We’re switching things up this Summer for Birdfish Euchre League with open bracketed single elimination tournaments each week. No entry fee and win some Birdfish merchandise.
Open tournament play every Tuesday beginning July 16th for 5 consecutive weeks with final GRAND FINALE tournament on Tuesday, August 13th. Sign up at the bar with Amanda between 4 and 6:15 p.m. First round of the tournament starts precisely at 6:30 p.m. in the Ballroom.
Each round will be a timed 20 minute game. Winning team with most points in the round will proceed to next round in the tournament. Stick around for extra pickup games if you’re knocked out early.
Summer means no commitment! You can come 1 week or all 5. Have fun, drink some beer and win some prizes. If you don’t have a partner, just show up and we’ll try and find you one.
$1 off all beers on Tuesdays for anyone participating in Birdfish Euchre League.
We reserve the right to kick you out of league for any unsportsmanlike behavior, cheating, etc.
Birdfish House Rules:
Accumulate as many points as possible per timed 20 minute game, no limit.
First dealer determined by first turned up black jack
Dealer offers player to the right to cut
Player does not need to have a bauer or trump in their hand to call up a dealer
No table talk is allowed, opposing team will be awarded 2 points
Do not endorse farmers hand, no trump, reverse no trump, ace no face, etc.
The only technique endorsed is "screw the dealer"
If a player goes alone and takes all 5 tricks, 4 points are awarded
If the team that does not call trump takes 3 tricks, 2 points are awarded
Teams will be able to use a substitute player each week if needed, but one player on the 2 member roster must be in attendance. Teams will be allowed to use one substitute team for one week only in the event they can't attend due to sickness, vacation, etc.
If a team does not show and no substitute team is available to play, the team that is present will receive points based on the overall average score for league play that day.
Revoke Rule will result in 2 points to the team it occurred against and the hand is immediately ended (4 points will be awarded it on a loner). The Revoke Rule is an occurrence where a player fails to follow suit when possible.
