The cometition was fierce, the remarks witty, and the Bohs were cold and plentifull. In the end, Magnum emerged victorious over the largest gathering of croquet proffesionals that the world has ever seen. But as you know, the best thing about the end of the competition is that there are only 364 days untill the next one. See you then...
The Lowdown
The National Bohemian Croquet Invitational is one of the premier events in the Rogers Family Killer Croquet league, and the part of the "Triple Crown" of Croquet. It is an event that draws fierce competition, even fiercer Boasting, and the finest class of Drunken spectators that Millersville Maryland, and the world at large can provide. Some in the sporting world have refered to it as legendary. And though these world class athletes will be bringing an appetite for destruction, bring your appetite as well. Some Burgers and dogs will be on the grill for lunch, but feel free to bring a dish, especialy dessert, I love dessert. Also, be sure to bring some bathing attire, as there is a poolside bar, and possibly pool vollyball as well.

A good quantity of Ice cold Natty's will be on hand, But they will probably not be enough to quench the thirst of the throngs of Dapper Dan Fans that are sure to be swarming the fields. A word of warning, all beers other than Natty Boh will be subject to taste test and approval by Dapper Dan. Be sure to bring a bathing suit as well, as all the action can be watched from the comfort of the pool.

This is an opportunity for the best of the best to prove their worth the Rogers way, with a big mallet. As a spectator, you will get to see the finest, most handsome, and physically fit Croquet Superstar in the world, Dapper Dan, in action with his fellow proffesionals. You could however, have a shot at proving yourself worthy to play in the presence of these world class athletes, if you are foolish enough to think yourself up to it. The Greater Crouquet Council for Great Croquet, has deemed it appropriate to hold an amateur play-in round this year. This gives you, a common and lowly peasant, a chance to occupy the same court as the proven proffesionals that have already secured their position on the field. But as there are a limited number of openings in the proffesional game, you should email the one and only Dapper Dan, and secure a spot in the play-in round. A proper roster, and players page will be posted once I recieve the information that I need from these elusive superstars.
RSVP
Consider this your invitation. Break out a pen and paper, or a computer I suppose, if thats your thing, and fire off a letter or Email to yours truly, Dapper Dan. In this letter, tell me why you think that a lowly pawn such as yourself should be allowed to witness the sport of kings, played at the highest levels ever before in the history of the world.
