See Schedule of Events for more details. 2) Where: Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada in the Brasilia Room (first level - here is a map of the hotel). 3) Why: Because we wanted to throw a kick ass Super Bowl party and run tournaments at the same time. 4) How do I sign up: Book your hotel ASAP.

Highlight tournaments will have guaranteed prize money valued over $10,000. If you master the TG4 challenge, you have a chance to win $100,000. Must be 18 years old to win. 6) Is this a team event? Most of the tournaments will be teams of two except cornhole singles (see a list of the tournaments). We suggest you plan ahead and practice with your partner. If you don t have a partner, don t worry, there will be several people in the same boat. There will be time to team up with somebody. 7) What is the TG4 Challenge? The TG4 Challenge is one toss at Pole-ish Horseshoes and four tosses each at BT2 Bag Toss, WT2 Washer Toss and minibt2. Points are tallied to determine a score. A perfect score is 65pts. Win $100,000 for a perfect score or win $1,000 First Place, $500 Second Place, $250 Third Place. Points scoring are as follows: - Bag lands and remains on board = 1pt - Bag goes through and clears the round hole on the board = 3 pts - Bag goes through and clears the slot at the top of the board = 5pts

4 - Points scoring for MPH: Disc hits pole = 2 pts, disc hits the target = 4 pts, disc knocks the target off the pole = 1 pt (5pts max per toss) 8) What is the Mega Bowl Champion? Teams are awarded points based on how they finish in a tournament. Points are added from the team s best 4 game finishes. This cumulative total will determine your Mega Bowl ranking. Mega Bowl prizes will be awarded to the top 3 finishers (35%, 20%, 15% respectively), top co-ed team (15%) and top female team (15%). There will be $10k minimum payout.
