Tournament News
Our tournament theme on August 21 will be the Summer Treat Open, sponsored by Jeremiah’s Ice of Sienna.
Jeremiah’s Ice is at 5304 Sienna Parkway, and you won’t believe their Italian Ice, Ice Cream, and Cookie creations!
In addition to the normal prizes for each section, the winner of each section wins four coupons for a free tadpole mini treat. And the overall top finisher for the night will win a Jeremiah’s Gift pack: five coupons for a free tadpole mini treat, a box of rainbow nerds, a box of skittles, a package of sour patch kids, a Jeremiah’s t-shirt, and a $25 Visa gift card. So sign up before the tournament fills up!
* If two players tie for first we will have a 1-game, 5-minute blitz tiebreaker.
• If more than two players tie for first, standard tie-breakers will be used (Solkoff, Cumulative, S-B in that order)
