• Please have ID ready – You must be 21 to participate
• You must blow a .08 in order to compete

Bonus Points

• For each .01 of BAC you blow above .08, 5,000 bonus points will be added to each song score.

Tournament Play:

1. Play will be held on a single setup involving 2 pads and an Xbox attached to an LCD projector.
2. Two players compete at a time to earn the most hits in the best 2 of 3 songs. If one player fails the song, they will automatically lose that song. If one player wins 2 consecutive songs, the winner is declared and the 3rd song is not played. All pairings of remaining players will be randomized each round. The winner moves on to the next round, and the loser is eliminated. Each round consists of different songs, arranged by increasing difficulty. When 2 players remain, a final match will consist of 3 songs; the first to win 3 of them wins the tournament.
3. The first 10 people to sign up will receive a free Red Bull before their turn.
4. Personal modifications the songs will not be allowed, and no modifiers will be added by us to the songs. This is to maintain consistency between players.
