Rockford City Championships was a blast!!

We had a total of 78 players! Wow!

It took place on Sunday Dec 16th
at the North Suburban Women's Club

Hosted by the best gaming and comic store in the area, Tomorrow Is Yesterday!

We had a wonderful event! Everyone had a great time, everything went smooth and pretty much right on time, and all in all we had a lot of happy players. I even made lots of Christmas cookies for everyone too!

The Masters... who will be at Table 1 by the end of the day?

The Juniors had a good time!

Devin oversees the Masters.... Looks like Ryan's keeping a close eye on the Seniors!

Our newest 'Best Buddies - PokeFriends Forever - 8 year old Alyssa and 6 year old Kayleigh

Quite a room full of players! 78 in all.

Look! It's Keny back there in his private room! Working his magic on the computer!

Oh, looks like our PokeDad Brian is back there helping out too!

One of our other 'Poke Dads', Joel, broke his leg last week in the bad weather.
Didn't stop him from bringing his son though!

Adam tries to figure out what Kaleb will do next...

Troy (in his World's Staff Pika shirt) and his group came all the way from the LaCrosse area.

Ricky looks over his hand...wonders what to play next...

James thinks about his next move.

The Seniors battle away

Carey and Jordan get matched up, and so do Ashley and Alice (Carey's mom)

We had quite a houseful!!
