2025 Tournaments
Hungry, Hungry Hoopla
First there were Vikings, then a journey into space, a trek through the wild, the busy city, and now we chow down on some food. Ken Lewandowski and Vicki McKinley are back with a food-centric themed tournament. Throughout the weekend, there will be games that are part of the tournament. The better you do in each game the more points you will get.
Crokinole turns 6!
Crokinole is back for the sixth consecutive Gaming Hoopla . On Saturday, there will be a casual play session where all forms of Crokinole like flicking and cues Crokinole and even 5-Hole Crokinole which is an absolute blast playing 4 player. And Crokinole skills will be tested by Chicago and Milwaukee's best Crokinolers in the Crokinole Singles Tournament
