*'''Clash Cubes -''' JoeBlo first created the DSL Heavyweight tournament called Clash Cubes in April. The tournament was innovative in the fact that the main restriction was that fact all of the entrants' chassis had to be cube shaped. The tournament was a little slow starting out but after it was completed interest towards JoeBlo's tournaments was improved greatly.
