[edit]Organised Gaming Association
[edit]The Organised Gaming Association arranged a number of tournaments including the Frontosa Call of Duty 4 series and the Cafe Viva DotA series. The establishment of OGA was met with controversy after it was announced that members would have to sign MSSA (Mind Sports South Africa) membership forms. [2] The Frontosa Call of Duty 4 series has the highest prize money of all LAN events in South Africa, with a total of R30,000 (US$3,800) prize money.[3]
The Organised Gaming Association has gone dormant and is no longer as a means of hosting tournaments pending a restructuring and massive development of a software framework required to run OGA.
The current tournament structure is formed by its crew members for each event with both social and competitive tournaments taking place. Prize money for the tournaments includes the pool of players buying into the tournaments and the internal contribution from Organised Chaos revenue.
Crew Members
