On Sunday, June 5th, nine companies showed up at Palega Recreation Center in hopes of bringing home the Octotrophy which—since 2013—had been with the long-standing champions, Heroku. Thanks to Constanza and our friends at the Dodgeball Society, the day was packed with high energy, fierce competition and laughs. Everyone showed amazing sportsmanship on the court, played well as teams, and looked like they were having a lot of fun. After a tough battle with Heroku in the finals, GitHub’s team, Ace of Rebase, reclaimed the Octotrophy.
