The celebrity-packed competition featured 32 teams of athletes and celebrities vying for the title as part of an effort to support a fundraising initiative for the Pro Bowler's major charity platform, Tuck's R.U.S.H. for Literacy. The action took take place at Slate NYC, one of the Big Apple's premier billiards clubs.


This is the 2nd year DJ Mad Linx has participated as a DJ/Host for the event. The 1st year he held things down alongside comedian and actor Anthony Anderson.

As a result of Tuck's extraordinary play, the organization has raised over $150,000 in the last two years.
