Update! 5 Days to go!

With 5 days to go until the tournament, things are starting to come together nicely. It looks like we will have 40+ teams. Please try to be there by 3:30pm so we can get the tournament started on time. If any of you have cornhole boards, feel free to bring them as we should be able to get 6 matches going at a time. As of today, the weather forecast looks to be nice for Saturday (knock on wood). However, if that changes we intend on playing rain or shine! In addition to the tournament, we will also have a 50/50 raffle and a mini cornhole challenge for those interested. Again - all money raised goes towards Walk Now for Autism.

For those who have yet to sign up, it's not too late! You can sign up up to the date of the event. Or you can just show up and we can fit you in. Can't wait to see you all there!

Tournament is 3 Weeks Away - Please be sure to RSVP!

Hi All! There are now just under 3 weeks remaining until the Tournament. As of today, only 15 teams have RSVP'd on the site. Several others of you have informed me that they plan to attend but have yet to RSVP. Please be sure to RSVP as soon as you can. It helps us determine the following things:

1. How many kegs to get
2. How many pizzas to order
3. How many beer coozies to order
4. It helps us prepare ahead of time for the creation of the tournament brackets

It's very easy, just click the link on the right of the page. It only takes seconds. Thanks and looking forward to a great tournament.
