A certificate for winning a small scale online gaming tournament is going to be worth jack all for getting a part-time job at a computer store or LAN cafe, let alone pursuing fulltime careers in the gaming industry. The only worth they might have would be personal worth, and I doubt there are many gamers out there interested in receiving a certificate.

wow, i didnt think of that. good idea.

i was thinking of having something tangible and something to say i competed. not an expensive trophy or anything like that.

yah, i was just looking for a personal 'memento' of me competing in a tourny. i wasn't looking for something to put on my CV.

i wasn't thinking of getting some big trophy with a metal dycast shaped out of jim raynor or anything,

just a piece of paper i could frame and keep next to my sport trophies.

i understand, man. what if someone created the 'award' in MS Word and then just asked the recipient to print it out. that way the recipient could print it if they want it and you don't need to spend anything with shipping/delivery.

i've been around online gaming a long time now so it was just an idea i had.
