The competition will utilize GGL’s
unique tournament platform which helps each gamer organize their entire gaming
life in one place. GGL will not only provide the commentary from the Resistance:
Retribution™ tournament action; but will allow gamers to organize their scores,
times and other statistics. Gamers can then share this information with their
friends or “frien-emies” (as GGL likes to call them) as well as organize their
own competitions.
To join the open ladder,
participants can log on to
www.RoadToRetribution.GGL.com and complete the online registration
form. Players may register as solo competitors or in teams of two. All players
must be legal residents of the U.S. or Canada and at least 13 years of age.
Tournament registration kicks off on March 18, 2009.
