About Battle at the Border
The first year, Caveman and Rob$ swept up everything. Last year, Pozerwolf and RoyR ventured down for the challenge and Pozerwolf left with heavy pockets. Now, who will emerge victorious with the stakes raised higher than ever for the RGV.
This is the largest and best run annual tournament the RGV has to offer. Last year there were over 50 Brawlers and we hope to shatter that this year. With a guaranteed pot bonus announced for BRAWL and SF4 there is more hype than ever for BATB. Don't john about anything and just make out here! TEXAS THIS MEANS YOU! (other states welcome also :-* )
