The first annual CHAMPS Glass Games was held August 23-25 at the CHAMPS Trade Show in Las Vegas, NV. Four separate events (plus a bonus round) took place, each with different rules and numbers of participants. A big thanks to Matty White, Lacey St. George, Hamm Brushland, Josh McDaniels, Jason Harris and all of the particpating glassblowers. We hope you all had as much fun as we did, and we look forward to seeing all of the medalists compete against the masters in the GLASS GAMES FINALS, February 21st-23rd 2012 at the next CHAMPS Trade Show!
