Well we wanted our biggest Queesland tournament and that's exactly what we got.
40 players from Brisbane to Byron Bay made for an incredible day.
The day kicked off with teams divided into three pools to produce a seeding. We then had an epic Double Elimination Bracket giving teams a chance to redeem themselves if they dropped a game along the way.
After playing more than 100 games throughout the day we had some ripper finals matches.
Congratulations to Lucky Boiis from Brisbane who walked away with the win and our major prize thanks to See Moreton.
In fact, the Brisba ..read more
