Last Friday, 32 people attended our fall Nintendo Night! We tried something new this time: one-on-one battles with a two-tier tournament system. Instead of having one big tournament with first- and second-place winners, everyone who lost in the first round automatically moved into the lower tournament bracket and kept competing. Of course we had our usualy technical difficulties (no power cord arrived with the projector I borrowed...really!?!?) and the tournament ran long, but I generally liked how this idea played out.
In the main tournament, David J. emerged victorious over all and won a $50 gift card to GameStop. He and the other semi-finalists, Ranier, John E., and Andrew C., all got candy. (All of these last initials are important because we had lots of multiple names at this event!) In the second tournament, Morgan beat out Evan for the $25 GameStop gift card. Semi-finalistst Evan, Joseph, and Edgar, along with Morgan, all got candy as well. I also gave out one bonus box of candy to Roy, who, as a 6th grader, was the only middle-schooler to make it into the third round of the main tournament. Even though he was beaten out, he was proud to represent!
Thanks to a grant from the Delaware County Office of Behavioral Health for helping to make this event possible. See you at our next tournament this winter!!
