A humble brag:

We’re pretty darn good at running our cool tournaments which is why you’ll get lots of information ahead of the tournament date (us Chicks love to communicate!) and on game day; you’ll be in and out in just around 3 hours. We Chicks know how to get sh*t done 🙂 so you can get to your icy cold drink at Starbucks (or a bar lol) faster.
