Tekken Tournament

Over the past year and a half, I've suggested that the guys I teach, generally don't have many interests. Well, here is proof to the contrary, there will be a Tekken tournament held in the Abu Dhabi Men's College Auditorium, the same venue that only recently hosted former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Tekken, it is an arcade fighting game from the early to mid 1990's similar to the game Mortal Combat. From what I can tell, it is a big deal because it has been on the notice board for the past week and according to the notice is the United Arab Emirates championship. For details about the event, you can go to the web page run by the Men's College Student Council.

In all seriousness, I am impressed by the interest level and organization of the students involved for organizing this event, even if it is a video game tournament. It starts inabout 10 days andI'll be interested to see how things go for them.
