Outback News and Standings

We do have a special night coming on Wednesday December 9th - rumors are swirling of snow being brought in to the Outback specifically for a snowball fight! Keep your eyes peeled for more information and a schedule, but until then SOMEONE CHALLENGE SOMEONE FOR AN OPAL. In non-Opal or tournament news, let’s talk Badass… the Badass Board, that is! No one has done anything in a week on the board. MALLORY IS STILL WINNING EVERYTHING. Catering News: It’s November and we’re thankful for Tilly’s II at Seaside!
