Battle of the Benches Event Details:

So here's a quick breakdown of what will be happening on Saturday.

Everyone will be meeting at Baseline at 12pm (spectators are welcome to join - so pull in). There will be 35 invited competitors and 5 wildcard entries - 40 in total. Each contestant will be given R300 worth of playing chips and then we'll divide players into 2 groups of 20. Each group will have a bookie who will manage the betting money. Each group will have 2 hours to mission with their bench to various spots and battle by placing bets and landing tricks. The 5 dudes with the most money from each group will then proceed to the final round where the 2 groups merge and the stakes will be raised.

After the final round, we'll return to Baseline for everyone to cash in their chips and celebrate with a few beers!

We'll be announcing the competitors and will be releasing more information and rules during the week, so stay tuned for more details.

So get busy winning by submitting your wildcard entries or enter our viewer competition by commenting and posting your images and videos!

Here's a recap from last years event - was so much fun - join us again this year!
