Wiimbledon...is a Wii Tennis tournament photo

That's a tagline you can stand behind. It's concise, speaks directly to the point, and leaves nothing to be desired...except beer. The boys behind the first ever Wii Tennis tournament, Wiimbledon, ensure there will be plenty of that, too, having chosen Barcade in Williamsburg, Brooklyn as the official venue.

The little event that could has been building its own internet buzz thanks in part to organizers Lane Buschel (a PR-firm VP) and Steve Bryant (a Hollywood Reporter columnist), who know a thing or two (and people) about effectively getting the word out.

The tournament is this coming Saturday, June 23rd from Noon to 5pm, and Destructoid will be there to catch the flailing, the mayhem, and the drinking (on tape!). So, come down and join us, or get your name down on the list to compete.  The winner takes home a Nintendo Wii of their very own, and there will be an award for those deemed best-dressed in their tennis outfits.

Now that the tourney itself has a real prize, Bryant can come through for those looking damn fine: "...maybe the prize will be hookers and some blow. ” Aww, yeah!

Drunk people at a bar and Wiimotes flailing about. Man, I hope Barcade has a great insurance policy.

I don't understand. The prize for winning is a Wii? Wouldn't most of the people participating already have a Wii? How could you be good enough at Wii Tennis to enter a tournament if you don't even have a Wii to practice on? Maybe it's a special edition Wii. Or maybe you can just gloat that you now have 2 Wii, while others have none.
