uWink Holds Second Annual uWin "Live-Body" Tournament
Building upon the success of their 2001 Live-Body tournament in Reno, NV, touchscreen gaming company uWink is again teaming up with Coin-Op dart machine heavyweight Medalist Marketing Corp. to assemble an even larger tournament with increased cash prizes to award. Gamers from all over the country are gathering June 5-8, 2002 at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, NV, for a chance to take away one of the many cash prizes being offered ranging from $400.00 to $10,000.00.
The competition is open to the public and promises to be even more exciting than last year's with the increase in stakes from 2001's $2,500.00 grand prize to 2002's more imposing $10,000.00. Last year's competition saw hundreds of competitors progress through rounds of elimination until Berkeley, CA resident Jesse Sechak defeated Mikey Christian from La Habra, CA to become the $2,500.00 winner and first-ever uWin Champion.
For this years competition three games have been selected for match play: Kubis Gone Wild, Tri-Elevator Gone Wild and Pharaoh's Run. Each match is single elimination – the loser is out and the winner progresses to the next match. Players will receive three progression opportunities in the Qualifying Rounds and two progression opportunities in the Semi-Final Rounds. The Qualifying Round and Semi-Final Round schedules are flexible. Each will begin whenever 16 eligible players are ready. From each 16-player Qualifying Round, two players will advance to the Semi-Final Rounds. And, from each 16-player Semi-Final Round, two players will advance to the In The Money Showdown.
Sixty-four players will compete for $62,000.00 in total cash prizes. But only one person will walk away with the $10,000.00 first place cash prize.
