IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR THIS SUNDAY’S HANOVER CHILI COOKOFF CO****LE TOURNAMENT!
We’re just a few days away, and this is shaping up to be an AWESOME day!
The weather looks like it may be the best we’ve ever had for the Cookoff. Live music, cold drinks, great food, FREE chili tasting all day, and a whole lot of co****le!
💰 IF WE HIT 50 TEAMS, I’M BUMPING THE GUARANTEED PAYOUT TO $2,000! 💰
So if you’ve been waiting to register, get it done! Now, a few important things everyone needs to know before Sunday:
✅ PLAYERS GET INTO THE COOKOFF FREE!
There is NO venue entry fee for co****le players.
However, ALL TEAMS MUST BE REGISTERED BEFORE SUNDAY. I’ll be printing a complete player roster that will be used at the gate for early entry. If you’re playing, get registered so your name is on that list!
⏰ PLAYER GATE OPENS AT 9:45 AM
There will be one designated entrance marked VIP / CO****LE PLAYERS ENTRANCE.
Once you’re inside, please stay near the co****le area while the event is getting set up. There will be quite a bit of vehicle traffic coming through before the general public gates open at 11:00 AM.
🪪 BRING YOUR ID!
Your name will be checked against the player roster at the gate.
This year, a 100% ID Check will be done, whether you are drinking or not. No exceptions.
🌞 CANOPIES & CHAIRS
Canopy space is limited and will be first come, first served. We should have room for roughly 8–10 canopies.
If you don’t get a spot, don’t sweat it. We have a pretty good group, and I’m sure people will share some shade.
Bring your own chair, though. Sharing those might be a little tougher. 😂
🎯 MOST IMPORTANTLY — COME READY TO HAVE FUN!
Good bags. Good people. Good food. Cold drinks. Live music. And hopefully 50+ teams battling for a $2,000 guaranteed payout!
🌶️ SEE EVERYONE SUNDAY! LET’S PACK THIS THING OUT! 🌶️
If you have ANY questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to me directly through Messenger, email, or text. I’d much rather answer the question ahead of time than have anyone confused Sunday morning.
