Pin Tac Toe

Players are organized in 3-player teams.  Play is between teams in a head-to-head, single-elimination format.  Either bring your friends or we can match you up with others to make a team.  The teams select games on the main show floor and challenge the opposing team.  The winner of each game gets to place an X or O on the Pin Tac Toe sheet.  The winner of the match is the team which gets three in a row.  The winning team will advance to challenge other teams.
