WHISKEY 10S TOURNAMENT

Put on by the South Side Irish, this tournament is a great way to kick off the season. It's happening on March 13th, 2010.

They lure teams into the tournament with promises of Whiskey, but this is usually a lie. However, they always come through with an awesome afterparty!

UPDATE: North Shore goes 4-0 and wins Whiskey 10s! (Bonus, the South Side Irish came through with the whiskey this year!)
