Thanks and Acknowledgements
A big thank you to the people over at ACGL for allowing us to use their platform to run the tournament. We’re looking forward to the possibility of collaboration in future editions of this project 💙
Shoutout to the admin of COWZA allowing us to utilise their channels for promotion and broadcasting of the event. Without them, we wouldn’t have nearly as much reach as we did for the project.
