I'm a newb when it comes to SSB tournaments. How does Eddy's tourney work? Is it handicapped? How many people usually show? Can I drink beer while I play?

It is a handicapped tournament. Tonight will be the first one, so I have no idea how many people will show. I've got my kids so I won't make it, but Del will be there (and running it I believe). As for the structure - it is handicapped via the highest average (according to card) of the attending players. Then everyone gets 80% of the pins added to their score for their relative handicap. In other words - if someone has a 240 average, and is playing a 200 average. Then the 200 average player automatically gets 32 pins added to their score. I'm not sure if he's doing rounding or not for non-even numbers. He is going to monitor the handicaps, scores, and the places people finish so that he can tweak the handicap system as we continue to make sure it's fair for everyone and everyone has a chance of winning!

Also, it is highly recommended and encouraged to drink heavily while you play!!!

Hope you can make it out to them!

Hopefully these types of tournaments and leagues start to happen all over! Any that exist - I'll post!
