Summary

The second annual Octocat Dodgeball Tournament took place in San Francisco on November 11, 2012, featuring twenty teams and raising $62,000 for local charities like 826 Valencia, Second Harvest Food Bank, SF Public Libraries, and Streetside Stories. The event, supported by the World Dodgeball Society, saw GitHub's Force Pushers win the tournament, overcoming Heroku’s Dodging-Samurai-42 and defeating Thumbtack's All Thumbs in the finals to take home the Octotrophy. Each participating team raised at least $3,000 for charity, with a notable $5,000 donation from New Relic, and the tournament was supported by fans and families. Teams from various companies such as Andreessen Horowitz, Atlassian, Couchsurfing, and Twilio contributed to the event's success, showing a strong community spirit and dedication to charitable causes.
