The time has come,... DudesClub is sending out the invitation to the second international bowling tourney.
Similar to last year's edition, you will be able to enjoy the true competitive atmosphere, the joy of fielding full custom mechs, dedicated referees, streaming of the matches, a full TS service and one or other kind of reward.
Tourney rules haven't changed in any significant way since last year. Some things, however, will be ran differently:
This year our tourney will be a charity one. We had a ton of fun last year and we were very happy to see how much attention our tourney obtained. Your encouragements afterwards were very valuable to us. However this value does not allow us to buy anything, nor would we want to. What we’d like to however is transform that energy into a good cause. As such we are looking forward to supporting doctors without borders with you through this tournament. http://www.msf.org/en/donate
