## Tipped Off 15
At Tipped Off 15, Nouns was integrated as the tier 1 sponsor of the event. Nouns Esports was prominently featured throughout the broadcast, maintained a booth on-site, unveiled the Nouns Fest Showcase trailer, and advertised the launch of our newly updated website, Nouns.GG, which has replaced Prop House for our community.
Tipped Off 15 will be remembered as one of the premier tournaments of 2024. It was the only open event featuring all of the top 10 players, and it attracted more top 20 players than any other competition.
The event was streamed across three channels, peaking at 32,605 concurrent viewers during the grand finals, where C9.Mang0 triumphed over Nouns.CodySchwab. The event amassed a total of 262,616.9 hours of live stream watch time and garnered over half a million VOD views, making it one of the most watched events of the year.
### Content
Our content team arrived at Tipped Off 15 early to capture exclusive behind-the-scenes footage at Mang0's bootcamp. We have filled our channels with short-form content from this event, which has amassed over 200,000 views to date. This unprecedented attention on our YouTube channel can be attributed to our unique access to the world's top players, thanks to the event director, Ohan.

### Booth
At our booth, we gave away Noggles/chocolate and sold t-shirts/hats. While sales were modest, we successfully distributed all of the chocolate and Noggles.
Our key takeaways included:
* Increasing booth activity, such as setting up a game station with scheduled activations featuring our players.
* Adding signage to provide information about Nouns from a distance, sparking curiosity without requiring direct interaction.
* Using a clothing rack to better display our merchandise.
### Converting to Nouns.GG
A major focus of sponsoring Tipped Off 15 was to kick off our journey for the second half of the year. During the event, the Nouns Fest Showcase voting round was open, aiming to bring awareness to our new website, which functions similarly to Prop House but operates off-chain and offers various login options besides a crypto wallet, enabling greater adoption.
We anticipated the event would lead to an influx of new accounts, which it did. However, the Tuesday after the event, one of the candidates, Soonsay, sent out a [tweet](https://x.com/s00nsay/status/1803134425653293150) asking his audience to vote for him, generating more traffic in one day than the entire weekend.
### Brand Integration
Noggle lanyards were a huge success and were seen everywhere throughout the weekend. Players wore them during matches on stream, in photos, and around the event area. Lanyards and competitor passes often become collector's items that fans cherish. One of our key takeaways was to alternate the Noggles with Nouns.GG branding to drive more traffic to our site.
Before the top 4 matches, we played the Nouns Fest Showcase trailer, which was very well received. You can view the trailer [here](https://x.com/nounsesports/status/1802523449509986774).
Another highlight of our brand integration was the theater shot of everyone wearing Noggles. We used Klim's lo-fi paper Noggles to do this cost-effectively. Once everyone was seated in the theater, we distributed Noggles and kindly asked everyone to prepare for the photo. Ohan, the Event Director, came on stage to thank everyone for attending and prompted them to pose for this memorable shot.
The Nouns Badge initiative was unsuccessful. Our community lacks a strong minting culture, and many users do not have Ethereum readily available for transactions. Although we are a few steps away from cultivating a healthy minting culture, we will continue to iterate and streamline the process to facilitate easier user onboarding.
### Next Up
Now that Tipped Off is behind us, our focus shifts towards Nouns Fest. We have confirmed our 10 players, with 2 of them being voted in on [Nouns.GG](https://nouns.gg/rounds/nouns-fest-showcase).
