Where the Irons Crosses Grow Team Tournament Redux
I am doing a feasibility study on renewing the ‘Where the Iron Crosses Grow’ team tournament here in Kernersville NC. Because of limited space, I am considering running the event several times a year. Some of the unique features would be no entry fee, live streaming, and a team system that brackets skill levels with each other so all are welcome and can be competitive. I have purchased a small office space (would accommodate around 16 Players) that I plan on finishing into a small dedicated venue if the response from the public is strong. Located the building are several AirBnB’s, a restaurant bar , plus many local bars/breweries/food trucks within 200 feet. Stay tuned for updates.
