4 Bushels of Crabs + 5 bags of Old Bay Chips + Old Bay Cheese Balls + Free Pizzas + $2 Miller High Lifes + Craig back to harassing the Trivia Godess = Victory for the BTSH Community.

Crabfest was a huge success that brought the league back to Ace Bar. We packed the place with crab eaters and non-crab eaters, making the regular season finale weekend feel like a throw back to “olden times” when we all cherished the post-game antics at the bar as much as putting the biscuit in the basket.

The first year I joined the league I knew BTSH was something special that no other sports league could match. When we all get together at the bar putting back 12 ounces with opposing players after a game, it makes life on the courts that much more fun the next week because we all know each other. Giving up a weekend to deliver all that deliciousness and new camaraderie I saw happening this past Sunday was the least I could do for the league that has given me so much more the past seven years. The crabs were consumed, the pizzas were devoured, and everyone had fun. More people now know what BTSH is about because of Crabfest and the events put on this year. Thank you to everyone who helped out!

And your Three Stars for Crabfest 2016….

THIRD STAR
Julie K

Julie K for claiming she ate 28 of those clawed creatures. No one came close and I think she wasn’t lying.

SECOND STAR (Also The First Annual Suz Rookie Award)
Brad S

Brad S for enthusiastically giving up after 3 crabs in his first Crabfest and still throwing in an awesome tip for the cleanup crew. All this while hooking up your Crabfest host up with multiple beers.

FIRST STAR
Justin M

I like to recommend to new pickers to stockpile some crab so you have a good chunk of meat in your hand before you put it in your mouth. Kind of like eating a handful of popcorn instead of just one kernel.  Its just better. Justin M was king of the stockpile this year not only because he didn’t eat any until he had 8-10 crabs worth of meat, but because he took that bowl of meat, poured some melted butter over it, and then shared it with everyone before taking any himself. And he flew all the way back from Wisconsin early just to attend and partake in this selfless act.  Real BTSH Hero.

P.S. Don’t be a dick in the playoffs. Good luck to all and keep it chill.
