2016 Championship Game Complete

Sharp December 6, 2016
The 2016 Season Championship Game was completed last night. Big congrats to Flox for taking down the game! He is your 2016 Champ! I've been contacted by some of you regarding dates to try to avoid for next years season. I'll still be accepting dates for about another half a week. After that I'm gonna throw a schedule together. Until next year, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you all next year!

New Rule in Place and Other Information

Sharp April 17, 2016
There will be a new rule in place that will go into effect immediately. As of today, there will no longer be a grace period after being eliminated to decide rather you would like to rebuy into the game. You will have to make that decision at the time of elimination. If you do not decide to rebuy at that time (if still allowed), you will be considered permanently eliminated from the tournament. Also, there was some confusion about the heads up dealing process that had to be corrected last game. If you do not know how to properly place blinds and deal when in a heads up situation, please talk to me.

One More Game This Season

Sharp October 20, 2014
1 game left to go this season before the Championship Game! Zulli took down the game last Saturday, making him the first person to win more than one game this season! We also had a Nic appearance! For pregame next game, Andy and Myself have a 5 game beer pong streak we plan on continuing! Also going into the last game, we still as always have some undecided spots that could make the game pretty interesting. (Based on a 10 player game) Spots 7th - 9th are still up for grabs. Josh C., D-Kup, & Jason G. are trying to lock those down. Weeble, Niki M., G-Rock, Momma Sharp, and Flox are still alive, and could slip into one of those spots. Zulli is trying to wrap up 1st place in points for the season, Andy & Myself are fighting for most kills, and everyone else in the top 9 are fighting for Championship Game chips. Next game is November 15th. Hope to see you all there!

Only 2 games to go this season

Sharp September 22, 2014
Only 2 games to go this season before the Championship game! Everyone is still fighting for positioning and chips for the Championship game. The bottom part of the Top 9 is still up for grabs. Two things brought up early this year are still holding to be true. As of now, this is still the first season that every game has been won by a different player. Also, this could be the first year neither Brandon, Weeble, or Myself wins a game. Andy C. is currently running away with most season stat categories. That's kind of embarrassing for the rest of us if you ask me... On a side note, this could be the first year Weeble does not make the Top 9. Good luck to everyone as the season wraps up. Hope to see you all in October and November!

Another Adam Game has Come and Gone...

Sharp August 24, 2014
Another Adam game has come and gone. The 10th year celebration of a great man whose life was ended way to early. Thank you to everyone who played and everyone who showed up. Thank you to everyone who brought beverages, food, and snacks! Hope everyone had a great time! Congratulations to D-Kup for taking the game down! Hope to see you all next August for the 11th annual Adam game! 3 games to go this season! Plenty of spots in the top 9 are still wide open! Next game is September 20th. Hope to see you all there! Season stats have been updated after Game 8 (10th Annual Adam Game).
