5th Annual Swinging Bunt Super Draft Tournament Dates

[Crash1207]

I've had a lot of people asking me lately what the dates are for this year's Swinging Bunt Super Draft so I figure I'll just put them here and save everyone the trouble of emailing me asking.

April 29 - May 1

This is the tentative schedule as it stands now...

April 29th - Home Run Derby, demos, etc (will be evening events - working on details)

April 30th - Pool play, Benefit party

May 1st - Single elimination seeded tourney

May 2nd - Dusty takes a day off to sleep

FYI...there is no date set for the opening of registration. In the past it is usually around mid-February but this year will be closer to March 1st. So until you hear otherwise, assume it is March 1st.

Hope this helps answer questions for everyone.

And I'm hoping to work something out with a shuttle service this year since we're not right at the hotel. I'll obviously let everyone know.

Crap! We have a WSQ that weekend. This will be the second year in a row. Oh well, at least I am playing.

its a very good time, alot of softball and alot of board bros play in this. I believe this is the largest draft tourney in the US now...

Tru-dat....

We usually have people come from Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, and other states...

As DDS (who does logos ) states, it is a great time and lots of softball...generally a 4-5 game guarantee.

No sleep Dusty. I think i had about 4 hrs total from thurs-sun. Sleep is overrated!!

 

[dds109]

will there be another hurricane like winds golf outing?

I'm pretty sure this is true. Not sure any other draft tourney does 20 teams and a total of 240 players. I could be wrong though.

At some point I'd like to go even bigger but that would require more fields (would have to utilize another complex) or institute Friday night games (which would be tough). <-- pipe dream

hey, those winds helped me drive the ball 370 yards on the long drive hole...only to get beat out by 2 feet.

same here. but when it was in your face no so much fun! fathead used a lob wedge and put the ball behind him!

 

[belly43]

If you are interested you better sign up fast. This will be the most fun you have all year playing ball and for a good cause.

 

[jshell73]

Its for a good cause but those beer bashes were pretty fun too.
