Matchmaking
Matchmaking and score reporting will be handled directly through the Alienware Arena website and by iGames and CEVO staff. LAN center staff are only responsible for verifying that teams have showed up and the systems are adequately setup for gamers to use. No additional management of matches is required at all by LAN center staff.
To facilitate this process, LAN centers must install a simple matchmaking and chat client on each system that gamers will login to using their Alienware Arena username and password.
