Upper Midwest Flip Cup

We did it! Eighteen teams came forward and donated $845 for hurricane relief and had a blast doing it. Special thanks to The Nickel Spot, KRRO radio for all their on-air promotion, and to Beal Distributing for the amazing prizes, promotion, and so much behind-the-scenes work. Also special thanks to the Jaycees for providing two officials for the tournament. They were a great help.

The New England Patriots have nothing on a team named Major League Flip Cup. These guys have played flip cup three times under our sanction, and have taken home the coveted gold cups every time. To emphasize their dominance, they played out of the losers bracket and had to win two matches in the semifinals, and did it again to defeat the Peanut Pickers twice to claim the crown.

It was a fun night and went about as well as could be expected in an event that had over 90 contestants and many spectators. The Nickel Spot staff worked their tails off and were a great help. Hats off to them, and I hope they were tipped well.

Stay tuned for details on possible future events, or maybe even league play.
