Thanks to all!

Thank you all for coming out to support eSports! We had a total of 39 registrations with 3 out of the 7 on the waitlist making it into the tournament. There were also about 25-30 spectators in the crowd.

The biggest groups were from Texas A&M, University of Houston and Dallas.

All-in-all, the tournament went smoothly and I want to thank every one for your assistance, cooperation and moral support.

Considering the logistics of how things went, the next tournament is likely to be 32 player single elimination best of 5 the entire way happening around the end of March. Any suggestions, feedback, and offers to help are greatly appreciated.
