Auran Games, Gamecock and Codemasters Online are planning to do the "FURY Challenge," which will have one million dollars in prizes. The challenge will kick off Sept. 14 and be held over three consecutive weekends. First weekend is practice and the next two has the competition. There will be various ladders so even casual players stand some small chance. Customers who pre-order the game at GameStop are invited to the closed beta currently going on, so that's an option if you think you'll need a little more practice.

I participated in the open weekend beta of this game recently and (to quote the AVGN) it was a "boat load of ass." That game is pretty bad =\
And to the above comment: How many contests do you remember actually paying out the promised sum? Not many, but that's because it's not really publicized who wins.
