Yeee Haaa! Big Buck Hunters from around the World to Descend on Downtown Minneapolis to Crown a Champion

GLEN ELLYN, Ill., Oct. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Buck Hunters from around the world will be grabbing their plastic guns for the Big Buck Hunter World Championship in downtown Minneapolis. This unique world championship brings the thrill of hunting wild Bucks to the urban forests of Americas cities, in a no holds barred shoot-em' up to claim their share of over $67,000.

The two-day tournament will be held October 24^th-25^th at The Pourhouse in downtown Minneapolis, putting the best Buck Hunters from around the world head to head to win the $15,000 grand prize. While only the best sharp-shooter will walk away a champion, Big Buck Hunter finalists will be competing for a purse of $67,000.

For the ladies who like to shoot a Buck or two, a $5,000 award awaits the winner of the fourth annual Ladies Tournament. Should one lucky lady win both tournaments, she would take home the big bucks, a record sum of $20,000. Play Mechanix President George Petro said "What could be better than beer, big bucks and plastic guns? The Pourhouse will be the place to be this October!"

The journey began August 18 as players competed in the qualifying tournament at their local connected Big Buck HD arcade games throughout the US, Canada and Australia. In order to secure one of the 64 coveted spots, players needed to achieve top scores on each of the five animal adventures in the game.

The Championship event will be broadcast live on twitch.tv.
