Spring ‘06 Game Over0
admin posted in Site News on August 10th, 2006

Another term has passed and as we watch the exams fly by, we reflect on the term here at UWGamers.

Besides our typical Game On! events, we participated in one of the school’s Warrior Weekends in the SLC. Additionally, we held our wildly successful Super Smash Brothers Melee tournament that saw UW’s best of the best SSBM players duke it out. Our first ever DS event, Don’t Study, was a blast!

Looking ahead to the Fall ‘06 term, we’ve got a few ideas for tournaments and events to run. We’re also hoping to get some official UWGamers Tshirts made, so keep an eye out for those. As usual, you can find the latest news right here on the website. If you have time, drop by the forums and say Hi!

Thanks to everyone that came out this term and we’ll see you in Fall ‘06!
