In response to all concerns pertaining to the membership fee’s of the AGP and tournaments, we as a community have a decision to make but I want to make a few things clear:
The AGP is a players association. It is for the players. That is you, the community of Quake Live. We added the online tournaments as a bonus for AGP members but we do not HAVE to sponsor tournaments. This really should be up to you, the community. So, we are having our first public vote on the nature of the AGP, and it is an important one. The current AGP members have majority voted for this to be decided by the community and now I present it to you.
