2013 AAU Bingo Rules

With a few Minnesota AAU teams opening up their season this weekend, its time for the game craze sweeping the nation, AAU Bingo!  For those of you new to the game, its all about the sights and sounds of the spring and summer basketball season.  This year we're playing blackout rules.   You have to fill the card to win.  These have to be seen in a gym at an AAU tournament unless otherwise noted.  First one to finish their card gets to take a Monday AM red-eye flight home after Las Vegas in July and work the same day.

If you see any items on the game card or other events that you feel should get credit, tweet them to me (@tchoopsczar) with the hashtag #AAUBingo to get credit.  I'll retweet them for everyone's amusement.

Here's the game card.

Row 1 (Coaching Accessories)
These must be seen while the coach is coaching

• Coach wearing any type of hat or headgear
