Game On

Competitors, get ready: The third annual Colorado Cutthroat Connection Fighter Frenzy tournament is on. To succeed, you’ll need catlike reflexes, quick thinking and the kind of meticulously conditioned thumbs you can only get from years of intensive controller training. A deep, instinctual knowledge of Halo 3, Soul Calibur 4, Super Smash Bros. Brawl (or any of the other featured games) and a skilled teammate couldn’t hurt, either. Winners will earn points to qualify for the organization’s state tournament in June, along with cash prizes of up to a thousand bucks.
