About
The Chatgamers Euchre Tournaments started in 1999, when we all played cards at Lycos.com. Four friends were playing cards one night online and discussed "how cool it would be if we could get together and play cards in person." The group elected me (Bill) to set the tournament up and at that time Candy W. from Ohio co-hosted. We held the first Chatgamers Tourney in Windsor, Ontario, Canada at a hotel downtown, and 30 players attended. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to do an annual tournament. Year number 2 was held in Toledo, Ohio where 116 players attended. We held a mini tournament in the middle of one year, hence the reason the annual tourneys seem to be off by one year.
Years 4 & 5, were held in Bowling Green, Ohio at a hotel were we all stayed and played cards. In the early years we only played for trophies, and had a Spades, Hearts, & Double Elimination Euchre Tournaments. Years 6-9 were held in Lima, Ohio, and then Candy decided to bow out of helping with the tournaments.
Maria graciously accepted being the co-host of the tournaments and we moved them to Michigan. We held our first Michigan tourney in Monroe, Mi and went from Trophies to paying Ca$h at the tourneys. After Monroe, we moved closer to Maria's area in and around Flint, Mi.
We had one at a hotel in Flint, two at the Croatian Club, 1 at a now closed bowling alley, 2 at a Bar called The Captain's Quarters in Burton, Mi and the rest at B's Bowling Lanes.
In 2015 we decided to do a Halloween Weekend Tournament, when the man that did the Niagara Falls tournament wasn't going to be able to do it that year. We had 64 players show up for the Halloween tourney. We decide the next year in 2016 that we had all the decorations we might as well continue doing the Halloween weekend tourney each October.
When we went to hold our 2019 Halloween Tournament we found out that B's Bowling Lanes decided to go to a Poker Room where we normally had the tournaments. We had to find a new place and that happened to be a bar called the "Captains Quarters". We welcomed 60 Players to that tournament but knew we would never fit the 90 Players we normally get for the summer tournaments.
We cancelled both the tournaments in 2020 because of the Covid-19 and not wanting to have the players exposed. We decided in the Summer of 2021 to go back to having the tournaments again.
We met for our 23rd Annual Chatgamers Summer Euchre Tournaments at the Captain's Quarters Lounge. Our 5th Annual Halloween Tourney we ended up going back to B's Bowling and Banquet, we held our 24th Annual Summer Tourney there on July 15 & 16, 2022 and we held our 6th Annual Halloween Tourney on October 21 & 22, 2022 at B's Bowling.
We had our 25th Summer Tourney on July 14 & 15, 2023 at B's Bowling and Banquet in Flint, MI. and just finished our 7th and Last Halloween Tourney at B's Bowling and Banquet in Flint, Mi. We will continue to hold our Annual Summer Tourneys but having 2 tournaments a year is getting to be a bit too much for both of us.
Our 26th Annual Summer Chatgamers Tournaments will be held on July 19 & 20, 2024 at B's Bowling and Banquet. We have room for 100 Paid Players. Please send your entry fees in by July 12, 2024!!
We look forward to each Summer Tournament, welcoming many New Players each year, and getting to see our "Euchre Family" again. They are like family to all of us, many have been to most of our Michigan Tourneys.
We play a 12 game Progressive Tourney on Friday Evening cost is $25.00 plus $1.00 Loner Pot, a 10 game Partners Tourney starting at 10:30am on Saturday Morning $20.00, and a 12 game Progressive Tourney on Saturday Night $20.00 plus $1.00 Loners Pot all for $65.00 for entire Tourney. When you send in your Entrance Form, let Maria know how many Tournaments you are interested in Playing 1,2, or all 3.

Partners Rules
PARTNERS RULES
OFFICIAL RULES AND REGULATIONS – Chatgamers Euchre Tourneys - 10 Games
The Deal
Deal cards face up until a player receives any Jack, that player becomes the dealer, deal proceeds clockwise. Cards must be properly shuffled. The deck is then offered for a "cut" to the player seated to the RIGHT. A cut card is provided and must be used to cover the bottom card of the deck during dealing. Cards may be dealt in groups of 2's and 3', or 1 at a time. It is always Dealer's choice as to the preference of deal style; however, that person's deal style must be maintained during the round. If four passes occur, a second round of bidding commences. If passed by everyone else then the "Stick the Dealer" rule does apply!
The turned down card is placed face up at the bottom of the deck, so everyone can see what was turned down, the slide under deck when trump is called. COUNT YOUR CARDS!
Bidding
The ONLY LANGUAGE which is allowed during the bidding is: "PASS", "PICK IT UP", or ALONE. The bidder may not use descriptive phrases that give clues such as "Let's try clubs", "I think I can", and so on. A warning is given (for the first time), and then for subsequent offenses, the offending team loses its right to bid and the non-offending team is awarded two points.
On 2nd round bidding, the bidder must state their intentions by saying the name of the suit (The turned down suit cannot be called). Another player may request (order) the dealer to pick up the up card without holding any in their hand. A "NATURAL TRUMP" is NOT required. The dealer's partner may tell his partner to "Pick it up" and will NOT be required to go alone.
ALONE (LONERS)
A team declaring a Loner must clearly state this intention by saying "ALONE", "I'm going alone" or "Stay Home". Please do not use phrases such as "I'm trying it", or "Sit this one out, partner", "It's all mine," etc. When a player declares a Loner, his/her partner MUST drop their hand, face down on the table, in the MIDDLE position, (not to their left or right side). The partner is not allowed to look at the kitty during a loner attempt.
"Defensive loners" (bidding a Loner of your own against the opponents' Loner) are NOT allowed.
PLAY OF CARDS
Cards are NOT to be tossed to the middle of the table!! Instead, each player makes their play by placing a card in front of them on the table. (Form a " square ") Then each person pushes their card to the winner of each trick. The person winning the trick neatly puts it face down in their area. The person that takes the trick must retrieve the trick and store it in front of them.
DO NOT push a trick that you have taken to your partner for storage so the tricks will be all together. Each player must rake in their own trick! This must be done to enable the director to prove a renege! (The trick in front of you will be evidence to what suite you trumped)
If a team member bids alone, his partner may retrieve the tricks.
TRAMMING (claiming multiple winning cards in your hand at once) is NOT allowed! Cards must be played completely out!
A card laid is a card played
TRUMP CUBE
You cannot ask "What is Trump"? The dealer will have a trump cube, and once trump is named by anyone, the dealer will discard and turn the cube to the appropriate suit and place it on top of the kitty. When the hand is over, the cube is then passed to the next dealer.
Scoring
* If the bidding team takes at least 3 tricks in a hand they shall receive 1 point.
* If the bidding team takes all 5 tricks, they will receive 2 points.
* If one team member goes alone and takes all 5 tricks, that team shall receive 4 points.
*If a team member goes alone and takes 3 or 4 tricks, that team shall receive 1 point.
* If bidding team fails to take 3 tricks (Euchred) the opposing team receives 2 points.
* If bidding team is Euchred on a lone hand, the opposing team receives 2 points.
