We invite two-person teams to compete in our two-round tournament. No partner? We’ll match you up with one! The cost to play is $25.00 per person for those registering by September 10 or $30 per person for those registering after that date.

Your tournament fee includes a variety of delicious appetizers, and a cash bar will also be available. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams and the top word scorer. We also encourage players to arrive by 6:50 p.m. to participate in our first optional “Lightning Round” and check out the Silent Auction prizes.

This year’s event pays tribute to La Porte County’s rich heritage by featuring themed décor honoring many of our community’s special places and people. Teams are encouraged to dress in apparel showing off their favorite local sports team or business.
