Hey teams,
We're only one week away from the games! With your team handbooks now in hand, we hope you've been practicing. We also suggest that you use this last week to make team t-shirts, create a signature team High-Five and perfect your trophy-acceptance speech.
Most importantly, don't forget to gather your fans. Make sure your cheering section has their calendars cleared for next Saturday, ready to be there waving your team banners and cheering your names as loud as they can! (Well, not so loud that they make you loose your concentration, but you know what we mean.)

The Crotchet Monsters
Nothing says scary like monsters OR crotcheting. Put the two together and you've got a Bartle Brackets team that is sure to either frighten away their competition or just sew them in knots.
Good luck in the games, Crotchet Monsters!

The Bartle Bravos
Bartle Brackets welcomes The Bartle Bravos to the games.
This team never stops looking for an opportunity to educate. Here, with their team name, they are offering a little lesson in Spanish to their fellow competitors. The word BRAVO, in Spanish, means 'angry' or 'mad'. And why exactly are these two so mad? Our guess is that it has something to do with being at school on a Saturday.
Buena suerte, Bravos!

The Bossy Prawns
Entering the Bartle Brackets arena is The Bossy Prawns; their team slogan being, "Get out of our tide pool!" And if these are any indication, we're hoping this team has read the very clear guidelines of Bartle Brackets gameplay.... Particularly that there will be absolutely no intimidation of the judges permitted... either with bossy attitudes OR menacing claws. (And that goes for all teams!)
Best of luck, Bossy Prawns!
The Super Challengers
See those two little smiley faces on the logo? If you look at them and think, "Aww. So cute" than you are in trouble, falling into The Super Challengers very trap. This team is entering the Bartle Brackets games with an unparalleled and unabashed confidence. Their team name, alone, reveals everything. They're challengers and they're super. And they know it.
Good luck Super Challengers!

The Mighty Eagles
Flying high, circling their prey, the Mighty Eagles are ready to fly down and swoop up the competition. To them the rest of the teams are no more dangerous then a tiny mouse out in an open field. Easy pickings. Good luck Mighty Eagles!! May you fly away with the Bartle Brackets trophy!
The Pink Panthers
This team is slick, sly and cool. They have spent a large amount of time watching the Pink Panther cartoons learning how to dodge paint cans, walk dangerously through construction sites and how to stay away from that pesky inspector. Hopefully this will help them in the challenges. I have also heard that they have spent most of their time making up dances to the theme music. I don't think that is going to help. We will see. Good Luck Pink Panthers!!
The Calico Kittys
This team is purrrrfect for this competition. These adorable kittys are ready to play and plan on passing every challenge with ease. Look for this team to always land on their feet as all cats do!! Just because they are sooo cute, and they are, doesn't mean that they are not going to claw their way through the competition. Good Luck Calico Kittys!

Soccer Sluggers
Don't be fooled! The jocks that make up this team don't actually think you slug a soccer ball! In fact, they're making a very philosophical statement with their team name. By taking the logos of Heraclitus, adding a bit of Sartre absurdity and ignoring Kant completely, this team is sending a message to their competition... their brawn AND brains will take them to the top!
Don't even try to figure them out... they'll run circles around you on and off the field and hurt your brain in the process!
We wish the Soccer Sluggers the best of luck.
CHALLENGE -- CD Dominos
Hey Bartle Brackets Gamers!
Listen up for a new challenge reveal. This one's called CD Dominos.
You see, a looong time ago -- like in the 90's! -- kids didn't get their music as mp3s. Instead, their music came on these skinny, round little shiny discs called CDs. And the CDs came in these plastic protective cases that were usually wrapped in high-security plastic wrapping that you needed a degree in engineering to open. Now that CDs have become soooo very, like totally!, outdated, grown ups don't know what to do with all of these plastic cases they have lying around anymore. Bartle Brackets has the answer!
And you'll have to work as a team for this one.
The challenge will be to line up 20 plastic CD cases in a horseshoe formation and then domino them perfectly. And, of course, you'll have one minute or less to do this.
Some of our older players might have the advantage on this one, coming to the games with some decades of experience with those CD cases. For our younger contestants, we suggest you find an old person and ask them for some CD cases so you can start practicing!
