This Saturday will see the third annual Maovember corn hole classic at Irish Volunteer / Hockey Bar. Expect plenty of excitement as sixteen teams try to toss their way to victory, and prizes, in this single elimination tournament. There are still a half-dozen spaces available: book yours by contacting Trish Smith at trishsmithus@gmail.com. The entry fee is rmb100 per team, all funds to Maovember.

Irish Volunteer’s Zach Lewison and Hockey Bar’s Curtis Dracz will provide officiating and scoring while Tom McCabe returns with color commentary and player interviews. Orbis rep and Irish Volunteer co-owner George Smith will throw out the first bag and explain how Maovember funds are used for cataract surgery for elderly men in rural China.

There will also be a return of the Pickle Zach’s — moonshine chased by pickle juice — for rmb25, all funds to Maovember.

And there will be happy hour throughout the tournament, music by acoustic funk band Dirty City (buy their CD and half the money goes to Maovember), and lots more.

The tournament starts at 2 PM sharp, so it’s best for players to get there early, especially if they want to practice. See the poster below for the venue address.
