Helena Township Public Library is proud to announce the 3rd annual After School BRAWL, four weeks of
tournament play beginning Thursday, June 10, 2010 and running every Thursday night until July 1. Check-in is at 5:45 pm, and play happens from 6 to 9 pm. Log in to register at htpl.gtsystem.org.

The first week features Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Rock Band II will be played the second week; we’ve even downloaded some new songs. The last two weeks’ choice of games will be up to the first weeks’ participants.

Score will be kept for each competitor from week to week. First, second, and third place prizes will be
awarded each week, with grand prizes worth $50, $30, and $20 awarded to the series top three winners on June 24. For the majority of our tournaments, scores of 100 for first place, 60 for second, 30 for third, and 10 for fourth will be awarded. Scoring will be recorded using Ann Arbor District Library’s charting system and posted to our webpage, htpl.gtsystem.org.

The webpage also acts as a message board for comments and polls. All the information pertaining to our tournaments will be posted there and on aldenlib.info/GT.html. Follow us on our Facebook page, Helena Township Public Library.

Like last year, we have three Wiis, each hooked up to a projector. One station will be used to hold the
tournament, and the other two will be there for open play with such games as Rock Band 2, Mario Kart, Guitar Hero III, Mario Party 8, DDR Hottest Party and Disney games, Wii Sports and Rayman Raving Rabbids.

Helena Township Public Library will be holding two video gaming nights from 6 pm to 9 pm on October 15 and November 19. All ages are welcome!

Think you have what it takes to bring your gaming to a national level?
Below is an explanation of how the tournament will work.

aldenlib@torchlake.com

Each participating library will be placed in a match with 3 other libraries,
and the matches will be structured into a bracket. The bracket will be
finalized this week pending confirmation from participating libraries. Each
match will be a set of 4 3-stock, 5-minute rounds with items set to low. Each
of the 4 libraries in each match will send their #4 into battle, then their #3,
then their #2, then their #1. Libraries will receive 10 points for a 1st place
finish in a round, 8 points for 2nd, 6 points for 3rd, and 5 points for 4th.
The two libraries that score the most points across the 4 rounds will advance
to the next round and face 2 other libraries, repeating until a winning library
is crowned! The entire online play event should take about 2 hours. Libraries
that fail to move on will be able to advance to consolation matches against
other libraries as long as they'd like.

Bands can play any song, any version, any difficulty. Bands can be any size but bands that play all 4 parts (even if it's by 3 people when 1 player plays guitar and sings) will have a score advantage.

Hello Moderators and Players. National Gaming Day is quickly approaching and we will be pushing out improvements to the site in the coming weeks. Before that can get started, I am going to be updating some of the backend code here at GT System on Monday Morning, October 19. You may see an hour or so of downtime, but the site should come back up exactly as it was before. New features and fixes will follow soon.

Congratulations to all our contestants this season on a well-played tournament. Our quadruple elimination Mario Kart event scored some massive points for the players.

Next week we will NOT be having an event, but due to the positive response from the public and ample participation from our players, we will continue to have gaming events on Thursdays (July 16th 23rd & 30th). Note the time change of 6PM-9-PM.

Vote in our online poll for the type of gaming you want. Snacks will be provided by the Helena Township Public Library; however, no prizes will be awarded.

Our M-rated gaming will continue to run alongside the Wii tournaments with games including the Halo series, Call of Duty series, and Gears of War series. To participate in the M-rated gaming, you must be 17 years of age or over. Under 17 years of age needs a parent present. As always bring your Xbox 360.

Our final tournament standings are as follows.

Special congratulations to Sieg for participating in every week’s event and demonstrating serious skills in a variety of games.

This week we are expanding our pilot program of M rated games. The Halo series, Call of Duty Series, and The Gears of War Series are now able to be played games. Just like last week, participants must be at least 17 years of age, or have a parent attending. The Helena Township Public Library does have display equipment,(TVs)available for approximately 5 Xbox 360 consoles. We do not have the Xbox 360 consoles, however. This program's success will depend on you, the contestant, to bring your Xbox 360 equipment to the tournament. Please post any comments and suggestions on this page. If you plan to bring your Xbox 360, please post here so we know how many tables to set up. If you would like to reserve a TV, post here as well.
