School officials call off Halo tournament over concern

"A 17-year-old Saline High School junior's plans for hosting his first video game tournament where zapped at the last minute by school officials over concerns raised by local police about the game's content.

Zach Wigal says he spent nine months planning a 'Halo 2'' tournament for players of the popular first-person shooter video game, which is rated 'M'' for mature by the Entertainment Software Rating Board.

With about $650 of his own money, Wigal obtained a permit through Saline Community Education to rent the high school commons last Saturday. Admission was $5 per person, which primarily would cover the rental cost, the $300 first-prize and $150 for second place."
