When MLG announced the cities and dates for the 2007 Pro Circuit, we told you the information was merely the first wave of explosive news for the year. Today MLG eagerly unleashes another aspect of its 2007 plans: Rainbow Six Vegas has officially joined the Pro Circuit roster. The news that MLG added Rainbow Six Vegas to its Online Tourneys lineup was met with great praise from the tactical shooter’s community; MLG is excited to add such an enthusiastic group of players and a great title to its Pro Circuit for 2007.MLG Charlotte Rainbow Six Vegas RegistrationRegistration Opens – March 8 at 7:00 pm EST Passes will be available in the MLG Store Tournament Capacity – 64 four-person teams Team Pass Price - $160 (covers entire four-person team) Click here for Hotel and Venue Information Important Rainbow Six Vegas Pro Circuit Info1.

Since Rainbow Six Vegas will soon debut with MLG’s Online Tourneys, the same process will be used for this title in 2007. Pro Circuit points are worth more than Online Tourney points. However, since 2007 is the rookie campaign for Rainbow Six Vegas, no previous Pro Circuit points come into play for the first event in Charlotte, meaning the first rounds of Online Tourneys will play a significant role in a team’s seed for Charlotte. After the first event, Rainbow Six Vegas’ seeding system will function in the same way as Halo 2: - One 2007 Pro Circuit point is worth more than any amount of Online Tournament points. - All players with Online Tournament points will be seeded above all players who do not have points of any kind. The players with the most Online Tournament points will be seeded above the players with fewer Online Tournament points. In addition to the added importance to the first wave of Online Tourneys for Rainbow Six Vegas, MLG will reserve an MLG Charlotte Team Pass for the Top 8 teams from the Online Tourney. Teams can only receive one pass, even if they appear in the top ranks of more than one tournament.
