Want to know how you can register for the PES4 National League? First details on how to stake your claim can be found right here...
On Friday 17 September, everyone in the UK will have a chance to qualify for the PES4 National League. To qualify, you need to play the PES4 demo disc, which will be available exclusively from Virgin Megastores across the UK for a mere £1.99 (redeemable from the full price game when it is released). There will also be pods running the demo inside Virgin Megastores if you'd prefer not to take the game home and practice.
Anyone who beats the demo generates a code. You'll need to write this code down on a form that you'll get from the store, or fill out the details at the website address on the form.
Only the best players can qualify for the League, so make sure practice lots! We're adding another eight - as yet to be confirmed - regional leagues this year to accommodate all the numbers. Even so, it places will be hotly contested as ever.
More details will be released soon, meantime hold tight and watch this space!

After a well-earned break, the League is back and very soon it will be your chance to get involved in the only Pro Evolution Soccer 4 national competition.
If you think you have got what it takes to battle it out for nine months against the very best players in the UK, then here is what you need to do:
1. Get down to your local Virgin Megastore from 27th September to play the demo.
Demos will be available to play in store
2. Beat the demo and write down your unique code - this will tell us how well you did!
3. Go to REGISTER on www.pesleague.co.uk and enter all of your details. Only one entry per person please - so make sure you record your best score against the demo!
4. Patiently wait until the end of October, which is when we will contact all of the lucky players with a place in the National League!
5. Virgin Megastores will also be giving the league demo to the first customers to buy PES4 on release day!
There are even more venues this year - 18 in total, so there's bound to be one very close by. There have also been some minor changes to the rules to make sure that everyone has a chance to get to the final and that we find the best players! All players have to play 20 games this season, so only the players that have completed all of their games stand a chance of qualifying. Plus you can play the same opponent more than once, just not on the same day.
So don't delay, MONDAY 27th SEPTEMBER is the day that the PES4 league hits Virgin Megastores, so make sure you secure our place in the UK's most exciting league.
