Hello all WHT-AU users,

I am going to be running a nationals for a few games in which will attract a large number of spectators and players. The nationals will be held in Melbourne across a few days and will include many games and people. I am wondering - how many people out there with businesses would consider sponsoring the event?

If the answer is a defient no, could you please explain why and how I could change the event to help sponsoring businesses/companies.

Note; This isn't a thread to gain sponsors, merely just research on how I can run it effectively and help the potential sponsors :>

Ashy,

So you want someone to sponsor the event with hardware and hosting? Is this an online national or an onsite one?

What games and if they're nationals, I presume there's a global component?

Hello Stu,

Thanks for the reply.

At the moment I am just looking at how many of people are interested on this forum.

It is a LAN qualifer, and LAN event in which will be run from Melbourne. The games consist of all the big leading titles of 2008 and from the past years. Counter Strike 1.6, Counter Strike Source and Call Of Duty 4 will be the main games.

These games are all played world wide

Thanks Ash

The games might be played worldwide but what are the winners qualifying for?

I guess my point is that getting sponsorship for a comp is only going to occur if it actually holds some credibility. If it's just a LAN there's a LOT less motivation to even bother looking at it.

They are playing to qualifiers in Australia for auto (flights + invite to 1st place each qualifier) and invites for 2nd and 3rd. Which means that the top teams will go through to play at Melbourne in which will offer prize money and product prizes - aswell as promotional gear and having a good weekend.

Do you have a URL which advertises this event?

Yes - www.sublimepcgear.com.au

The site will be done soon
