How It Works
The League
- Each Play the Gamer event is run once a week and venues can
choose the time and day that suits them.
- Each league is run over 12 weeks, there are 4 leagues per
year.
- The entrance fee for each gaming night is decided by the venue;
however a mandatory £1 is required from each player.
- Gamers compete on 3 of the top games: FIFA 11, Need for Speed
Shift and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
- Venues can choose one OR all three of the games.
- At the end of the 12 weeks there is a Regional Final.
- There will be 2 National Finals per year which the Regional
Finalists will attend.
Player Sign
Up
- Every player will be required to register for free on-line at
www.playthegamer.com. All players must have a log-in, otherwise
your scores will not be entered into the league.
- Link with us on facebook and get involved in the PTG social
network.
On the Night
- Each players contact details must be recorded so that your
details and scores can be input into the PTG site.
- The entrance fee for each gaming night is decided by the
venue.
- A mandatory £1 is required from each player to take part each
night which will be collected by the venue owner/night coordinator.
ALL of the mandatory £1's paid will go towards Regional and
National Prize Pool.
- An extra amount could be requested by the venue to add a more
competitive edge to each evening. This will run in a similar format
to the classic pub quiz: £ in a pint glass and the winner receives
the takings, making it more fun and competitive for those taking
part.
- A further £1 contribution could be requested by the venue to
the member of the group who is running the evening. This individual
will be responsible for taking the scores and maybe even supplying
the console. As a player you could encourage venues to sign up by
offering to run their PTG nights for them.
- Each game will have two or four players competing against each
other depending on the game, these players will be selected at
random.
- On each night there will be three events for each player to
take part in i.e. on a FIFA night, each player will play three
matches and have three scores recorded. The scoring is already
pre-set on each game and it is just a case of recording the correct
data after each individual match. The competitive nature of the
games will ensure that scoring is done in a fair and correct manner
(a task also controlled by a venue leader).
- At the end of the event, the venue needs to log onto their LiLi
account and submit each player's scores (an easy process that will
become second nature after the first few events). Once the scores
are uploaded, LiLi will process them and place them into a venue
league table. The table will be accessible to all players via the
Play the Gamer website.
- You can play the league at any level, even if you don't play
every PTG night; you still have a shot at the titles. . You can log
into the free Play the Gamer site and keep an eye on where you are
in the league and how you compare to the rest of the country.
Regional Finals

regionals depending on their average number of players
