In this session we discussed our plans to host a Games Tournament in college - for which Crystal secured sponsorship from entertainment retail giant, HMV, who offered to provide a games console and video games.

During discussion, one of the games that was a favorite amongst the group, Call of Duty: Ghosts, was ruled out as it can only be played by one person at a time. We eventually settled on Halo 4, which can be played by a maximum for four people at a time, allowing us to have up to 16 players participating at the tournament at one time on four consoles. We also finalised our console choice, picking Microsoft's Xbox 360 over Sony's PlayStation 3 as Crystal could bring in three Xbox consoles to add to the one provided by HMV.

Furthermore, we set a date for Thursday, 27 November, 2013 to hold the tournament and Dylan and Luke went to speak to students of a Games course to see if they could offer assistance or be interested in participating, whilst myself, Kian and Serena had our first rehearsal of "Otherside of the Game", which we plan to perform together during our final performance event. Due to the time we spent dileberating on various elements of the games tournament, we did not have time to achieve much during our short rehearsal but I became more familiar with the lyrics.
