Sorry about the lack of updates the past few days – I’ve been busy, busy ,busy with the arcade and other things in life. It seems like when one machine breaks down they all decide to take a trip with it. I can just say at least most machines carry a 1 year warranty. Those that don’t deserve harsh criticism (90 days, are you flippin’ kidding me?) but that’s a fun subject for a later time.
Right now, BBH Online players have another tournament to look forward to, called Jerad’s Choice. Jerad Berg 
is the winner of the recent BBH World Championship and he has picked his own tourney to hold for November. Like usual, all you need to do is find a BBH Online machine and give it a ‘shot’ (har har) in the online tournament mode and you have a chance at winning $500, with additional payouts in smaller amounts going out to the other 99 placers. So your chance of winning something at the very least is quite good! Hit the post break for more information on the tourney from the press release. In the meantime, I know that we can expect to hear about Big Buck Safari Online tournaments shortly, so stay tuned.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Jerad’s Choice is a True Champion’s Tournament
The November National Big Buck Hunter® Pro Tournament has been hand selected by Jerad Berg, the 2008 Big Buck Hunter Pro® World Champion. Jerad won the top prize of $10,000 and hoisted Pappy’s Jug. Now he’s in charge and the 2-Trek Tournament site selection was decided by the champ himself.
With the October contest behind us, we might see some of the “Doe Of the Dead” winners on top of Jerad’s Choice leaderboard. The top five October National Tournament winners were:
1 – Michael Jastrzembski
2 – Matthew Budzisz
3 – Keenan Hughes
4 – Trevor Floren
5 – Nick Rossi
“Jerad Berg has a good chance at winning the November contest, he created it!” joked Dave Snipes, CoinUp Customer Service Manager. He continues, “Jerad actually made a huge jump from 36th place to 11th in the final day of the Doe of the Dead tournament, he wants to prove that he can master the National Tournaments as well as the World Championship.”
Jerad’s Choice runs from November 7th – November 29th. Make sure to get to an online game and put up your high score. The top prize is $500 and the top 50 spots pay out. Plus there is a bonus prize for the 75th and 100th places.
