The 2023 Class Council recently organized a badminton tournament for players of all skill levels to participate in. While there were several competitive matches, the main focus of the event was to have fun. “Even though I lost in the finals, it was a fun experience overall. It was a total of 4-5 rounds, and the entire tournament ran smoothly. In general, it was a chill competition,” junior Tianhoa Chen said.

Bedwars, one of the most popular minigames of all time, was the main event of Jefferson’s Minecraft tournament. One of the maps where players battled it out for this year’s Bedwars tournament was the floating sandy islands shown above. This was the second-ever tournament as part of the homecoming festivities. “I’m kind of biased because I’m a Minecraft player, but Minecraft should definitely return to homecoming because it’s a fun experience for everyone,” freshman Kathy Guo said.

Jefferson’s Congressional Debate team poses before a tournament in 2019. The team has had to adjust to support each other in a now virtual setting, such as at Saturday’s in-house. “Every time we had a national tournament or local tournament, we would always meet as a team 30 minutes before to just talk to each other, hype each other up, give each other confidence. We still do that now. We always call one hour before [tournaments] and talk to each other,” Nalluri said.
