Title: 17th Annual International VGT (Funspot) - Cancelled
Post by: Guss on January 23, 2015, 10:58:29 pm
This announcement is what caused the footballs to deflate!

"We regret to announce that we will not be holding the International Classic Video Game Tournament this year."

I emailed Gary Vincent this morning to get some dates locked in for Vacation time this year, and soon found out the Event has been cancelled this year.
Must be breaking news as nothing was posted on the Funspot/ACAM site a week, or so, ago.  Gary emailed me back stating the same info below.

"Funspot is not holding a classic tournament this year."

Emailed Gary back asking if the venue might be changing, but did not receive a response.  Which is to be expected; if something is developing behind the scene.

Looks like our boy John is trying to pull something together.

John, I may be available to help out as/when things develop.

Why?
Is this the start of the END with the International VGT event!?
What do you think?
