Put your snow shovel down for a weekend and come to San Francisco in December!

We are proud to be part of the PAPA Circuit for the first time, and hope that players from other parts of the country (and beyond) will come and take part of San Francisco’s premier annual event.

The tournament will be played at FreeGoldWatch in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood and is open to players of all levels.

The format is groups of 4 players, with 7/5/3/1 scoring. After 13 rounds of qualifying, the top 24 players move on to the playoffs on Sunday. We are an IFPA sanctioned event, and will grade out to 100% for full wpprs. There will be a consolation tournament on Sunday for those who didn’t make the playoffs.

Cost to enter: $40 + Eventbrite fee of $3 + coin drop for each game. Tickets go on sale on September 15th, and we are limited to 72 entrants.

Welcome to SF!

Just got word from our A/V club that we now have a Twitch account set up. We are planning on streaming the event, and I’ll post more info when that becomes available. http://www.twitch.tv/fgw_sfpd

For participants, note that there has been a slight change to the rules. 28 instead of 24 players will qualify for the playoffs on Sunday. The top 4 get a bye in the first round. Also, top qualifier gets a $50 bounty. The runner up qualifier gets $25.

Thanks for all the pictures Gene! If you want to revisit Sunday’s play, go to http://www.twitch.tv/fgw_sfpd/v/29780167. Thank you to all officials, score keepers, techs, operators, commentators, and other volunteers. You guys rock! Congrats to Tim Hansen, who took the 2015 City Champ title after some very impressive play all weekend long.
