The qualifiers will be divided into two independent events with gamers participating in either the United Kingdom or European competition, based upon their place of residence. Each competition consists of the following four titles: Counter-Strike: Source (PC), FIFA 07 (PC), Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360), and Dead or Alive 4 (Xbox 360).

The $84,000 overall purse is divided evenly between both the United Kingdom and European competitions and includes an assortment of prizes. The following tables contain a breakdown for one of the competitions.
