About the United Cup 2008

Any player, beginners, amateurs, semi pro or pros alike can participate

in the 2008 United Cup. Players are allowed to participate in the

tournament with only one (1) character (the highest level character

per account) and can participate in this tournament up to 1,000 times.

The best score submitted will be the player's final score.

In the tournament, players will be asked whether they are from United

States or the European Union and then will be matched against their

own region, or players have the option to choose to represent either

the United States or the European Union if they have a preference.

Winners will be awarded prizes including the Team captain's name being

entered into the Shot Online Hall of Fame. In addition, each team

member will receive their choice of 2008 United Cup Clothing set.

"What better way to kick off the fall season than with a good

old-fashioned USA vs. Europe competition," said David Chang, Executive

Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for

Gamescampus.com. "We only recently unveiled the Pearl Green Island

course so it will be great to see which players have perfected their

game and can come away the winners."
