Teen Gaming Tournament Continues

Jane and I have to say that Saturday was an amazing launch of our second season. Jack Patillo, our emcee, was fantastic as always and the Hurd family (name sound familiar?) were in to help set up.

Over 70 people showed up for the tournament and about 30 or so competed on Melee.

Sadly, gone are the days of Cheeto & Dew and because of our renovations we are now pretzel and water people...however...judging from the empty bags and bottles no one was complaining too much!

Open play was pretty cool with some Mario Kart in the second room and David Bowie!? hmm...on DDR.

Also we gave a valiant attempt to particiapte in a National Gaming Day Brawl tournament but technical difficulties...yada, yada...it was a great time anyway. Matt F., Blake B., Kyle S. and Marcus R. were super troopers and hung in there till the bitter end. Of course, in the end, they did get to boggart the Wii and play online a bit so I think they survived the disappointment.

So here is where we stand...Moving on to the finals are:

1. Daniel Vasquez

2. Javier Galicia

Lots of guys left hungry for victory so I think we will see a mighty return on December the 6th. Be there.
