The U.S. Army announced today that it is a primary sponsor of the upcoming Summer 2007 CPL ® Championships which will feature an America’s Army tournament. The America’s Army "bring your own computer" competition features $10,000 in cash prizes for the winners.

In addition to participating in the America’s Army $10,000 tournament, gamers can compete in other competitions on America’s Army PC game stations and America’s Army: Rise of a Soldier Xbox game stations during the four-day event.
