Witches Brew and FLIP CUP TOO!!!!
October's Tourney is flippin' coming up!
Where: Tea Sports PageWhen: Friday, October 27th
Registration 8:30 PM, Flip Off 9:00 PM sharp!!
How much: $5 per person, $25 per team
As always there will be Golden cups for the victors and maybe a prize or two for the best dressed team?
Plus the Sports Page crew is promising some tough competition, and as always a free shuttle ride home. We strongly suggest you bring a designated driver or you take advantage of The Tea Sports Page's ride so that you can enjoy flip cup safely!!! Special notice! If you are bringing a team, make sure you have at least two females on your team. We went a little lax with that rule in the past but we will be enforcing it again this season. You can certainly have more than two females on your team.
If you don't have a team: Don't worry! We'll put one together for you. You'll get to meet new people, play a fun game and drink some beer along the way. Tidbits: If you didn't make it to our last match in Tea, you definitely missed out. Melissa and her crew put on one hell of a time. The music was pumping, people were dancing, and many cups were flying. A great time was had by one and all.

Sports Page Photos
Ringers get the job done again.
Skin to win brought it, but came up short.
Championship action.
Such form...
Sloppy Seconds and Burners in action.
Having a team named Ballzonya with no Ballzonya on it is like Van Halen with no Van Halen.
Here 4 The Beer and the home team.
Josh, TDH, calls a mean game.
We have tons more photos but it takes forever to do each one on here. I need to find a good photo dump site for photo galleries. We also have a few good videos from the new camera. I will try to find a place to upload some of those and keep the rest for scouting film for my team.
Yeah, that's right. Scouting film.

Ringers Take Gold!
On a crisp night at a new venue for Upper Midwest Flipcup, the Ringers took home the coveted golden cups. Eleven teams squared off at the Sports Page for our first tournament there. I talked to a lot of teams after this one and everyone seemed to LOVE the new venue. I have personally never had more fun at a tournament. Special thanks to Melissa and the entire Sports Page staff who took great care of us and even provided prizes for the winners. We also had several very responsible players take advantage of the transport provided by Sports Page. I’m very pleased with you for making that choice and even more impressed that this great bar offers the service.
Even better news: As happy as we were with the Sports Page, they were just as happy with all of you. We will be back on October 27 for another Friday night contest. I hope to see all of you, and more there.
What we will work on for next month: I had been inviting a group of people (Nagging them, really) for some time to come to a tournament. They showed up with half of a team and I just put them together with some other guys. I had no idea they would be that good and they had me sweating bullets at the prospect of having an all-guy team win. Fortunately my team was able to eliminate them. Next month, no all-males teams no matter what.
Also, I can’t really point to why we took an extra hour and a half to get the tournament done. If we have more than 10 teams will run a two-table tournament. Our goal will be to be done by midnight so our winners have some time to properly celebrate.
Photos to come when I have some time.
