The winner of this grand tournament will not only take home the trophy of a lifetime, but a monetary cash prize depending on the number of attendees! As previous Madness-goers will tell you – it’s a great day of hanging out and the one of the best barbecue's of the year.

THE SETUP: As in years past, each player in the tournament will compete against everyone in their division, which will be followed by the top finishers qualifying for a playoff series where the winners of each playoff round will advance until finally a champion is crowned (NOTE: qualifying for the playoffs/playoff format will be determined by the amount of people that participate--a final email will be sent out a few days prior to the event with the exact format once we have a strong head count of participents)
1) Player - Play in the tournament
Buy In is $25.00
What You Get for your $25.00:
1) One of the coveted entry spots in the Pig Madness 2010 tournament and the chance to win all the money in the pot! Please note this is an all-day commitment! All players must be present from beginning to end. All players must be in attendance by 1:45 PM so we can go over the rules, set up, etc! The tournament will start at 2 PM and should run until around dusk. You are, of course, welcome to hang out afterwards as the party will not be over when the pigs stop rolling!
2) Unlimited beer & sliders from Tippin Da Cow burgers - Chicago's premiere bar food!
(NOTE:--We could also use a couple of Volunteers to help the NPPL at the Pig Madness 2010 tournament!! Referees would be fantastic. If you wish to volunteer as a referee, you will get free admission. We could use at least 2 of these. Every year the tournament gets immensely bigger and that much harder to manage and control.)
