Hail one and all!! I know we're a few months out, but I wanted to get this posted. There will be a Fizzball tourney, officially known now as the "Smashey Classic," Wednesday afternoon at Arm. What is Fizzball? Fizzball is Baseball with beer.... hitting full cans of beer to earn points! Here are the rules...
1. 3-person teams, 15$ per team (NO WHINING! There's a good reason...read the whole post!)
2. Single eliminatioon tournament
3. Bring a bat. Your "bat" can be ANYTHING as long as the hitting surface is no wider than 2 1/2 inches across.
4. all bats MUST have a lanyard. A lanyard is a SECURE loop that attaches the bat to the batters wrist. (this keeps wet, slippery 2 by 4's from flying out of peoples hands, which can kill bystanders and players alike)
5. The "ball" is a full, unopened can of beer (or soda
for the under-agers)
6. Each batter gets 3 balls to swing at. You need to hit the can to get points for your team. (BTW, this is a lazy person's game.... no base running, just breaking things!)
7. Here's the BEST PART!!! If you strike out YOU MUST CHUG THE BALL!
8. You can earn extra points for you team for "style". Style points are VERY hard to earn. Team costumes, maybe a specaculair entrance onto the field... surprise and delight me, I'm lookin for pizzaz!!!
This is a great game!! I'm posting this early for a couple of reasons... First off I want to see alot of teams fielded for this, which brings me to point # 2.
I'm not only running this for fun, (and I promise, you WILL have fun!) it is going to be a fundraiser for the American Heart Association, in memory of Canis. All proceeds will be donated in his name. So let's get a large participation, and do good for others, while we have a crazy good time!!
If anyone has questions, PM me, and I'll do my best to answer them. I'll have the sign-up at troll.Thanks!
