According to a release from tournament coordinators Three Peat Promotions, the event “is off to a fantastic start, large crowds have swarmed the venues and we are expecting another mammoth viewership tonight to view the exciting matchups.”

Three Peat Promotions predicted massive crowds for the remainder of the tournament.

“At this rate we are expecting record turnouts for the remainder of the event given the response during the second day held at the Albouystown Tarmac.
