Event Details:

The event will consist of four skill divisions, Amateur (CEVO-A), Intermediate (CEVO-IM), Main (CEVO-M), and Professional (CEVO-P).

The Amateur Division (CEVO-A) is taking over where Project Gamer left off, so it's open to any team and FREE to all participants. It is divided into three conferences: Atlantic, Central, and Pacific. Teams will be participating for $250 in guaranteed cash. There will be one match per week in this division and the Match Deadline Day is Thursday of each week.

The amateur division is specially designed for new teams that are looking to get their feet wet in competitive play.

NOTE: Teams in this division are not eligible for free NationVoice ventrilo servers, may not reserve NuclearFallout game server, will be limited to eight disputed players per season, and will not be eligible for any yet-unannounced promotions for paid members.

Teams looking to move up to CEVO-Main within one or two seasons should play in CEVO-IM instead of CEVO-A in order to establish a strong record of competitive play, as acceptance into CEVO-M is application only


The Intermediate Division (CEVO-IM) is open to all teams. It is divided into three conferences: Atlantic, Central, and Pacific. Teams will be competing for $2,500 in guaranteed cash. There will be one match per week and the Match Deadline Day is Thursday of each week.

CEVO-IM is designed specifically for new and experienced teams seeking serious competitive play.


The Main Division (CEVO-M) is application only for teams that have not earned a spot from the previous CEVO season. It is divided into one national conference. CEVO-M showcases highly talented teams competing for $5,000 in guaranteed cash. There will be two matches per week with Match Deadline Days on Mondays and Thursdays.

The Main Division is reserved for only very highly-skilled and experienced teams seeking serious, near-professional competition.

Only teams that are registered in the Intermediate Division with a minimum of 5 players paid & ready on the roster will be able to submit a Main Division application. Teams will be invited to the Main Division based upon an assessment of the team history, roster composition, accomplishments, stability, past performance CEVO, past performance in other leagues and tournaments, and other similar criteria.
