2010 T-Max Washer Pitching Invitational

First off, I'd like to apologize for the extremely delayed post for the 2010 TMWPI.  Once again, it was a huge success and I'd like to thank everyone that participated.  We couldn't make it what it is without the unique collection of personalities that show up each year.

For the second straight year, we had 32 teams compete in a double elimination washer tournament.  FYI, you can click on any of these pictures to get a higher quality download.

The spirits were high for the 2010 TMWPI and for the 4th consecutive year, the weather was perfect.  Unbelievable.  Thanks & praise to the washer gods.

Report to Fred with your entry fee at the check-in table.  Cash Only, pal.

 Gather round players, we are drawing teams/match-ups, explaining the rules, and answering questions.

Breaking down the rules for everybody.  Listen up to avoid headaches.  #realtalk - Also, notice the TMAX Cup in Nick O's hand.  Bringing the trophy back to the battle grounds for another chance to defend its honor.  I know you enjoyed it's aura occupying your home Nick but, give it up.

O.W.L. had a nice day.  Don't sleep on these dudes

These chairs were a hit!

Fritz & Dillon are team "4th" although they didn't place 4th.

Circus scene.  It gets carnie-like throughout the day

Armstrong and Justin.  Team Dirty Dog.  Or The Pitchers formally known as Manscapers

Father/Daughter combo, Team Coon-Ass had a really nice day.  Definitely the "Cinderella Team" of the tournament.

2007 TMWPI Champions, Dr. 5 & WOW.  Brad & Scott.  Always good to play washers with these guys.

Just as important as the washer pitching is the food.  Notice the boudin on the table.  Mmmm.

Lance & Greg.  Make sure to participate in Gregs annual Washer Tournament, Wash-Out Autism.  It's a great time and it's for a great cause.  Check there website here ---> http://tinyurl.com/6db8jyt

There only two things that usually trump an invitation to play in the TMWPI, a wedding or your favorite college football team having a big game that day.

Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo.  Not looking to amused.  Must be getting mentally ready for the battle that lies ahead.

Haaaay Jamie! - reppin for team N-D-CUP

Half of your skillz.

Beer Can Chickens.  Delicious.

Even though the Ice Cream guy wasn't competing, he was the biggest winner on this day.  He cleaned up on Acorn Lane.  I guarantee he has is marked on his calendar for next year.

ITZ - In The Zone.  Nick is focused on defending his title.

Andy & Ashley are all smiles.

Carnie-Shit

This raccoon was playing while team Coon-Ass was playing.  Ironic eh?

Team Coon-Ass with a big victory over Boo & Russ.

Simple concept.  Any female that is not playing in the tournament gets a chance to win $50 by pitching 1 washer.  Closest pitch gets $50 bucks.  Had no idea how much fun this would be.

"Who do I make the autograph out to?"

Winner Winner Winner

Its happening in a major way.  Big games here.

Not too bad considering they competed with 32 other teams.

ETX finished in 3rd place.  Well deserved.  Money + Trophies.

O.W.L. 2nd Place - Grinding all day until the end.

N-D-CUP defeats O.W.L. for their 1st TMWPI Championship.  And they did it in very convincing fashion.  Glenn is chugging beer out of the TMAX as all champions must do.

Billy's turn.  Chug Chug Chug.

And of course, 1st place team N-D-CUP showing off the spoils after getting doused in a champagne shower.
