Grudge Matches

The Hacks invite you all to participate in a little something we’re trying, to foster a little good in our local communities. At every Hacks Northern Stronghold event at least 1 callout is issued for a best of 5 match of an agreed upon format, with $50 on the line to be donated to the charity of the winner’s choice. With the Hacks’ roots being in Old School, charity is very important to us and we invite anyone who feels like engaging in this practice to start calling out your friends in support of your local charities. Doing a Grudge Match? We’d love to hear about it! Email your story and some pics to hacksmtg@gmail.com and we’ll put them on our website, hacksmtg.com!
