Do you like euchre, cheap drinks, and music that doesn't suck? Come out to the first punk rock euchre night at Paris Bar!I'm your host, Dallas McCulloch. I'm a 5th generation Michigander, and I've been playing Euchre my entire life. Every family event since before I was born involved euchre. Starting around 12 I would play tournaments at the Post Sportsman Club in my hometown of Battle Creek, where the 2nd youngest person there was my dad. These days, it's mostly reserved for up north trips or after funerals, and that's sad. In an age of digital everything, we need to get a crew of people together to drink beer, listen to sick jams, interact with real humans, and play the greatest game ever bestowed upon our lovely peninsula.
You don't have to be a "punk" to play punk rock euchre, and normies are more than welcome. I just wanted to signal that people may say the word fuck, there will be awesome music playing, and this will take place as a rock n roll dive bar. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. Just be cool, man.
So here's the low down.
1) 7pm start time. Not 7:01, but 7:00. Be registered and ready to play on time. You should probably show up a bit earlier, get a drink, make some friends.
2) You do not need to be an expert, but this is not beginners euchre. If you want to learn or need a refresher, show up early and play some hands before 7:00pm. Hell, we can even have a learners table independent from the tournament so people can learn if there's demand.
3) $10 buy in, so bring cash, and all proceeds go back towards the winners. Payouts depend on how many people are playing.
4) No table talk, or we'll throw your ass out.
5) Always screw the dealer. No farm's hand. No bottoms, etc. Normal ass euchre.
6) Every table will play around twice, so 8 hands total. After these 8 hands, you will report your score. After 8 hands, the team with the higher score will move on to the next table and the lower score team will stay put. Both teams will then become opponents with their previous partner on the next game. We will do 10 rounds of this, unless time runs out beforehand.
7) 10pm is when Karaoke starts, so we need to wrap it up by then. If we haven't made it through 10 rounds by 9:40, we'll call this as the last table, and count scores from there.
8) If you get euchred, you put $1 in a pot. This pot will be saved up for snacks/ replacing cards/ score boards, etc. or something cool. Not a money making scheme.
9) Tip your bartenders. Respect the space. Respect each other. Paris bar has been cool enough to let us use the space for this, so let's show them it's worth having.
10) If you get euchred on a loner, everybody at the table has to yell "Euchred on a loner!" and we will all point and laugh at you!
Any further questions, contact Dallas! Still fine tuning everything, but I think we have decent framework. We'll get more functional as time goes on, as long as people are into the idea.
