Description
The third annual Old School Player’s Ball will be held on Saturday, August 31 2019, at 12pm, and will be a charity event to raise funds for PAWS Chicago. This tournament is open to all participants 21+ years of age, but you must preregister using this ticket checkout, and there is a limit of 1 ticket per person per transaction. This year’s event will have a hard cap of 98 players due to venue space, so if you plan to attend, please get pre-registered ASAP to reserve your space.
Tournament Venue:
Revolution Brewing Tap Room
3340 N Kedzie Ave.
Chicago, IL 60618
Tournament Details:
Tournament structure and length will be SWISS PLUS 1. This event will be capped at 98 players, which normally calls for 7 rounds, so this will be 7+1 (a total of 8) 50 minute rounds of Swiss. There will be no draws allowed, and at the end of 50 minutes if there is a tied match both players will do a sudden death Chaos Orb flipping contest (complete details in our Old School 93-94 rules here). The point of Old School is to play Old School!
Please be respectful of the venue, the cards, and the people around you, or you will be asked to leave (and unwelcome at future events). Entry fee will be a non-refundable $30 this year, with all proceeds donated to PAWS Chicago, a 501(c)3 charity focused on implementing solutions to end the killing of homeless pets and create a No Kill Chicago.
