In January of 2002, several members of the team had read up about a tournament called Battle on the Beachhead that the OGL was hosting for a newer game, Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Looking for something new and challenging and figuring they had a good shot at some of the prizes being offerred, the team signed up for the tournament and went out and bought the game. In total a 128 teams were in the 7v7 tournament. Affliction's roster for the game was Blur, Brian(Conk), Gax, Kryptonix, Mephit, Sam, Simple, and Sleepwalker. Blur was someone we met on the RTCW servers and liked. We needed members, so we brought him on board. Sam was an old Quake 1 CTF player that we knew and a close personal friend of our long time teammate, JackD. We had the pleasure of meeting Sleepwalker, a member of the old school qwctf/q3ctf clan the Dethclownz, in our time playing Quake 3 CTF. We quickly picked him up to fill out our RTCW squad.

We were slow getting things together, with a lot of roster and inactivity problems for our first two matches of the BoB tournament. We were given arguably the toughest schedule of the tournament. Our first match was against Cabal Kabob, a relatively inexperienced team that we managed to pull off the win against. Our second and third round matches were against top 10 RTCW teams at that time, namely team phoenix and excessive. We slipped under the radar winning both of those as well. This put us in the final 16 teams, but we had reached our limit when we ran into the well established Quake 3 TDM team, Team Abuse. Abuse knocked us out of the tournament in the 4th round.
