🎱 Week 8 is TONIGHT! 🎱
I am the old man that says WHERE DOES THE TIME GO? Week 8, the last week of the PPC 2022 Comeback Season, is tonight, at 7:30pm @ Barcade in Fishtown.
Tonight is officially your last night to juice those scores and secure your position for next week's Finals.
We're planning to experiment with a new format this time that is designed to fix two classic problems:
having enough rounds of play for everyone without going super late
balancing the groups so that everyone faces as many unique opponents as possible (ideally, everyone plays against everyone else in their division at least once)
We're still hammering out a couple details, so it won't be announced until next week, but if you're planning to be there tonight and want a preview, come find me! I'm definitely interested in collecting some takes.
Format aside...
Here's what to expect next week
First, we'll announce next season's schedule before Finals, to give everyone ample time to plan. We'll likely take a few weeks off between seasons to recharge, and then we're gonna rinse and repeat this whole thing again for the Fall.
Second, what I can tell you about Finals is that we're going to divide the tournament into two divisions: A and B.
The A Division will consist of the top 16 players on the leaderboard after tonight, and the rest will represent the B Division.
Both divisions will be playing for cash payouts for the top 4 and a sick ass trophy commemorating the winner's glory.
Everyone will be competing for a litany of dumb and amazing prizes on our Community Prize Table, and we'll also have some side action going for folks who don't make the final 4, so don't think you're going home empty-handed ok?
On top of all this, the winner of A Division will take home the sweetest prize of all — your name on the side of the fabled PPC cup, for eternity, entrusted to you for safekeeping and proud display until next season's Finals.
MISS THIS NIGHT AT YOUR OWN PERIL.
Final Call for the Community Prize Table
I'm just gonna tell you right now, the crew has already set the bar sky high on this one. All killer, no filler, right out of the gate. We are gonna load these tables up with GOLD, Jerry, and we want yours too!
Feel free to lemme know tonight if you've got something to contribute — I know you do, the PPC always comes correct.
AND if you're planning to bring something to Finals, the earlier you can arrive, the more primo spot I can save ya in the grand presentation.
OK! Here we are! The best night of the season is right around the corner, but the second best night is TONIGHT, and I'll see u out there!
💛💛
