The Bozeman, Montana City League Tournament was held April 8-11, 2010 to determine which teams will represent Rocky Mountain Gaming during the 2010 VNEA International Championships in Las Vegas in May. This tournament was held at the Molly Brown in Bozeman.
The Bozeman VNEA Leagues has always been about winning the tournament at the end of league to win the trip to Las Vegas. The team that wins gets their entry paid into the team event, their hotel paid, and travel money besides winning money from the tournament itself. This has always been an honor to the teams that you win your expenses paid. You can always go in singles or as a team if you desire to but most do not. Having Rocky Mountain Gaming pay the teams way has been the ultimate prize and the spoils of the league season. The Bozeman City tournament sends two teams with their expenses paid. We would like to thank Rocky Mountain Gaming Don Lutes and Richard Petty. This is Don Lutes’ last year as league operator, Rich will be taking over in the fall of 2010.
Cats Paw #5 won the event and the other team going to Vegas will be Eagles #3 consisting of Mike Akerlow, John Geer, Jon Kaphammer, Jason Lucht and Charlie Smith
