Power, Wisdom, and Courage Game Tournaments

Game Tournaments at Power, Wisdom, and Courage

At Power, Wisdom, and Courage, we will have multiple Zelda game setups and several video game competitions for attendees to enter for the chance to prove their skill and win some cash. We will have a Legend of Zelda speedrun race, a Mario Kart 8 DX tournament, and Super Smash Bros for WiiU tournament.

All competitions are $5 entry and there will be a $50 prize pot bonus added to each one. This means if 20 people entered the Legend of Zelda speedrun race, the winner would receive $150. Below are the rules for each competition.
