Launched June 26, 1997, the Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) is the world's first videogame sports league and has been the major force in the transformation of videogame competitions to a professional sport.
Over the past nine years, the CPL has hosted 50 international main events with a total attendance of 250,000 gamers, has sanctioned over 500 international qualifiers and has awarded $3,000,000 in prizes.
The Cyberathlete Amateur League (CAL), the CPL's online amateur division, has 500,000 registered members and hosts year-round online tournaments for over 60 game divisions.
I hadn't known previously that CAL was just a way lower scale to CPL...I'd say...if you are going to aspire for something....think big... go for CPL instead of CAL.

CAL is an online league for fun.
It isnt just a matter of one being a "bigger scale" than the other -- they are built for two completely different purposes
ok, not *just* a matter of one being bigger than the other... but CAL is like... on the way... to being good enough, to compete with the 'pros' in CPL. hehe
Like said, CAL is a start, a road leading to CPL. CPL which requires us going to europe and other forgien countries, which I doubt any of us have time for. Let's forcus on CAL, because CPL could happen but it's unlikely.
