"Cerro Coso's Game Tournament is a great way for the community to come and participate with their local college community. Not only is it a blast, but it's also a way for our community to learn more about Cerro Coso, the programs and services we offer, and check out our wonderful learning facilities," stated Cori Ratliff, Instructional Design Specialist and Digital Media Arts adjunct faculty. "Cerro Coso not only focuses on offering students a high-quality education, but the college is also interested in forming community partnerships and promoting the college within our local community."

Game Crazy, a local tournament sponsor, and Rent-A-Center will also be joining with Cerro Coso for this tournament and for our future tournaments coming soon. As this is an X-Box based tournament, it will be sure to thrill gamers of all ages and skill levels.
