Round 1 Trip - Sunday,October 1st
Looking to get your arcade, rhythm game, claw machine, and bowling on? Come join Duke Gaming on our trip to Round 1!
Located about an hour away in Greensboro, NC, Round 1 is an arcade and amusement center similar to Dave n, Buster’s. One of Round 1’s highlights is the wide variety of rhythm games that can be difficult to find anywhere else. If interested, please fill out the form below so we can coordinate rides. If you are able to drive people, you will get reimbursed $20 for gas! We will aim to depart from Duke around noon and get back by 5 or 6 PM.
I am Zane, your Rocket League Team Captain. Duke Rocket League is a relatively new program looking to take a step up this year in terms of competitions and success. This year we have a dedicated coach and a dream to succeed, so all we need is you! If you’re unfamiliar with Rocket League it is essentially soccer with cars, excluding the fact the cars are rocket powered and defy many of the laws of physics. If you are interested in joining the team, regardless of skill level, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/U8ePeUTmeGzpfu3S7
