Galactic Championship Tournament 2019 Recap

The first annual Galactic Championship Tournament was a blast! HUGE thanks to Jack Reda, Jeremy Upton, Derek Liam, Ian Allen for their contributions to tournament structure, setup, leaderboard software and the official Future Pastimes Big Box. And thanks to every attendee, we made history together!

Also we could not have pulled this off without the support of Charles Hildebrandt, who gave us space at the Museum of Science Fiction’s Escape Velocity in National Harbor, MD.

Join us again next year. Time and place TBD.
