Tournament Numbers Up

Here is some interesting numbers for libraries that have gaming fans.  ICv2 spoke with Yumi Hoashi, VP of Konami Digital Entertainment, and she reports that Yu-Gi-Oh tournament participant numbers are up for 2011.  The Regional Qualifiers was up 27% and the Championship Series was up 17%.  This might be something to consider and possibly make libraries think about hosting game play for the different trading card games as events.
