I think people in those states and countries that are ineligible should still be able to compete, and if they win, just refuse the prize money. I guess that would suck for them though. And Trahma, I don’t care if you get every mediocre and crappy movie a week before us! Just kidding, I love Australia–but not kidding about Transformers.

What would be cool would be a televised match between the different armed services representitives. Go Navy!

I am in Australia too – we have lots of rules and regs on competitions and permits and stuff – it is no surprise we cant get in on the US based comp. But we did get thr Transformers movie released a week ahead of the USA. So there.

@Total_Inhalation:

I sincerely doubt they could use IP addresses to do any disqualifications. Some college dorm rooms and apartment buildings use NAT and an internal network, meaning everyone on the same floor or in the same building could have the exact same public IP address. In the small school district in my town (not that any people play SupCom at public school), every last computer in the district has the same public IP address, that being the address of the gateway. Not to mention two roommates may both play SupCom, and the situations you described with dynamic IP’s. It’s HIGHLY unlikely they could justify disqualifying you based on IP address evidence alone. Additionally, I don’t think people who really were after the prize money would risk playing a game through a TOR node.

i was a beta tester for the original Beta and im in australia
i would of just liked some sort of note like if ur not in these countrys u will recive a beta key for FA and recive a direct2drive copy of FA when its released (about $50 US so @ least u get something)
least then its recived as a gift and not as cash sould fix any problems there might be between countrys/goverments

as for problems with cash rewards between countreys i dont know of any problems with rewards coming into australia i think its just a case of more paperwork/research to do it for very little reward (fewer players in these outer countrys)
