Carmack met Katherine Anna Kang when she produced the first All Female Quake Tournament in 1996. As a bet, Kang challenged Carmack to sponsor the event if she was able to produce a significant number of participants. At the time, female FPS computer gamers were more myth than reality. Kang's tournament had over 600+ registered female gamers vying to win a trip for 2 to California to win $2,000+ worth of prizes.[citation needed] Among them were Kornelia, KillCreek, and the PMS Clan: some of the most famed female players at the time.[citation needed] Carmack and Kang married in January 2000 and had a son in 2004.
