This is the game mat that was designed for this year's competition.
The boys were very excited to see their Pokemon friends from Houston. And Lex was very excited to buy a plushie Charizard in the vendor hall. It's the same Pokemon that is on his shirt, and I think it's his favorite.
We found Pikachu!
This year the Junior and Senior divisions were separated from the Masters in their own ballroom. It was so very loud in their room. I took a photo during this round because Connor and Lex happened to be sitting pretty close to one another.
Hanging out between rounds. The Junior division had enough participants to play six rounds.
Lex won a raffle! I'm not sure why he was posing with a tired pouty face. He was really excited about winning.
He won a mouse pad with a similar design as the play mat. It will be put to good use when he plays Minecraft at home.
After Lex won a game during the first round against an opponent with a much higher player ranking than his, the computer moved him all the way to table number one. It was photo worthy. Then he got hungry and decided to forfeit the round for a snack. Because he's five years old. I was proud of him, he did play in all three rounds after lunch.
Both boys played really well. Connor finished the day with 3 wins and 3 losses, and he was 24th. Lex had 2 wins and 4 losses (2 of those losses were rounds he forfeited because he was more interested in snacking than playing), and he finished in 33rd place. And, more importantly, both boys had a fabulous time!
