RRPL Exclusive! Live Report From The Gaming Tourney!

Candy Moseley — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 18:36:00 GMT

Ahh the day has finally come... The 2-6 Teen Gaming Tournament is here!

I'll be reporting as stuff happens, just make like it's happening live as you read.

The prizes look pretty good, and the eye-hand cordination here is INSANE, should be a good binary brawl...

Currently it's 12:45, registration for the wildcard spots have begun. There's a Mario Bros. Melle battling away to my left (go Link!), and ther is a bit of a pile up at the DDR. Must grab some snacks...

It's 1:20, just pulled the 8 wild cards for competion. Man guess who had to pull out the tickets? (X[). Tourney begins soon, the battle for total game ownage is begining to heat up...

Excellent, Mario Double Dash (MDD) is starting up, and I've got, crud, the 5th best view :p (wassup with that? I should have the best view).

1:25, Right we are doing the qualifyers, nothing to significant. AMAZING gaming skills being displayed here...

1:30, Yeah raffle! Ah man, I didn't get anything? Pretty cool games and and MDD RC cars as prizes.

2:05, FINAL RACE! Man, these guys really know there stuff. I'm fairly competent at MDD, but the level of skill at which these guys are racing... is simply phenominal. Amazing things happen when gaming morphs into an art...

Jacob H WINS!

Final placings are:

1st: Jacob H

2nd: Jared H

3rd: Marcus R

4th: Damian B

Man, 1st place got a $100 Games Stop gift card, and 2nd-4th got $25 Game Stop gift cards. The level of gaming skill and sportsmanship being displayed here are exponentionally amazing.

Well, that's a wrap on that, looks like we've got some cleaning to do... Nah time for me to Melle!

GTLeaders on the RRLeader! eh?

Behold the mighty glorious that is local celebrity!!

Marcial Guajardo, Managing Editor of the Round Rock Leader stopped by our Teen Room yesterday afternoon to snap some shots of our first place contenders for a featured article.

The boys will be splashed on the cover of the Leader on Thursday, December 27th. Control your envy and prepare.

Just two days after the Leader hits the stands our champion will take his rightful place in history-oh who could it be?? The suspense is murder!

In the meantime, Jane will continue to shop for doorprizes, snacks, gift cards, and generate buzz.

I will continue to faithfully wait for new SBemails, download free gaming fonts and create snazzy flyers. Whee!!

Crushing the Competition

Candy Moseley — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 16:44:00 GMT

In a mind bending two hours of frenzied kart dashing four gamers advanced by sheer skill and brute force. From left to right: Ian, C.J., first place winner Brandon, Cesar and showing off his fine Wii fashion-color commentator Jack Patillo.

Now- here is the deal...One more tournament event -then the big throw down.

I would read this very carefully if I were you...December 1st is our last qualifying match for a guaranteed seat at the Big Boy's Table- but here is where it gets fun guys- make sure you come to the Grand Championship on December 29th even if you were NOT in any of the final four.

There are some pretty little words we've been throwing around...sound something like "wildcard" and "door prizes" and "give-aways".

And for all you "I wanna help!" types - we are looking for help setting up, taking down, advertising, and my personal favorite, ideas and input for our next season.

December 1. Be there. Bring your friends. Tempt them with the opportunity to watch you Crush the Competition. That or the free cookies. Either one.

The question becomes one of dominance

Candy Moseley — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 13:28:00 GMT

Is it in the genes?

Once upon a time Jared H. placed in the top four in round one of the 2-6 Teen Gaming Tournament.

Guess who took home the TOP prize this time...that's right, say it with me, Little Bro!! It seems little brother Jacob has been taught a thing or two and maybe has some teaching to do himself. But come December 29th the brothers go head to head along with 14 other Masters of the Kart. Be there.

Why hello winners! Aren't you looking dapper? We can almost see the sparks flying from their electric capabilities!

Oh wait...sorry...I...I think that's just our rope lights...

From left to right: Damian B. third place, Jacob H. first place, Moises N. second place, Koge D. fourth place and, ladies and gentlemen, Jack Pattillo, Lord of the Color Commentary.

See our MySpace page for further glory.

So here are my questions for you- spectators: Can you...

Bring it
Handle Intense Mayhem
Dominate

If so, we may just be the Gaming Tournament for You! You!! YOU!!!

2-6 Teen Gaming Tournament Dates

Jane Dance — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 19:20:00 GMT

Just to let y'all know the next tournament dates are:

OCTOBER 13TH, 2007

NOVEMBER 17, 2007

DECEMBER 1, 2007

GRANDE FINALE - DECEMBER 29TH

Join in here, post on the blog, and let us know if you will be coming along. See you there for more Mario Kart Double Dash!

One day, when I was passing by the library...

Candy Moseley — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 01:19:00 GMT

We came, we snacked, we dance danced, we double dashed and somewhere in the middle I believe there was a melee.

2-6 Teen's first Gaming Tournament was a Super Smash Success! (Awww, that was cheesy-like the Cheetos you so crave).

Over 100 people showed up and we had 40 competitors bracketed in the Double Dash competition.

Kevin S. took the GameStop gift card home with him but John C., Dylan R., and Jared H. rounded out the Top 4. All will return for our Grand Championship in December. Don't they look content as they pose with Jack- our noble Color Commentator? Or maybe that's just the after effects of Mountain Dew Game Fuel?

Jane and I can not give the words "Thank you" enough meaning to all who helped but we especially want to acknowledge: Jack, Brooks, Matt, David, Lee and Kevin. "Thank you, sweeties" go out to Ryan, Josh and Jacob for helping with set up and clean up.

Our future will be decided by you- my young gamers. Here we will be posting questions that will probe your fertile brains fueling our maniacal plans for total world domination. Or sumpin' like that.

We ask. You answer. Mkay? Mkay.

And so it begins...

You hold in your hands a wee little baby of a Teen Program...grow with it what you will.

Smack talk amongst yourselves.

Welcome to the world... 2-6 Teen Gaming Tournament!

Jane Dance — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 13:41:00 GMT
