Hey, my name's Ben Barrett

I was the guy that organized the tournament. Why they didn't announce the winners was because the tournament was unofficial. Aah, storytelling time

At the beginning of the convention I asked one of the people in charge downstairs if I could host a Naruto tournament in my room, since I noticed there were a LOT of Naruto cosplayers, so I figured it would be somewhat popular. I figured it would only be a few people that wanted to compete, but it turned out to be very popular. When the names filled up the page of the tournament roster, I showed that same guy in charge and he was all "wow

", so I asked him if we could use a TV down there for the tournament, and he said 'yah, ya can have the big TV used by the DDR people from 8pm ta 10pm.' About a few hours later when they changed the times for their official tournaments, I noticed that the Smash bros tourney started at 6pm and the next tourney was at 10pm, which was the Mario Kart one. So I went and asked the same guy if we could have the projector after the Smash bros tourney as long as we were done by 10pm, and he checked w/ the bigwigs and decided that was ok.
So basically, we got all the official stuff of a tournament, but no official tournament if that makes any sense... Also, I was going to buy some prizes for the winners, but due to some hotel pricing complications I ended up with literally no money the last two days. I was literally living off of the hotel's complimentary apples.... thank god for apples...
