Meet Bern, Our Bracket Brainiac

Bern, our competitive nephew from Princeton, crafts the perfect team pairings. His tournament rules add just the right spice to our gatherings:

• Dizzy Bat Bonus: Teams can spin around ten times and chug a beverage to slash 5 points from the opposing team’s score.
• Match Play: Best 2 of 3 to 21 (net scoring).
• First Toss Advantage: Lower seeds throw first.

Creative Team Names

Our team names are part of our tradition and storytelling. For example:

• Bump Set Spike: For our volleyball enthusiasts.
• McLaurin Monsters: Named after two relatives.
• Pea Casserole Power: Inspired by a kitchen mishap.
