Ace in the Hole Challenge:
The CEVO "Ace in the hole" challenge is a new individual contest that will run for the duration of the tournament. The contest is open to any player who is able to record a pistol ace (5 kills in 1 round using ANY pistol) during an official match. Any player that is able to do this will have their names thrown into a draw at the end of the tournament for the "Ace in the hole Challenge" grand prize. If no players are able to pull off the required feat, the prize package will be carried over to our next tournament.
Winnings will be shipped free of charge. OCZ Technology products can be found online at OCZ Technology.
