Place the ticket in the league's bucket for a chance to win weekly gift certificates. The contest will be running concurrently at Lou's, but the deal is 3 pints of Peroni/Blue Moon for 1 ticket.
At the end of season, we count up all the tickets, and the top four teams in the league (across all divisions) that drink the most pitchers of Peroni and Blue Moon (aka have the most tickets) this season will win a private party at Top Golf in Alexandria! This prize includes the following:
- Round-trip transportation to and from DC to Top Golf, with bus stocked full of beer

It's any team's prize at this point... cheers!
