This Sunday, test your threshold for pain as you vie for cash alongside fellow hand-thletes in the Madden ’10 Xbox 360 Tournament, hosted by South Florida Madden Ballers at Video Game Stadium. Cost is $20 for the first 20 to sign up, $30 for everyone thereafter. The round-robin tournament guarantees you two games, and the first-place winner takes home $200. The top two players get Madden Federation national ranking points. Registration begins at noon, and the competition follows at 1 p.m. Hometown game pros, stand up.
