We are serious about promoting only the best game centers, and serious about having fun! Thats why we want the game centers that work hard to develop their image to join the iPGCL. If your game center meets these requirements, then join up and jump into some competitions.

Remember to use all the features of this website to promote your facility! There are many places for you to upload pictures of your center, pictures of events, and information about who you are. These will be randomly displayed on every page of the website for maximum exposure, but you'll be left out if you don't put your information up here! We've made it easy to do, and will be happy to help if you ask.

These requirements may change at any time, without notice. We reserve the right to accept, deny, or remove any game center for any reason.

Your primary business must be LAN gaming. We realize that there are many quality locations that offer gaming as an adjunct to other business such as PC repair, Internet access, etc. We exist to promote game centers in particular, so only game centers are allowed.

Your facility and website must be professional in appearance. Anything that looks like it was not professionally made and maintained, or is dirty, disorganized, out of date, confusing, lacking information, and so on does not represent the high standard the we wish to maintain.

You must have photos of your game center on your website, and upload current photos to the IPGCL site. We're trying to show off our game center here! Get to work!

Cheating of any kind will NOT be tolerated. If your center is caught cheating, you may be permanently removed from the iPGCL at the administrator's sole discretion. Because of this, you must make sure your players represent you well and are not trying to cheat or hack.

You must have a T1 (or comparable low-latency) Internet connection. Your connection must be capable of at least 1.54 megabits per second in both upload and download modes. This is to ensure that any ping issues will be less significant. Cable modems and the like are not capable of supporting multiple persons playing on the Internet while maintaining a quality experience for them all.

You must use facility computers during matches. The computers in your center should be more stable and secure than the average gamer's computer. You are responsible for ensuring that the systems have the proper versions of games, and are free of hacks or malware that could interfere with gaming matches.

You must have at least 20 computers in your facility. We don't want IPGCL events to tie up more than 25% of anyone's computers during events. Your computers must be able to play the latest games while providing a quality gameplay experience to your customers, so there are not complaints that hardware hindered competition.

You must be reachable in at least two ways. Methods of contact that we accept and that we prefer are (in order): Phone (required), Instant Messenger (AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, XFire), or IRC. We don't want to waste anyone's time waiting for contact.

You must stay active in the IPGCL. Your center must stay active in at least one competition every month, and post pictures of your facility and events. Use the features on this site! They are designed to help you promote your center and generate more business! We want to ensure a high level of activity to fuel competition.

You must legally own and have an official license for every game you will be competing in. Software piracy hurts us all - stay legal! The game developers deserve to be paid for their hard work.

You must abide by all rules and requests of the iPGCL staff. Nobody is here to argue, we are here to play games and have a great time! Lets keep everything honest and open.
