It started with the first Downtown Durham Battles, a fun competition pitting downtown businesses against each other in a bocce tournament. After a week of play, Bronto’s “Palin 2010″ team brought home the championship. This time, the Downtown Durham Battles featured the ever popular game of cornhole, sometimes known as bags. This fun and easy going lawn game, which challenges teams to thrown bean bags into a hole in a board 27′ away, is a tailgating favorite. With 28 teams from 9 companies from the American Tobacco Campus and Diamond View Buildings, the competition was fierce.
On day 5 of the tournament, teams from CMG Partners, Compuware and two teams from Bronto remained. View pictures from the five days of competition on Flickr or Shutterfly. Coming down to the final match, Bronto teams “The Money Shot” and “Kings of Corn” remained in the competition. Last Friday, May 7th participants of the Cornhole Battles joined together for the finale match and post tournament celebration. Pitting two Bronto teams together allowed Brontos to rest easy knowing that Bronto would reign again as Downtown Champion, but one had to determine their allegiance to one Bronto team or the other. After a hard fought cornhole battle, Bronto Account Manager, Ben DeFoe and Territory Sales Executive, Brandon Wilkins were declared the victors!
Bronto is proud to sponsor this tournament, as a great way to meet our neighbors and make some new friends. Just take a look at a compilation of the week’s events, final match and celebration:
