World Cup Online Tournament with Prizes from EA!!

Fellas,

I've been contacted by an EA representative in Canada and asked to start an online FIFA 09 tournament for the members of our site. In return for setting up the tournament, EA will be providing 6 (3 per player) autographed, post card size photos of 2 LA Galaxy players (not Becks or Donovan..sorry) to give to the winner. If this goes well and we generate a good amount of interest they are willing to offer better prizes in the future.

Of course this is an effort to promote the game to our members and staff at OS. With that being said, I did make it a point to my contact to let him know that while we/I have no problem at all promoting the game, we would like to have a representative visit our forum regularly.

I explained to him that we have at least one representative from EA visiting and posting in our forums for every other game that they produce and that it was disappointing that no one from FIFA posts.

I further explained the passion of the members for the game and made it very clear to him that this board was NOTHING like the "bloodbath" that are the EA boards.

He understands the importance of this and realizes how helpful it can be and is of course looking into it. What else can he say at this point?

With that being said, I will keep my word to him and get this started. What I would like to do is start a new tournament in World Cup style with International Teams of course. XBOX 360

We all know that the selection of International Teams in FIFA could be better (Nigeria?!?!?!?) but let's do the best with what we have.

We can set it up to have group play or straight to the knockout round depending on how many players we get.

Please post if you are interested and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks.

I'm down even though I hate the Galaxy. It's a good way to get involved with FIFA.

I might be able to find a way to get Xbox Live to work where I'm at now, so put me down on the list.

I'll play. I'm upset that Nigeria isn't in the game anymore.

Re: World Cup Online Tournament with Prizes from EA!!

I'll play, if only to help show OS deserves more attention from the FIFA folks at EA. Can't say much about the "prize" however. Can I have a sharp stick in the eye instead?

But good call telling them they need to have someone come and visit us on a regular basis.
