I’ve got big prizes as always to give away at O’Neals and City Tap House tonight. First of all, at O’Neals, things are wide slam open. If you are looking for a win, this is probably your best shot all week. Action starts at 8 p.m. $3.50 margaritas and a $50 GC for the winners. On to the City Tap House, where the winners walk with a $100 GC. Another great place to try to get a win, as there is still no established order at the House. Hope to see ya tonight!
Here they are, the scores through 6 weeks. Teams in the yellow would be in the running for the bonus prize if the season ended today. Teams in the green would earn an invite to the event if the season ended today. Teams in the purple are on the bubble. They should highly consider scoring a few physical challenge points this week (new physical challenge is posted). Teams in the blue better make some magic happen soon or they won’t get an invite to Percy St. BBQ on May 1st. Hope to see ya this week!
