Wow, that is great! Looks like the event was a big success.

(Great job at running that many games. I'd run out of gas.)

It was a blast, if somewhat exhausting - I run everything in one day to leave myself some time to partake of other convention goodness.

And it is definitely a big success, and one that the convention organizers like to see return year after year.

It's usually at, or very close to capacity. This year there were 4 full 8 player qualifier games, plus the final on top of that.

There's a lot of little things that go into it. One that usually doesn't show in the pictures though is the ribbons that I hand out for people to stick on their badges (which say Car Wars Tournament). These aren't just decorative, but functional as well: players also get decal stickers with their car numbers to put on the ribbons. And the much coveted kill stickers for the ribbons too when they earn them. I've had conventions where people have walked up wanting to know how to get one of the kill stickers which they saw on another player's badge.
