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

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

old-fashioned USA vs. Europe competition," said David Chang, Executive
Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for

course so it will be great to see which players have perfected their
game and can come away the winners."
