Congratulations to Joshua Gross, the first Madden NFL 12 champion of the young season. Having battled through a gauntlet of tough competitors, Joshua dodged a bullet on the final play of the championship game to clinch the grand prize of the night - FREE Madden NFL 12 courtesy of Get Your Game On in Ann Arbor, MI.

The first Madden tournament of the season kicked off 3 hours before players could purchase the game. Perfect for the Madden fanatic that couldn't wait til midnight. The competition was palpable as players entered, surveyed the competition, and awaited their game assignments. Pizza and soft drinks ensured all participants were fed and focused to open the round robin qualifier for the championship game.
