The winning clan (team of four), after fighting to the top spot in a 32-team, double-elimination qualifier, will earn an all-expenses paid trip to Call of Duty XP in Los Angeles and the right to throw down against gamers from around the world in an unprecedented $1 million Call of Duty tournament sponsored by Xbox 360®. Also on tap at this one-of-a-kind event is the worldwide reveal of Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3’s highly-anticipated multiplayer mode including first hands on play with it for all attendees, and numerous other Call of Duty fan experiences.

The UK qualifying event will be held at the Sound Nightclub in London’s Leicester Square, hosted and organised by Multiplay, famous for running the UK’s largest gaming events such as the Insomnia series. Registration is open immediately at www.CODUKChampionships.co.uk

The UK qualifying event will be played using Call of Duty®: Black Ops, the UK’s best selling game ever. Activision’s new Call of Duty® Elite will be live at the event, giving players and fans unrivalled analysis of the tournament and match performances.

Regular updates will made via www.CODUKChampionships.co.uk and the official Call of Duty Facebook and Twitter feeds.
