The following is a paid message from Gamerbowl Commissioner, Jamie “the Gamer” Burdon. To maintain integrity, this message has not been edited so it includes all original spelling and/or grammatical errors.

I know what you are thinking; you are thinking why this email is so late this year? It is likely you’ve been sitting on the edge of your computer chair for the past month worried that you would not receive the Gamerbowl 9 email invitation, rest easy, if you are receiving this email you are one of a selected, carefully handpicked group or well oiled, well conditioned ahhhh who are we kidding we are aging, out of are prime, shells of what we use to be, men living in the past. With that said if you are excited as excited to be reading this email as I am to be sending it you truly understand the spirit of the Gamerbowl.

Because most of the people receiving this email have played in the Gamerbowl previously I don’t feel the need to explain the importance of the game, and the competitiveness that comes along with the game. I would like to remind everyone that as we get older and we gain more responsibilities we quickly prioritize what is important to us. Every Super bowl we are lucky we get to put to the head of our priorities our friends. Maybe we don’t see each other every week, or even every month….hell maybe some of us only see each other this one time of the year, but when we do see each other I want you to realize that friends from home can give us something University, or work friends can never give us. High school and hometown friends understand how important Kelly’s was, or how the Chili Pepper is called The Pepper not Chili’s or what Gamerbowl means to us. It truly is a time to get together and remind ourselves that we were lucky enough to have a big close group of friends.

Now to the important stuff: As always we have a few rules!
