Ballzonya! Ballzonya! Ballzonya!
(photos to come later)
Another successful tournament has come and gone and everyone on hand had a blast!
Seven teams squared off at The Nickel Spot to earn the golden cups and the awesome Budweiser prizes that we thank Beal Distributing for providing.
With Hobo days looming, some interesting teams took shape. A patchwork Ballzonya took the gold cups from a Kaiser Soze team made up of the captains of the Ringers and Skin2Win with three rookies. A team with only four members was allowed to play as one of the players offered to take the role of two. He performed admirably and I think that team took two wins.
The night was not without controversy, however. The Bud Girls, in their second strong effort at a sanctioned event, left the tournament after only one loss. This gave Kaiser Soze a clear path out of the loser’s bracket into the finals. Kaiser Soze took game one from Ballzonya, squaring the tournament. Ballzonya was not to be denied, as they took the final round 3-2 in a thrilling and close final match.
We’re thinking about waiting a month and a half for the next tournament. This time of year is busy and we want to have big crowds on hand. Let us know in the comments section below or email us with input or ideas for the next round. 2006 may also feature a points championship. Stay tuned for more news on that.

Join Our Mail List
Upper Midwest Flip Cup has some exciting upcoming announcements. If you'd like to get an email each time we plan an event, send us an email at flipcuppers@gmail.com
We've been asked about doing another tournament and we think we can get back to a regular event on October 21st. We're working on details on the location. We're hoping for 10-12 teams and a fairly managable number of people.
This will not be a charity tournament, and we'll be back to $5 per person or $25 a team. As always, the golden cups will be up for grabs and we're hoping for fabulous Budweiser prizes again.
Some of us have been playing in "non-sanctioned" Flip Cup events at gatherings around Sioux Falls. It's really impressive how this game gets people excited, builds teamwork and friendships. Flip Cup is the talk of the town and we hope to keep spreading the word. When someone asks you about Flip Cup, please send them to this site.
See you on the 21st.
