There is a four day event involving all things hockey. As part of that event there is a Chexx tournament. The tournament organizers have already found a hotel nearby that will give travelling players a discount. There's prize money involved and I'm working to see that random prizes and other special things are included to make it worth your while and make it interesting.
The event is in support of the NHL and NHLPA's "Hockey Fights Cancer."
I am volunteering to help out and have already begun reaching out across the US and Canada. I promote table hockey in general. I believe a rising tide lifts all boats, so while I'm not a Chexx player per se, I want to help. I put together data on all the boards and tournaments and see that Chexx tournaments and whatnot has not faired well of late. So, I'm doing what I can.
Here is a copy of a letter from another post I found in another discussion thread. I've since communicated with Justin Goldman and am now working to support the event. Here's the website link, mind you there's a lot of other hockey information there so its a little tough to sift through at this time. www.thehockeyguild.com/
What the event needs right now are Chexx boards. Can anyone loan a board? Heck, that might be a tax deduction since your loaning it to a charity event.
Message me if you want to get on the email list.
I'm known across the US and Canada by my name and pseudonym, "Sabre_in_Virginia." You can email me by adding it to @ Yahoo! dot com.
Here's the letter and thanks to Chexx player and Representative, "CraigCole5" out of St. Louis who posted it. After the letter I've cut and pasted some tournament information from The Hockey Guild's website.

The tourney is on!!! May 3 & 4 (Sat. and Sun) at Big Bear Ice Arena in Denver, Colorado.
NABHA official rules and regulations. Juicy prizes to be won.
AS OF NOW, the registration fee is only $25. This is just one of many events taking place during our "Quest for the Crown" charity adult hockey tournament. The tournament is an officially sanctioned fundraiser for the NHL & NHLPA's Hockey Fights Cancer foundation. The tournament WILL be sponsored, but not sure by who just yet. It may just be sponsored by The Hockey Guild.
We have 2 mint condition Super Chexx tables on location as of now and will try to acquire 2 more. We have plenty of time to run a solid tournament and obviously this tournament is open to the general public, so while the competition may not be the best, if anyone is interested in attending the tournament, please let me know and I can help with travel arrangements. We are in the process of acquiring a hotel near the rink that will give us great rates for out-of-state teams.
I would like to get some help from some of you hardcore bubble boys regarding how to make this tournament an officially sanctioned NABHA tournament and get some insight on how to best run the tournament. We will definitely have some pretty awesome prizes.

Thanks again and look forward to hearing from more of you!
