June 15 is here!

Hello, everyone!

We are on a roll with tournament progress. 

Still need to sign up?  Click here.
I will continue taking applications, but I can't guarantee 100% that you'll get your requested shirt size.

We've received feedback from people saying that they're not used to signing up for a tournament so far away from the actual tournament date.

We TOTALLY understand.

However, the reason we're asking for sign ups so early is:

1) This is the first year this tournament is taking place.  We plan on doing it right the first time, with hopes for it to continue in the years to come.  If we keep the tournament sign-ups lax and wait until the last minute, there is a potential that we'd have to change brackets.  This tournament is essentially being organized and planned by one person: Me.  :)  
I want to max out the work now, and have everything run smoothly the day of.

2) I have to get t-shirt sizes in to the printer no later than July 1.  Ever get a t-shirt that isn't your size, and you hate to wear it during the game?  Too small?  Too big?  How about getting a t-shirt that you actually enjoy wearing in the August heat?  It's the little things.

3) I have to get a head count to the caterer for food for the day.  There is a big difference between 50, 75, and 100 people.  You know what would suck?  Running out of food that day.

Not that you wanted that long explanation, but that's the reasoning behind the early sign ups.

I appreciate your patience and your support!  We are looking forward to August 4 - it will be a blast!

Allison
