Districts of Panem

Greetings tributes,

As you may well know by now, to commemorate the yearly International Games Day event, this year we have added an extra twist to Minecraft Hunger Games, as a reminder that even the strongest among us cannot overcome the Capitol (Ann Arbor District Library). We have at this moment 79 registered “Districts” (i.e. libraries) – 59 in North America, 9 in Europe, and 11 in Australia, and you will be competing against ALL of them, to determine who the victor is. Our tributes will be representing us, ASU Fletcher Library (ASUFL), District 101, producers of Heavy Metal and Space Exploration.

Over the next week, each District will hold whatever qualifying events they choose to select the two players to represent their library, and the 2 selected Tributes from each of these libraries all over the world will be pitted against each other inside Minecraft arenas! Then, the International Minecraft Hunger Games regional semifinals, begin Saturday afternoon, November 15th.

Victors will advance to Regional Finals, and each regional Victor will then face off in an International Final Match!

May the odds be ever in your favor…

Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game Duelist League

Thanks to a generous donation by Konami, on Saturday, November the 15th Fletcher library will be providing not one or two, but 20 Yu-Gi-Oh! demo starter decks for visitors new to the game to duel with. If you’re already a seasoned pro or feel your newly acquired skills are up to the test, visitors are welcome to bring their own decks and compete in our Duelist League, for a chance to win a Duelist League Prize Pack!

Each visitor wanting to participate in the Duelist League need only let a library staff member know, and we will issue you three Duelist tickets. There is no scheduled start or stop time, and duelists that earn 5 tickets by defeating their opponents can “cash in” to win a duelist league rare card!

When: All Day

Where: First Floor of Fletcher Library

Minecraft Hunger Games Tournament

Have you played Minecraft? Do you like the Hunger Games? Have you played one of Minecraft’s most popular mod, Minecraft Hunger Games? Are your skills of epic proportions? Then we want you! This year Fletcher Library will be participating in the American Library Association’s Minecraft Hunger Games Tournament. We will be selecting one boy and one girl to represent our library district and send them to compete with other libraries around the world for a chance to be the Minecraft hunger games champions. Represent your district and help us take home the gold!

The library will be providing a dedicated server that can host up to 32 players at once, whether you want to participate in the actual tournament, or just have fun with a group. Although we will provide multiple PC’s for visitors, personal laptops are also welcome!
