| From:furyleague.com Auran Games, creators of the new free to play skill-based online competition "Fury League" (www.FuryLeague.com), today announced the breakdown of the $25,000 in cash prizes that will be won over the next few weeks. "We have established Fury League to be more like a sport than a traditional computer game," said Tony Hilliam, Auran CEO. "We want to encourage friendly rivalry and competition between players on a weekly basis rather than opting for larger more infrequent prizes that reward only the top few players. Fury League will offer Ladders with prizes every single week and to kick things off we are starting with two Cash Ladders with 1,000 individual prizes per Ladder." "We have created 10 prize brackets ensuring players at every skill level have a great chance of winning a prize," said Cameron McNeil, Fury Lead Designer. "It is also a great incentive to play a little more to get into a higher prize bracket. The prizes range from $250 for the 8 winners in the top bracket, down to $5 for the 288 winners in the 10th bracket. I don't know of any other totally free to enter competition that has offered this many cash prizes, and we are looking forward to seeing thousands of players in game in the coming weeks." "Even a player in 70th place will earn $25 cash," said Hilliam, "Chances are if he came 70th in the first week, he could repeat that performance and win another $25 the next week. Of course just like my weekly Saturday golf game, it's not really the money that counts, but rather the bragging rights amongst your mates that is more important." Entry into the special Fury League "Cash Ladders" is totally free and conditions of entry can be found at www.FuryLeague.com. The first Cash Ladder will kick off May 20 with players competing in 8 v 8 team Vortex. The second will begin on May 27 with players competing in the 4 v 4 Elimination game type. A minimum of 2,000 players completing at least 10 games each prior to the commencement of the first Ladder period is required to justify the prize pool. Insufficient entries will result in either postponement or cancellation of the Ladders. Players can create their free account or log on to their old Fury account before May 20 to ensure a good level of competition for the cash prizes. All players begin with all abilities and 10,000 Fury Gold to spend on the armor of their choice, so it is a level playing field from the very start. |
