October Bid Recap: Coppell, Team Texas, and TH win Big while TAG, Myers Park, and Saigon South Take Home Bids

We’re moving to a new format for announcing results. As Worlds has exploded in popularity this year, there are simply too many tournaments to report on (great thing). We’ll be moving to the model that other events that have been on the national stage have done and focus on bid tournaments mostly. We’ll also shout out alumni who finish their TFA State Quals :) We hope this allows us to spread the love while not being overworked as a Tabroom stalker.
