Console Tournaments

The night before Iron Storm 8, the staff member in charge of Pittco's console section contacted me only to inform me that she was unable to make the event due to unfortunate circumstances. This got me quite upset, as this was the secodn event in a row where our console manager (two different people, however) was unable to attend.

Despite this, the section seemed to be quite well off. Several people brought their own televisions and consoles, mostly XBox 360s and Nintendo Wiis. The first tournament of the night, taking place shortly after Counter-Strike: Source, was Halo 3. Between three TVs, there were over a dozen teams of three involved in this double-elimination tournament. When the winners were announced, they were surprised to have actually won console-specific prizes. This is the first event in Pittco history that Pittco received prizes specifically for console games.

Super Smash Brothers: Brawl was held in the early morning, and it was played on a Wii connected to a projector, for excellent visibility with 4 players. Shortly after Brawl was completed, Guitar Hero 3 began, but only a small number of players participated, as many attendees were beginning to sleep for the night.

Have no fear, for console and computer tournaments isn't everything that Pittco was worried about. There has to be some fun no-skill tournaments in the middle!
