Smash Bros. Brawl Tourney Winners
Thanks to all who came and participated in the first ever Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament at the North Branch of the Denton Public Library on Saturday, Oct. 24th. We had hundreds of people pop in to check out the BRAWL madness, and nearly 100 people enter the tournament. It was a long tournament, but we finally made it through to the end with the top 3 winners as promised.
All three winners received a trophy plaque from DFWgames and various prizes from the Denton Public Library, to include meal and play certificates donated by Gameworks at the Grapevine Mills Mall, Anime dvds donated by Funimation and various manga titles donated by A-Kon and Madness Comic and Games.
We will have another tournament in the future with players separated by skill level to allow recreational players to battle each other in one bracket, while the more professional gamers battle it out in another.
And now for the winners ( identified by their tournament player names):
In the #1 spot – Chuky
In the #2 spot – Red Neck
And in the #3 spot – Shamburger
