Starting today we will beginning the first annual Student Union Madden Tournament. This will take place over the next couple of weeks and can be viewed on our Twitch channel as well as from links on our Twitter page.
The Format
This tournament will be setup with two random groups playing a full round-robin within the group. After these three games, the teams will be seeded in the tournament bracket by their record and ties will be broken based on point differential. It will then be a double elimination tournament bracket, leading up to the crowning of the first Student Union Madden Champion.
The Teams
Group A:
Patrick Norton – Eagles
Daniel Jakes – Lions
Tre Butler – Falcons
Cody Goggin – Cardinals
Group B:
Anthony Ventura – Vikings
Bryce Hopwood – Broncos
Luke Owens – Patriots
Zachary Spiecker – Steelers
The teams were determined by a random draw from our leader Liam last week. We eliminated what we agreed were the top six and bottom six teams from the pool and randomized from there.
To kick off the month of June, the writers and podcasters of Student Union Sports will be facing off in a live streamed @EAMaddenNFL tournament on @Twitch. For the sake of fairness, we conducted a randomized team selection. See the results below (1/2) pic.twitter.com/DIPQpUvGZv

The Schedule
The Cause
We are attempting to raise money for the Jackie Robinson Foundation. We felt that this organization best aligned with us as a sports website to align with. We are starting with a goal of $1,000 and would love if you would help us support them:
