Spades Tourney Details: 🃏
What’s a good Cookout without some (not so) friendly games of Spades? 😎 And to top it off, the winning team walks away with a minimum $100 prize! 🤑

Here’s how it goes:

🎟️ Each member of a team will purchase a Spades Tourney Entry ticket in addition to their General Admission tickets.

✅ Once you arrive at the Cookout, speak to a PLAY Social staff member to register your team with your name and your partner’s name. Head to the Dedicated Spades areas to play another team.

♠️ Spades Rules:

1️⃣ Teams play to 300 points
2️⃣ First hand bids itself
3️⃣ Big Joker > Little Joker > Deuce of Diamonds > Deuce of Spades
4️⃣ If you call a reneg, you have to call the specific book for it to count
5️⃣ Once a full game is completed, report the results to a PLAY Social staff member. Your team will be awarded one point on the Leaderboard
6️⃣ Continue playing other teams as the Cookout progresses, you can even rematch teams you already played
