Twenty teens attended last Tuesday's dual tournament meeting of Competitive Gaming Club! Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (PS3) were the two games played in the tournament. We also had a third game system set up for people who just wanted to play for fun.

First place in each tournament received a $15 gift card to GameStop. Second and third place winners picked out a game poster of their choice. Photos of the winners:

After both tournaments concluded the gamers continued to play Brawl, PS3, and Wii games. And there also were a few Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh games going on as well!

Please join us for our next meeting of the Competitive Gaming Club on Thursday, November 29 at 6:30 pm!
