Did any of you guys receive an invitation to the NVIDIA GEFORCE CHALLENGE qualification tournament which will be held in Germany, Bottrop? 2 days ago I received such an invitation but I couldn't find anyone else who also received one. Here are some details about the tournament: nvidiachallenge.com/Cheers!

The dutch top player Steffan has also got an invitation but apart from that I don't know anybody either. May I ask who you are that they sent you one as well? Did you win some NFS tournaments in the past?
I wish I could participate in this as I live only 10 km away from that location. I see there is a form on the website that everybody can fill out. Does that mean everybody can apply for a spot there?
And do you have any more information about these free-for-all online qualifiers that are mentioned on the site?

I have no idea why I got invited, I have a few good lap times on wrecord.com but apart from that I have no NFS achievements that worth mentioning. My best guess is that they invite people from different countries and I was the one they picked from Romania. I am sorry that you didn't get invited but I guess it worth the try to submit the registration form and see what happens. After I submitted it I received a confirmation message by email. I could provide you with the email address of the person who sent me the invitation so you can ask her if the tournament is open for everyone. I have already communicated with her a couple of times to ask for more details about the tournament. If you want the email address then email me on this address pmijoiu@yahoo.com and I will forward it to you. Do you happen to have any contact information of Steffan? If you do could you please send it to me by email? I do not have any information about the free-for-all online qualifiers.

Hi! By chance I found my invitation! They send it to my Hotmail address, which I dont use... Just sent the Registration Form... But I dont understand the structure of the Competition... Do we have to Qualify or we are in already? :S It seems that there is a Grand Final where 12 Players come from Online Qualifiers and the remaining 4 from a LAN Competition there... :S Dont get it... Also, we dont have Rules, which means we dont know about Cars and Tracks! :S I am guessing they will go with BMW GT2! :X We have to wait and see... Its going to be hard for me to prepare with such short notice... If you know anything, let me know! Thanks! Rogério

Hey,
I asked the same questions myself and for some of them I already have some answers:
- we were invited to participate in the qualifier tournament in Germany (costs covered by NVidia). the top 4 will go to the final tournament. I do not know when the online tournaments will take place, which will determine the other 12 finalists.
- they will release the rules by the end of this week and send them to us by email.
If you want to talk about it contact my on yahoo: pmijoiu@yahoo.com . Maybe we can train together once we get more details about the tournament.
Cheers! Paul

Event was moved to April 9th to 11th because too many people could not make it on such a short notice.
You have to register again to confirm your participation on the new date.
Unfortunately they still haven't published the tournament details.
I will write them an email trying to find out more about the tournament rules, you should do the same, maybe in this way they will publish the details sooner.

Hi! Yes, I got their eMail today... Already replyed to the Register eMail Address, sending my Data again anda saying I am available. I believe that now the 2nd Registration is thru eMail, since apparently there is no new Online Form. Let me know if you find anything! Thanks! Rogério

I registered using the form on the website and I got a response asking about my "gamer history" and that I am put on a waiting list to be considered if some of the players who got invitations can't come. So really everybody can sign up for this but the people who got invited by them come first.
