By popular demand, the legendary Copper Games are back — this time with an Olympic twist to honor the Spirit of Champions! Mark your calendars for Tuesday at 4:00pm MT, and be sure to schedule your flight to land before 2:00pm MT, because this year’s competition is one you won’t want to miss.
Teams will battle it out for a spot on the podium, but keep your game face on — a few individual challenges might just pop up along the way. Sure, there’s no “I” in team, but there is in “gold medalist” and only champions get to claim that title!
We’ve got plenty of excitement coming your way, so stay sharp and check back here during your “training” for a sneak peek at the festivities. We can’t wait to see who’ll raise the torch and claim the bragging rights.

COPPER GAMES TEAMS
Once again, we’re mixing it up and intermingling the teams! After all, we’re all chasing the same prize — selling more Tito’s and having a damn good time doing it. Team captains will work with their teams to assign players to specific games. The points earned in each game will contribute to your squad’s total score leading you to Copper Games glory.
Bring the team spirit loud and proud! You’ll receive your team hat at check-in, but we highly encourage you to rally with your crew beforehand and deck yourselves out in accessories that rep your team name. In the Copper Games, there’s no such thing as too much. Go big, go bold, and get ready to own that podium!
