Upper Midwest Flip Cup

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.
