We will have either an 8, 12 or 16 player bracket. If 16 show up, we will have a straightforward tourney. If 8 players show up, we will have a losers and winners bracket to extend the tourney and give those defeated a second chance.

Here are some rules so you can look them up and have an idea of what to expect(I will have printouts for each player):

– Top 5 in play – Big Joker, Little Joker, Deuce of Diamonds, Deuce of Spades, Ace of Spades
– Sandbags
– Go for 10 (Bubble) you will either gain 20 or lose 20 depending on the turnout of the hand
– First hand bids itself
– Dealing team bids their hand last
– no Ace check
– no First 7
– Bostons (Team wins all 13 books in a hand) mean an automatic win for that set

Nitro Fueled BBQ – Switch & Play NYC Summer BBQ 2019 @ Brooklyn Bridge Park (Pier 5)
Jul 21 @ 12:00 pm – 9:00 pm

The BBQ is BACK once again, and this time, it’s Nitro Fuled!

We will be meeting once again at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5, Celebrating Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled! We’re also planning to host the BBQ on Sunday, July 21st, with July 28th as the rain date.

To determine the headcount of how many people are attending, we strongly recommend to set your RSVP notice as “Going”, because marking it as “Interested” is too vague for us. We want to make sure that we will be buying the right amount of food to feed everybody in attendance. If there are extra guests that would like to attend, please let us know, and consider contributing an item to the event.

We will also be keeping track on food, beverages, and other supplies that will be contributed to the BBQ in the form of a Google Spreadsheet. Please note that contributing something will likely factor into food intake for the event, so in the interest of fairness, please consider bringing something, to help the BBQ run smoothly!

Check out the items that are being listed for the BBQ on the spreadsheet, so we don’t end up with a large surplus of items or supplies we don’t need much of, such as bags of chips.

http://tiny.cc/SPNYCBBQ2019

Info on what we plan to do for Crash Team Racing will be coming soon.

[ Directions ]

To get to the Brooklyn Bridge Park – Pier 5, you can take the 2/3/4/5 trains to the Borough Hall stop.

From Borough Hall, head west on Joralemon Street, and keep walking until you reach Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5. That will be a 13-minute walk.

You could also take the N/W/R trains to the Court Street stop. From there, walk to Montague Street, then walk until you reach Clinton Street. Afterwards, you head to Joralemon Street, and keep walking until you reach Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5. This altogether is a 10-12 minute walk.

You could also take the A/C/F trains to the Jay Street/Metrotech stop, but that’s about a 16-17 minute walk.

Once you enter the Pier, we should have seating available with shade. We’ll spend our time chatting, gaming, and of course, eating while our grillmasters will be working the BBQ pits for the day.

If you have any questions on what you would like to bring, feel free to comment! Make sure to fill out the spreadsheet on what you’re planning on bringing with you at the event.
