The organizers of QuakeCon, the annual Quake-related festival now in its ninth year, have announced this year they will be hosting the first ever official tournament for Doom 3. Earlier in the year id Software reported the game would be done by this summer, but there wasn't confirmation the game would be showing at QuakeCon for certain.

QuakeCon takes place August 12-15 in Mesquite, Texas and those attending can sign-up for the Doom 3 tournament on the first day of the show. Here's a description from their site:

DOOM 3 Inaugural Deathmatch Championship:
Yes, you read that correctly. DOOM 3 Deathmatch is coming to QuakeCon 2004, and there has never been a more level playing field. With DOOM 3 launching this summer, there won’t be anyone who has had time to practice or master the game, and almost any QuakeCon attendee has a chance to walk away with one of the exclusive DOOM 3 prizes. We’re not telling you what they are just yet, but let’s just say that they’re fast. Registration for this 128-player tournament will begin August 12, 2004 – the first day of QuakeCon.
