FIFA 13 Evening

The School of Computing and Mathematics held its first annual staff versus students FIFA football competition during the evening of 15th November 2012.  The competition was well received with 15 two player teams competing for the coveted World Cup trophy (well, a scaled-down version!).  Four staff teams went head-to-head with the student teams, with two staff teams making it to the quarter finals where they were both defeated on penalties.  The all student final was played out between England and Germany, with Germany the victors with a 4-2 win.  Students Chris Clemes and Chris Austin were the winners (pictured with the trophy), with the runners up James Green and Josh Hartshorne.  The event was so successful, similar social events are planned for next semester.

        Competition was intense!                               

On Thursday 15th November from 5pm there will be the very first FIFA World Cup game tournament that will be taking place in the School in CR114 from 5pm.  Teams of two will take on each other in a fight for the coveted World Cup trophy (the first of its kind!).  All Computing students are welcome to come along and take part.  Staff and post graduates from the School will be also participating in the tournament, so if you fancy your chances against them come along and have a go!  Entry is £1 per player and a team of two players must be registered.

You can register your team (and a team name) with Computing Support in CR107.  Registration closes 12 noon on Thursday 15th Nov.  For more details, see the posters around the School or alternatively email me j.b.butcher@keele.ac.uk.
