We've decided to give them another a shot this year, using the Yahtzee format, and hope you'll join us! Registration for this event is $25 per person. Registration can be done in person the morning of the event or online (preferred) at https://sumospeed.bigcartel.com/product/2018-yahtzee-cruise-registration

Online registration will close on Sunday, July 8th, to allow time for the shirts to be made. NO SHIRT ORDERS WILL BE TAKEN AFTER JULY 8th! For those unfamiliar with the game of Yahtzee, here is a very simple tutorial of the rules, our staff can also help you at each stop. https://www.wikihow.com/Play-Yahtzee
