Upper Midwest Flip Cup

Forget that mularky I mentioned earlier about March 24th. That's out.

But some exciting news! The Nickel Spot wants us back, and they got us!

Where: The Nickel Spot
When: Friday, March 31st, 8:30 PM signup, 9:00 PM Flipoff.
Who: You, your team of five and your designated driver.

Budweiser will be on hand with prizes and as always, teams will be squaring off to win the golden cups.

Additionally, this is the first of three tournaments in our Spring Championship Series. We will be keeping points from the tournament, posting them on this site for bragging rights and awarding one lucky and talented team as season champions. If you want to taste beer out of the giant golden cup, make sure your team is at each tournament, and make sure you bring other teams to get the point counts up.

We're working on a location for April and we'll crown season champions by getting back to our roots at Suds-n-Suds in May.

We'll see you Friday night!

First off, have a happy St. Patrick's Day!

We have another tournament date! Mark your calendars for March 24th. I can’t say where it is yet, but it is a new location that we have not hoisted plastic at yet. This promises to be fun and we hope for great turnout. More details to come. Hopefully I can say officially Monday.

Additionally, we are tentatively planning two more tournaments after that. Sounds great? Well, sounds better if we make a season points championship out of it! Location number two should be at an old familiar home to flip cup, sort of a homecoming. And we hope to book the third tournament soon.

Tentative plans:

Friday, March 24
Friday, April 28
Friday, May 26

So get this, three tournaments planned, and something about points? How does that work, you might ask?

At each tournament we are able to keep points based on wins in each match. It takes 3 to win but you could score up to 2 in a losing effort. We can tally those points from each round and keep a tournament and season total. The more teams show up, the more rounds a tournament takes, and the more rounds it takes, the more points your team could earn with a tournament win. I’d say it’s a good idea to invite everyone you can!

We’ll keep a running points total on this site. Man, you think people brag now, wait until there is a points listing to squawk over.

My Team: 29
Your Team: 22
That other Team: 21
Sloppy Seconds: 5

So there should be great incentive to show up at all three Spring tournaments. We’ll have trophies for the winners that might just knock your stockings right off!

Hell, I don’t know if MLFC will have room on the back of their shirts if they should happen to win.
