FALL 2024 SEASON OF LAGER LEAGUE

FULL DETAILS:

On league nights, the first floor Game Room of the Cinderlands Warehouse is reserved for Lager League members. We drink from exclusive league steins, get first access to new lager releases, and try to collect as many points as possible playing our friends and rivals on our house games: 

  • Bocce on our custom indoor court (up to 4v4)

  • Foosball on our Tornado Classic table (up to 2v2)

  • Dome hockey on our Super CHEXX Pro NHL table (1v1)

  • Cornhole on our custom Cinderlands boards (2v2)

  • Shuffleboard on our custom Cinderlands tables (2v2)

  • Ping Pong on our HEAD Summit table (1v1)

We’ll also rotate in weekly specials like hammerschlagen (stump), stein hoisting, giant beer pong, Mario Kart and Hop Run Flip Cup. Special games subject to change and may not be announced prior to league night.

We keep score and put out a current ranking after each league night via mailing list as well as on a physical leaderboard at the Cinderlands Warehouse. Imagine strolling in with friends or a special someone to put a few back while your name rests gloriously atop the Lager League board behind the bar. IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU (YES, YOU)!

Every week, winners earn prizes like Cinderlands and Lager League gear and gift cards to our favorite bars, restaurants, and experiences around town. At the end of the season, grand prizes will go to our top-ranked league members.

Every league member is automatically tracked in individual rankings. You also have the option to sign up with a partner to compete in doubles rankings. If you and a partner register together, your scores will be combined in doubles ranking. That doesn’t mean you have to stick together and play the same games with each other all night; it would help your doubles scores more to compete against others and expand your circle. 

Some games are 1v1 while others are team efforts. There will be more details on scoring on league night, but for now what you should know is that you will receive some points for playing and losing a game, whether you lose individually or with a team, and you will receive more points for playing and winning a game, whether you win individually or with a team. Everyone on a team that wins or loses takes the win or loss. The points for playing and losing encourage showing up and getting involved; being there every week gives you a points advantage. The points for winning are for glory and can more than make up the difference between being there all ten sessions or not.

Scoring is done on the honor system. You pick up your own scorecard each week, keep your own score throughout the night, and submit your card at the end of the night. The scorecard is set up to balance encouraging attendance, rewarding victory, spreading competitors around to all the available games, and keeping play moving. Your scorecard and signs around the room will convey critical information, like the game rules, number of competitors, winning score, etc.

Scoring is strictly restricted to games started after 6 PM and completed before 9 PM. You may pick up your scorecard up to 15 minutes before the start of the session, but no earlier, and you may not score games you start before 6 PM.

We practice open play and fair rotation. Nobody from Cinderlands will insert themselves to manage waiting lists for games, length of games, or other matters involving flow or speed of play. We ask that every league member practice the golden rules: everyone gets a turn, don’t hog the table, make new friends and cheers your neighbor (even if one of you is kicking the other’s ass.)

Registration is always open for this season of Lager League.
