DETAILS:
All Right King Seat Baggers let’s start out the new 2024 – 2025 season with a Bang! We will be at a new Venue called D1 Training Chattanooga and it has turf floors so almost zero board movement which is awesome. They also have roll-up garage doors around the whole Venue so during the fall and spring months the players will be able to bring a canopy, if you choose, to sit outside and never miss the action or an announcement. We will start off running the blind draw first starting at 9am, then we will move into singles followed by BYOP. I know this format is a little different than last year, but I want to allow the players to warmup in the blind draw, then I’ll have the option to rent the entire space for singles. D1 will need half the space at 4pm-6pm so we will finish singles hopefully before time and will roll into BYOP.

TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE:
Doors open at 8AM for registration and practice

• If your ticket gets drawn, you'll need to be there to throw the bag yourself! If you need to leave you can give your ticket away but
you need to tell the King Seat baggers Coordinator first so they can ensure the player receiving the ticket doesn't already have max tickets!
• To qualify for the full pot amount, you need to participate in at least one King Seat Baggers tournament each month. If you haven't played with them in a month, you'll only be eligible for half the pot.

You MUST be an ACL member to participate in any ACL events. General ACL Membership is free and will allow you to play at any tournament but will NOT give you the $10 discount. GOLD and above memberships can be purchased through the ACL site or directly through King Seat Baggers staff at the event for $50. We highly recommend that you get a membership if you plan on playing in more than one regional a year. Get at least a gold membership, you’ll start saving money after your 5th event! We will no longer do a cash door fee or paper sign in sheet going forward we will use the ACL check in text instead. $5 from each entry fee per player will be deducted from the tournament payout percentage to help cover the venue fee!
~IMPORTANT VENUE DETAILS/RULES~
• King Seat Baggers will be partnering with Bad Dawg Food Truck this season. They will be providing food and drinks for all our events so please support them since they are supporting us!
• You are allowed to bring outside food and drinks inside with you, but ONLY WATER is allowed on the TURF FLOOR WITH A CLOSABLE LID TO PREVENT SPILLS!
• You can BYOB but please be discreet for D1’s other customers and put your drinks in a Stanley before entering.
• No smoking or Vaping allowed inside the venue please be courteous to others and step outside.
• Players will be allowed to bring canopies to sit outside the bay doors and look in during the fall and spring months but please make sure to keep the venue picked up and do not leave trash or cigarette buds on the ground. We will need everyone’s help to keep other players accountable since we will be busy running the tournament. I assure you the last thing we want to do is not allow smoking onsite!
• Please follow all venue rules! King Seat Baggers will give 1 warning to all players. Failure to comply will result in forfeiting the rest of your matches WITHOUT A REFUND! We have always given a player a refund when asked and do not want to start so please follow the rules so we can keep our new venue.
