Please feel free to check out the other links on this board for the prior "Burlington Bubble Classics" or "Icehouse Invitational" tournaments to see how I run my events and to see the predominantly positive feedback these tourneys have always generated. If anyone has any questions or is interested in entering this tournament, please respond to the message, or you can email me directly at: [e-mail]. Or check out my website @ www.njbubblehockey.org.

Thanks, and hope to see some old faces, and some new ones, 10/24/09!!!

I am throwing down the gauntlet - I am winning my own event for the 1st time ever this year! No more 2nd place finishes! I know Jeremy will have something to say to that (he does his talkin' under the dome!) - anyone else?!?

Cheers!!! JG

I am a new comer and would like to enter your tournment...How?

[TonynUtah]

Awesome! Its been a few years since I've been able to make it to Jersey for one of the tournaments but I would encourage any and all to give it a try or come back try some bubble. These guys run a top notch tournament and they bring some of the best players you'll ever run in to. I'm checking now to see if I can make the trip. A new Restaurant and coaching make it hard but I'm going to try. Also, I'll be looking to start up tournaments out her in Utah for the west in the near future. Maybe some day we can test the east. a big maybe.

Tony - great to hear you are at least thinking about coming on out in October! Of course you are always welcome - we'd love to have you. I am up for the East vs West challenge, but of course that would involve a lot of air travel one way or the other. I can swing it, but I know a bunch of guys can't $-wise. Don't give up on it though - sweet idea! Hope to see you in October!

Caz44 - anyone is free to sign up and enter the event. I usually collect the $20 fee at the door the day of the tourney, but may have to have people pre-pay if I get the 24 players I'm hoping for. For now, just send me an email @ [e-mail] and I'll give you all the details for the upcoming tourney and I'll mark you down as a "probable." If you definitely want in I'll add your name to my list and we'll go from there.

I'll post more about the event here on Chexxfan and on my website (http://www.njbubblehockey.org/) as we get closer to the date, but send me an email and I'll give you the rundown. Thanks for the interest - look forward to seeing you in October.

***Just as an FYI to some of the newcomers out there. My events will feature some out-of-this-world players (PS - I'm pretty darn good, but have never won any of my own tourneys!), but we'll also have brand new players and some guys who just want to play bubble and drink beer all day! After a round robin where you'll play 6-10 random picked opponents, I seed all the players in their own skill flights based on W/L records, so that you play a separate tournament at the end of the round robin with players of similar skill levels. It keeps it fun for everyone, and I give out A, B, and C flight trophies at the end. Some of the best action and series end up in the B and C flights every time. So don't feel you won't be able to compete or have fun - I assure you that you will!!

GREAT TOURNEY JG, HAD A GOOD TIME!!! NOT BAD FOR A FIRST TIMER. BEWARE OF THE RHINO, HE IS GOING TO BUFFALO

[JG]

Thanks Rhino - you damnn near won the "C" title just like you predicted! Ryan joined my league a month ago after never having played bubble hockey. He's one of my softball buddies. He stated on day 1 - "I'm winning the "C" Flight of the October tournament." He came within a goal of doing just that.

Below are links to my website - www.njbubblehockey.org - with an article about the tournament and Photos from the day's action. Congrats to "thefuture..." - Jimmy Schwartz won the whole thing!!! Read all about it!!! Anyone want a piece of him?!?
