The First Quadrennial WPBT Euchre Championship Tournament
by Luckbox
It's a game that's sweeping the nation! I can only imagine it's soon to be featured on the OLN network complete with Euchre hole card cameras. Who wouldn't watch this?
With that in mind, and because Up For Poker is always on the cutting edge, we're announcing the First Quadrennial WPBT Euchre Championship Tournament. Why Quadrennial? Well, either we won't want to do this more than once every four years, or it will take four years to finish.
Here's how it will work...
1) Initial tournament will be restricted to 16 teams (32 players)
2) Teams will sign up as pairs, and to sign up, you email me at Euchre -@- UpForAnything.net. If you do not have a partner, and wish to play, drop your name in the comments and find one that way. You CAN NOT sign up as a team through the comments. You must email me.
3) All games will be played on Yahoo! Games.
4) Initial rounds will be best of 3 games, semi-finals will be best of 5 games and finals will be best of 7 games.
5) Once the tournament kicks off, teams will have one week to finish their round. Results can be posted in comments here or emailed to me at the address above.
6) There is no prize beyond pride in knowing who the best team is. If teams wish to wager amongst themselves, that's their choice.
7) All decisions of the Touranment Commissioner (me) are final.
---------------
I will list teams that signup below. If there is a great demand for more teams, I reserve the right to expand the field.
Teams:
1) Heather/CJ
2) Drizz/BG
3) Matt from Austin/Megan from Austin (Readers and ringers?)
4) The Donkey Feltchers: Maudie/Daddy
5) GRob/Uncle Ted from G-Vegas
6) Jim Dingeman/Bob Paschke (readers, presumably, working on that)
Faithful Blog Readers allowed? Maybe I could be paired with a famous blogger?? *begs for quasi-stardom*
Seriously though. Where else can a Royal Flush get beat? (Definately thought I could go alone that one time... damn... had the 9 and the left f***ing bauer. there's a Euchre bad beat for you.)
How do you play? Do you just answer trivia questions about Bob Uecker? I would rock!
"Must be in the front row."
"Just a little bit outside."
I am a ringer.
Yay!
When does the world domination commence? :)
I'd be down for some Euchre. I'm not really sure how good I am, but I do know the rules. My parents taught me to play when I was younger. If anyone needs a partner, email me at suitedaces008@yahoo.com
You are all going down, my soon-to-be announced partner and I will be dishing out sets like Boris Becker at Wimbeldon.
If you're allowing a readers that lurk in the night reading your blog without posting, I would love to play. I sent Patrick from above an email, so maybe he and I will partner up if allowed.
I shouldn't leak this probably, but I'm quite possibly the greatest Euchre player in the lower 48.
If you would like to team up with Daddy, please send me your resume via the email link.
My style is impetuous, my defense impregnable.
I'm a native born Hoosier, my Mom taught me to play euchre, and since she won't be playing I stand a great chance of finishing in the money! Who needs a good partner??

HI. I've been reading this blog for about 9 months now and pretty much the only one I like. I've been playing Euchre since I was 5. I'm from Nort'turn Meechigan and love playing. Anyone need a partner or just someone as an alternate just email me at bpaschke@hotmail.
Thanks....OUT
Get me a partner...I'm ready to whoop some Euchre ASS!!!!
Not sure if I would be a good partner..maybe this will ease your mind:
eating cheesy puffs = playing euchre
'Nuff said!
have you picked a date for this to begin? i'd be happy to play if i know when....
The event will begin as soon as I get enough teams. We've got two confirmed right now! lol
Perhaps I'll get things rolling when we hit just 8 teams.
I still need a partner so I'll send some emails out to some of you gentlemen.
Sign me up... I'll be needing a partner tho.. Im pretty good....
( I'm pretty good right? )
(( Yeah, your great, your excellent!!! ))
( You sure? )
(( Definately.. go for it.. your the greatest! ))
Ok, yeah, I'm pretty good... least part of me thinks so.. ;)
It's feltch.
Nobody can feltch like me and Aunt Maudie.
Nobody.
