Toro Cup 9 Results

Toro Cup 9 was a great day filled with 25 action-packed matches! We had a few technical issues, but were able to capture all the matches (that’s the good news).

The bad news — which is also good news for Betsy and Jeff — is that we’re leaving for Ireland for two weeks! We don’t want to leave you bereft, so we’re going to list all the results and some early, rough video of a few matches here. Enjoy, and see you in two weeks!

Some takeaways: people like a variety of things, from educational videos to montages of show content to live matches. People especially like Toro Cup 6, since many of the top clips are from that event (it remains to be seen if Toro Cup 7 will eclipse that one). And Greg Walker features in two of the top seven videos, so people like watching Greg compete.
