While on the subject of younger people and videogames, the CPL has just announced that starting in 2001 you must be 17yrs old to compete in their tournaments. (Currently its 15). There is also a forum post about this by Angel Munoz. Here ya go:

The CPL announced that commencing on January 1, 2001, all competitors of CPL tournaments that feature ESRB Mature (M) rated games, must be at least 17 years of age. ...the CPL will not allow anyone under the age of 17 to enter an M-rated game tournament, and will require that a verifiable proof-of-age document (i.e. driver's license, birth certificate, etc.) is presented upon check-in. The CPL also announced that it will launch wide-scale tournaments featuring games with a more general rating, therefore allowing all family members over the age of six participation in the CPL world-class tournaments and events.
That last part = $1million pokemon adventure tournament in 2002!. Lastly, while on the topic of tournaments, The Euro championships have concluded with Russia defeating Sweden. You can read some coverage here, and see the demos here.

    Get a load of this:

    Just grabbed a quick word with Xenon - he feels that Russia were very lucky - and the only reason that they lost on dm7 was cos of lucky spawn as one of the russian guys grabbed a plasma gun and killed 3 of them, causing them to lose by 2!!!

    The Russian guy just respawned and gunned down three of them right off the bat. (Keep in mind that it was a team DM not just free for all) If this is just a luck then I have no ides what skills is. If I was Xenon I'd keep my mouth shut about this. Anyway, these are my two cents on this matter.
