Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, More Set For CRS Paddle Royale Ping Pong Tournament

/by

The Paddle Royale Ping Pong Tournament will return to Country Radio Seminar (CRS) on Feb. 28 in the Omni Nashville Hotel’s Legends D-G on the second floor.

The 16-player event has grown each year, with over 800 in attendance in 2023. This year’s tournament will feature players Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Sam Hunt, Russell Dickerson, Tyler Hubbard and returning Champion Chris Lane, along with industry executives Kurt Bardella, Johnny Chiang, Michelle Kammerer, Annie Ortmeier, Jackie Tigue, Jay Williams, Kristen Williams and more to be announced.

Tennessee Titans play-by-play man Mike Keith will come back to call the action, with Rob Stone and Holly Hutton from Audacy WYCD/Detroit serving as sideline reporters. The “Prime Ministers of Pong” George Couri and Tim Roberts will lead the event, which will follow “Amazon Music Presents: Country Heat.” Doors open at 8:30 p.m. and the tournament starts at 9 p.m.

“This is the true test of success in the music business,” says Roberts. “We serve it up, care about spins, and we don’t settle for anything less than No. 1!”

Couri adds, “No music, no panels. Just getting our industry together to have fun and get silly. This thing gets bigger every year, and we are going to make the spectacle of it all even bigger this time.”

CRS 2024 will take place Feb. 28-March 1. Online registration is now closed, and will reopen on-site at the Omni Nashville Hotel. For more information, click here.
