As part of our Grand Opening week the first week of June we will be holding our first Premier Event tournament for L5R. Prize support includes metal fare tokens for all top 8 finishers, Clan Champion playmats for all top 4 finishers and for the winner not only do you get the acrylic honor dial from the stronghold event, but also a gorgeous Daisho sword set donated by one of our owners. The tournament will be held Saturday June 2nd at 44 Main Street in Gardner MA. Below is the Facebook link to the event as well as my totally not awkward at all video of the prize support

So we had a whopping 33 person turnout, which I want to say is one of the biggest non-convention L5R tournaments in the US? (If I'm wrong please let me know, I love to hear about FLGS's big tournaments!)

Congrats to Ian Fite playing Scorpion for his big win. 7-0 in L5R is a marathon and he proved to have not only the skill but the stamina for the challenge. Top 4 were rounded out by Rodrigo Retamoza playing Phoenix, Kyle Kress running Dragon and Crane Hatamoto Devin Bell. Again thank you to everyone for allowing us to host such a great tournament!

New England has always been a great stronghold for L5R, so if you live anywhere close check out not only Gardner Game Knights in Gardner MA, but also Turn 4 Hobbytown in West Boylston MA, Midgard Games in Derry NH, Black Moon Games in Lebanon NH and Battleground Games in Norton MA. We wouldn't have had such a great turnout without these stores dedicating the time and energy it takes to build a successful community and I hope to get some traveling in the next few months for more great New England tournaments!
