Dual Control - Press Release.
A Unique digital AND analogue football tournament launches in Leeds as part of the city’s digital festival.
Throughout November Leeds’ digital sector will be coming together to celebrate all that;s great and good in the digital markets and part of the celebrations will include a one of a kind 5-a-side football tournament.
On Saturday the 26th of November at Goals Soccer Centre, just off Kirkstall Rd, 16 teams will first battle it out in group stages, playing each other on the pitch (analogue) and then again on the screen (digital) using the recently released PES2012 by Konami games on the Playstation3.
Across both platforms, 3pts will be awarded for a win and 1pt for a draw which will then see the top 2 sides from each group progress to the knock out stages. Those Knock-out stages will be decided over by an aggregate score after the sides have played each other in both formats.
All the action will take place in a single day with the winning team crowned the Dual Control 2011 Champions! They’ll also be golden boot prizes for the competition’s leading scorer on the pitch and the highest scoring team on the screen.
Goals Soccer Centre have over 15 3G pitches for hire and run 5-a-side tournaments most weeks; they’ve also run Playstation3 based competitions in the past but Dual Control will be the first time ever the formats have been combined.
Event organisers Darren and Duncan - both part of Leeds’ digital scene - think Dual Control is the perfect marriage of their passions and hope the event will provide a stern test the sides both physically and mentally.
