition, tabletop war gaming, card gaming and role playing games.

Approximately 1200 to 1500 people are expected to attend the Festival which will feature Australia’s largest CounterStrike: Source competition, with more than 200 people to compete for glory, honour and cold, hard cash.

The Reloaded 2008 Festival continues to build on the success of previous years, including the sell-out Reloaded 2 event of 2007, which attracted over 500 people to the St Clair Recreation Centre. Pictures and a report of that event can be found at: [COLOR=#444852]www.salanning.org[/COLOR].

Day 2: The finals. Top qualifiers will play their way through a double elimination tournament to reach the final, and the $3500 First prize and $1500 second prize. The finals will be broadcast to the rest of the event via a big screen.

Day 2: Teams eliminated on the first day, will go through a single elimination tournament to compete for the top $750 prize, with second receiving $250.

There will be other prizes for best new team, an encouragement award, top fragger and others.
