The Cyberathlete Amateur League (CAL) announced today that it is launching an Xbox Live division in June 2003. This newest division within CAL will feature Xbox sports titles as well as action and strategy games supporting the Xbox Live platform.
Frank Nuccio, president of CAL, said; "We see the addition of an Xbox Live division as an important first step in bringing console gamers into CAL’s online tournament leagues. With its broadband-only approach, Xbox Live is well suited to formal online competitions. We are also excited about bringing sports games into CAL for the first time."
