Tournament History

In the tournaments first year, 9 teams participated in an open and 35
and older bracket. The level of competition and quality of players in
both brackets is as good as any tournament. The TPMBT has attracted
teams from Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Mexico.
The Austin Knights (Austin, TX) have been one of the most consistent
teams in the tournament winning the Open championship 4 out of 8
years. The other championship teams hailed from Albuquerque and El
Paso, respectively. In the over 35 division, the team from Holloman
AFB has been the most dominant. However, the quality of players and
teams strengthen every year. Out of all 28 teams that participated in
2007, everyone was very competitive.
In 2008, the tournament will be as competitive as ever. Familiar teams
will participate as well as new and hungry ones eager for the title!
