Battle of The Bridges: Winter Haven

​

Hey, everyone!

It's about time we host another tournament, but not just any tournament. This tournament is part 2 of our original Battle of The Bridges, except during winter. This tournament is completely different than our first one, which is why it'll be bigger and better!
