Mini-tournament

The school held its first mini-tournamnet this past Saturday. The purpose was to introduce the tournament environment to all students of the school. Although it was a internal-school only competition. it was run and operated just like a full blown sancitioned event. We had several parents who have been trained over the past several months to perform a judges. The events were judged on WTF rules. The event ran a bit over two hours. In the end winners were awarded trophies and everyone gained a useful experience. We plan on having another event in a few months. Congratulations to all trophy winners.
