Wiimbledon organizers looking to start up Wii bowling league
With the Wiimbledon event concluded, the fine folks at Geekanerd bring word that Steve Bryant, one of the folks responsible for creating the Wiimbledon event, is looking to start up a NYC Wii bowling league. Dubbed Wii Bowl NY, little else is known about the venture other than it has a website (it's a dead link at the moment and, apparently, will go live sometime soon).Bryant states some of his plans, though. "We expect it to be like a corporate softball league -- weekly games, three-person teams, played at various bars around the city. Probably start in September once everybody's back from vacation," he says. Our only problem? We don't live in New York city, so we can't compete![Thanks, Albert!]
Wii Warm Up: Wii Sports, tournament style
The folks from Geekanerd, who made a strong showing at yesterday's Wiimbledon (good on ya!), tipped us off that they had some sweet pictures from the event, which of course, made us even more sad that we could not attend. However, they also hinted that this will not be the only such tournament -- only the first. We like the sound of that ... but do you?Notice the turf that was rolled out for the players. We wondered if the organizers would go this extra step. It's just not Wiimbledon without the players throwing down on grass.
Wiimbledon tomorrow, no sign of strawberries and cream
Where were we weeks ago? We so would have made a pilgrimmage to Brooklyn to get our Wii tennis on. Maybe next year we can get in on this, since we hope tomorrow's Wiimbledon Wii Sports tennis tournament is the beginning of a yearly event. And where are the other Grand Slams, people? Get to work!Unfortunately, Wiimbledon is closed to new entrants at this point -- the 128 player pool is full -- but hey, the tournament is being held in a bar, so if you're in the area, can you really lose if you head out to watch? We think not. Wiimbledon gets going at 11 am at Barcade in Brooklyn, New York, and entrants are encouraged to "dress with moxy" like our man Richie Tenenbaum here. We encourage spectators to do the same. Just leave the bird at home. [Thanks, Conor!]
