Rumble for Rome Tournament Finals

Rumble for Rome Tournament Finals is one of those late-December odds and ends where the deal, contest, or freebie is the whole point.

The important bit: The online gaming world elite will gather in Seattle for the finals of the Rumble for Rome tournament, sponsored by the MSN Gaming Zone. After a month of fierce competition among 700 contestants, four finalists will gather in Seattle this Friday to compete for the title of Grand Emperor and the grand prize, a trip to Rome, $2,000 in cash and a replica of a Roman shield. Finalists from California, Tennessee, Minnesota and Toronto, Canada will compete for the Grand Emperor title.

Free stuff and contest loot are still free stuff and contest loot. If the terms make sense, get in there before the door closes.
