The Nubblies Tournament - Nubblies.net Forums

On a mild spring afternoon, two Nubblites joined in a game of horse. Being the explorers that they were, they decided to play "Nubblies" instead of "horse." Of course, the game would be played the same...the only difference would be the length...or would it? The creativity of the two combined with a little bit of time sparked what will soon be the basis of the First Official "Sports-Related" Nubblies Tournament.

The goal of this tournament is to have a 16-man bracket-style competition. The tournament will be $5 per person. It will be held on Saturday, June 21st 2003 (the First Day of Summer) at 12 Noon at the house of Ugly Bastard. This means two things. Firstly, start saving your money so you have the $5 to play, and secondly ask for work off. Food will be provided. The only thing I ask, is that if it is within your means, throw me a buck or two for the hamburgers/brats/hot dogs, buns, condiments, desert, etc. Or, if you like, bring some food of your own to share, just let us know what (if anything) you'll be bringing before-hand.

Some of you may hesitate a bit...thinking that tossing $5 into this tournament is like tossing $5 into a tank of angry shit-salmon. If you're thinking "he just described me," you are very wrong. The game has been tinkered with to the point of perfection. Yes, skill is a part of the game and, of course, being able to guide a basketball will be helpful...but that's not all of it. Some may even argue that it isn't even half of it. You're going to have to take our word, basketball skill is not going to make or break you in this tournament. If it did, Trout Sniffer would not be invited. But he is. So it won't.

So yeah, we expect to see all of the Nubblies regulars there. No excuse will be deemed acceptable for not arriving. We figure if we can get BDH/pliedes/tonguegina/Trout/Titan/vader/Niger/Rudy/Timmy Two Beers/Rufus/Dirty Harry/buckeye/nigga187/Lethal/BrassMonkees/victim (yes..victim) and the two of us out here, plus the several others that will be invited, we should be able to get 16 (or hopefully more) to show for the gala. The full-rules of how the game is played will be provided in a day near to this one, just know that you should be pleasantly surprised with how much the game of "Horse" has been tweaked.

The first round of the tournament will find each person playing "bear." As the round levels increase, so will the amount of letters in the games being played until, in the last round, the competitors will find themselves in a nice game of "Nubblies." As of right this second, we are thinking "winner takes all" for the pot, (which would be $80) this is subject to change, however. Even if you don't plan on playing the game, feel free to attend. The schindig will rest around the tournament; however, Euchre is slated to be played all about.

If you don't know, Ugly Bastard's house is located in Hodges Edition near Lincoln School. If you don't know where that is, perhaps you should look at this map. The address is 610 N. Lincoln Street, it's a White-House with Black-Shudders. If by some chance you're blind and/or just can't read maps, go ahead and PM one of us...we'll clue you in. If you need a ride, just reply as such, and we're sure someone would be more than glad to pick you up.
