We are very excited to be partnering with the Go Live Sports Cast and Riverside Events Venue as the host venue for our first ever 2024 Michigan Steinholding State Championship Finals! The best Steinholders from across the state will come together at Riverside in Trenton on Saturday October 26th, 2024 during the annual downtown Witches Night Out Halloween Festival! The winners of the Championship Finals match will be crowned the 2024 Michigan State Steinholding Champions and will each receive over $500 worth of prizes! This year's State Champions will ALSO receive a full Oktoberfest outfit provided by our partners at BavariaTrachten.com where you can use the discount code STEINHOLDING to get 10% off any purchase all season long!
There are a limited number of spots available for the finals and you'll need to compete at one of our exclusive Qualifying Venue partner locations (listed below) to qualify for the finals and get your shot at the big prizes.
Festivals, breweries, and bars across Michigan are hosting preliminary qualifying rounds! The winners from the men's competition and women's competition at each location will be invited to represent their qualifying location at the Riverside Events Venue Championship Match. The different venues are listed below along with the dates and times for each competition. If your favorite venue isn't hosting a competition, tell them to get registered so you can join the fun!
U.S. Steinholding Association Official Steinholding Rules will be used. There will be a team of official USSA-trained judges at the finals, so study up on the rules and spend some time training to make sure your form is clean, or you won't last long in the Championship Round!
