How it works

  • Teams of two, partners sit across from each other and stay together all the way.
  • Knockout: win your table and move on, lose and you're out. Games are first to 250.
  • Check in during the 30 minutes before your bracket. At the start, the bracket is drawn and your table opens.
  • If your partner doesn't make it, you're paired with another player, or a computer partner. Computer players fill any empty seats, and they're always labeled as computers.
  • The winning team gets the Champion badge and a share card. It's free: no entry fee, no money prizes, just bragging rights.
