THE 2003 DAREDEVIL DISCS' LAYOUT FOR LIFE TOURNAMENT

It's that time of year again, time for Daredevil Discs' 
Layout for Life Tournament to support cancer research in 
Canada. 

When: Saturday May 31st.
Where: UPI 
Cost: $225 ($250 after May 28th)
Format: 4/3, 4 games, 3 divisions (Rec/Beginner, 
Competitive, Elite)

This exciting tournament also features a Beer Garden, BBQ, 
and a party that evening (details to be announced later). 
Standard 'field food' will be available as well.

Last year 26 teams took part in a fun day of Ulty, BBQing 
and sunshine, all in the name of a great cause: fighting 
cancer. This year we hope for even more.

The Rec/Beginner Division is for teams that are 
inexperienced, or want to practice certain things or just 
want to take part for the spirit of the whole event.

The Competitive Division is meant for medium calibre teams 
that want to play to win. This includes veteran league teams 
or lower level traveling teams.

The Elite Division is reserved for the highest calibre 
teams, registration in this pool will be limited.

If you are a captain, get your team out for this great 
event. If you aren't the captain, register anyways or pester 
your captain to - 'canweplayinlayoutforlife - please - 
canweplayinlayoutforlife - please - canweplayinlayoutforlife -
 please - canweplayinlayoutforlife -please please please'

Hat team(s) will be formed as well from individual 
registrations.
