COMING UP AT THE ONE NIGHT ONLY JAMZ TOURNAMENT, Saturday Night, December 5, 2026:
The "Queen of Hearts" (QOH) will be a featured side event at all of the The Jamz Tournaments. You can click "Schedule of Events" to see all of the upcoming events for 2026 and 2027.
The QOH consists of a game board containing 52 standard playing cards + 2 Jokers, all randomly assigned to the board, by the manufacturer or myself, placed upside down, and sealed under a tape coating. No one knows what cards are where, not even myself. To start the board, I will usually assign a prize value to 3 cards: the Queen of Hearts, Joker #1, and Joker #2.
The rules have slight variations per event, but for The Jamz Tournament special coming up on December 5, 2026, which is the "ONE NIGHT ONLY JAMZ TOURNAMENT," here are the basic rules. Please note, these are partial rules. Complete rules will be available at the Tournament.
Because the QOH game can take a long time until all three prize cards are revealed, to save time, an abbreviated version of the game will be in play to start. All clubs and diamonds will be removed from the deck of cards prior to the board being created. That will leave 13 hearts, 13 spades, and the 2 Jokers = 28 cards total, instead of the full deck of 54 cards. The prize cards remain the same: Queen of Hearts, Joker #1, and Joker #2.
Also, the "Future Carryover Pool" currently sits at $3,460.00, and $3,000.00 will be utilized to seed the QOH game board. And from entry fees, $2,000.00 will be funded and added in. That brings the starting pool up to a clear record of $5,000.00. It is projected that with additional bonus ticket sales, another $3,000.00 will be added in. If so, a mammoth projected final pool of $8,000.00! If so, the prize card ESTIMATED values would be as follows.
Queen Of Hearts: $400.00 PER PIN KNOCKED DOWN!
Joker #1: $200.00 PER PIN KNOCKED DOWN!
Joker #2: $200.00 PER PIN KNOCKED DOWN!
For the ONE NIGHT ONLY JAMZ TOURNAMENT, everyone gets (1) FREE BONUS TICKET, but you can buy additional BONUS TICKETSS at a cost of $10.00 each. AND THESE TICKETS ARE GOOD FOR BOTH BONUS GAMES, one of which is the QOH, the other of which is the JAMZ MOONLIGHT SHOOTOUT. (Details on that will be posted on Facebook and e-mailed to Team Captains).
For all BONUS TICKET sales, approximately 75% of sales increases the prize pools; 10% goes to the FCP, and 15% goes to Tournament Take.
At 6:40pm, Bonus Ticket drawings will start. First up will be the QOH game, and the goal is to get your ticket called, find a prize card, and if so, you get to bowl for the prize in the 6th frame of Game #1 on a PER PIN KNOCKED DOWN VALUE! A strike is not needed to win big.
Please note, these are partial rules. Full rules will be at the tournament site.
