I think this is unfair because almost all of the best players out there are under 18. For example, in snipers, toad, sli kontrakt, enl assassin, sheer, lansing, ms keira... are the top 6 and will not be able to play for a chance. It should at least be 13+ because kids will be home on summer break and most adults will be at work. This will make it much less of a challenge. If the tourney is open to a greater audience, it will be much more challenging in my opinion. (and i know i have a really good chance of getting in)

"If I'm not back in five minutes... just wait longer."

Where does it say you have to be 18?

More fine print!!!

The Tournament is open solely to Players who are legal residents of the 50 United States (except Maryland and Vermont), the District of Columbia or Canada and who are at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in their state/province of residence, whichever is greater, at the time of registration or tournament play, whichever is earlier. Void in MD, VT and where prohibited by law... Blah, blah, blah...

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

sorry man, but it's standard fare for nearly anything titled as a "contest" that the participants be 18 years or older. this is so that on a legal standpoint you are considered an adult and can enter into a "legal" agreement of any kind. what you can do is find an adult you know, and preferably trust considering there is a prize involved, and have them register for you. some contests out there stipulate that as long as your 13 or so you can participate with a lega gaurdians permission, but this is not one of those.

also try to remember that you are playing a game that is rated as M for mature, if your under 18 you do not fall under that definition irrigardles of how mature you are. it wouldn't make sense to market a contest to children that involves a game marketed towards aduts.

Your logic doesn't make any sense to me. I don't really see why there is an age restriction. I'm 15 so I can't participate in the challenge but you know what? I'll be playing Halo 2 anyway. I just won't be playing the H2 Challenge playlist. If they implemented an age restriction because of the maturity of the game then I don't see a point. On the other hand, if they implemented the age restriction because of legal issues, then I'm slightly less annoyed with it. I guess there's nothing I can do about it in the end so there's no point in complaining.
