Many times a movement is started by a few who see the need for a change. In a way, that's how the All Female Quake tournament began.
Someone sees a void, believes it can be filled, and off they go to fill it.
The work is hard, the rewards are small, and the details are complex but people do it because they see a need and look towards a brighter future. Hopefully the success of a few is significant enough that the torch gets passed on to make room for future successes. I can say with pride that with the help of a few good friends, supporters and sponsors, the first tournament of its kind was heralded as a success. I wanted to meet women who played and felt the same way about my favorite game, Quake. The ladies of Lilith and Eve spearheaded the event and much like the AFT, through the help of supporters and sponsors, the event was a great success.
