Max Deep South Matchplay

Deep South Brewing Co.

Max Match Play (8 pairings)

Thursday night at Deep South Brewing Co. brought another strong TAPP turnout, with 27 players lining up for a full evening of Max Match Play. We were just one shy of matching our record weeknight crowd of 28, and it was great to see a few new faces jump in and get straight into the mix.

Massive thanks to Deep South Brewing Co. for hosting us, and to AMD for the prize support. Also a big shout-out to Bennet McComish for bringing along and helping set up Guardians of the Galaxy for the night - it added a great extra game to the lineup and was much appreciated. …

We were back at Replay Bar for Classic Take 2!, giving our matchplay + single-elimination format another run after we had to change the format away from it a few events ago. A strong turnout (with a few new faces in the mix!) meant plenty of tight qualifying rounds before we headed into finals, with machines playing so well we even had to bump up the difficulty to keep things moving. …
