A few of us got set up- the room this time was a blank canvas, so we set up all the chairs and the tables how we needed them.
People started arriving properly from 11am, getting signed up for whatever they fancied.
The raffle caught a lot of people’s eyes this time, what with a Build-a-Bear Squirtle amongst other things!
The final league session kicked off at half past 11, it ended on the Wii U, so first up was Mario Kart 8.
The first race for some reason ended up being ridiculously dramatic, ending up in a lot of noise, Paul thinking he was driving a real car, and then Drn falling off his chair!!
We were originally going to overlap everything, but we only had a small number sign up for the VGC Pokémon Sun/Moon Tournament (the usual favourites were away this time) and a lot more for the TCG (Usually the numbers were the opposite, so we had just 4 for the VGC, but 8 for the TCG…)
We therefore decided to alter the schedule. The TCG had its own slot, so that people didn’t have to pop in and out of stuff if they were in multiple things. (Quite a lot of our guys will sign up for anything usually 😉 )
TCG was best of 3, and single elimination. The final ended up being Paul vs Drn, and Paul took the final victory, winning a new deck of cards provided by BUMPS
themselves 🙂

Everyone got to play everyone, and the final was Dan of BUMPS, vs Derwen. Dan took the victory, earning himself £20 of eShop credit, and Derwen took the £10 credit.
While the VGC tournament went on, the non-Pokémon people were attempting the “Smash” challenge on the 3DS/Wii U. You were allowed to practice on the 3DS, but your 3 scores had to be done on the Wii U. (If you got a 0 score you were allowed another go)
James thought he’d smashed everyone out of the water getting 501.4m, but then Steven got lucky with 543.7… Kieron was the winner though, when he wiped them out with a 632.8m throw! £10 eShop credit was the prize for that!
Once the VGC tournament had finished, we then did the final round of the league, which was Runbow(!)
At this point we had a few newcomers appear, so they watched the end, and we chatted about Mario Kart and Splatoon, and some of our usual members were on the other big screen playing 1,2, Switch.
