[Update: There has been a change in the date and location.]
There’s a new tourney in town! This spring, Bob Winenger is going live with a new tournament in South Bend, Indiana.
Here are the quick details:
When: June 1, 2024, 9am
Where: Centre Township Library 1150 Kern Road, South Bend, Indiana 46614
Cost: $20
Theme: World Series Losers (1903, 1905-1993, 1995-2019, 2021-2023)
Bob chimes in with some more details:
Three man rotation. DH will be used. Eight or nine pool games with division winners and possible Wild Card team(s) advancing to the playoffs (depending on the number of participants). Rules will be sent at a later date (after I get them typed up) and will be very similar to existing tournaments with some minor tweaks, mostly clarifications.
Teams will be picked on a “first come, first served” basis. I will start accepting team bids on Saturday February 24th.
Elyse and Phillip Yike are my co-conspirators and I will try and get Elyse to make “goodies” again!
Sounds fun! And it won’t be long before teams will be picked. If you’re interested, start thinking of which World Series losers you might want to choose. If you’re considering playing in the Bob’s tourney, contact Bob Winenger at .
Good luck to Bob and everyone participating in the 1st annual SBABT!
Thank you so much for posting this on your blog! Very much appreciate the exposure! I was hoping to get to thirty managers and as of today, it looks like we will make it! Two weeks until the dice are in play but plenty of time for more players. These tournaments bring together a great group of people and it’s well worth a day to participate.
