DAREDEVIL DISC'S LAYOUT FOR LIFE - OCTOBER 4 

Layout for Life's long awaited rain date has been set at 
October 4th. Teams that had registered in the spring were 
given priority, but there are still lots of places available 
(although the total number of teams will be capped, so if 
you are interested please e-mail soon). 

Here are the details: 
When: October 4th 
Where: Sod Farm (Some of UPI will be undergoing fall 
       maintenance) 
Cost: $225 per team 
Divisions: Elite, Competitive, and Rec 
Why: To toss some disc, and most importantly raise some 
     money for cancer research. 
Other details: 4 games, 4/3 gender ratio. 

Rec teams will be those that are out to have fun, but aren't 
necessarily interested in winning. Competitive will be for 
those teams interested in winning, but may not have the 
strongest team in the world, whereas the Elite division will 
be held for the strongest teams in the world (if the 
strongest teams in the world don't show up teams will be 
placed in this division at the request of the captain and 
the review of the TD). 

There will be a beer tent and a cash BBQ (Again with all 
money going to the fight against cancer). Field food 
(bagels, fruit, water) will be provided. Daredevil Discs 
will be putting on it's Funzone with great prizes being 
awarded and we will hopefully be getting a radar gun speed 
measurement set up as well! Come out and see just how fast 
you can throw a Daredevil Disc! 

For information, or to register, contact Gavin Thompson 
gavint@istar.ca

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR DAREDEVIL DISC'S LAYOUT FOR LIFE

Daredevil Disc's Layout for Life tournament needs a few 
volunteers to help with the game day operations of the 
tournament. Most of the work is very easy and quite social, 
also it's all for a very good cause, the fight against 
cancer.

The tournament is Saturday October 4th and volunteers can 
either volunteer for a half day or for the full day.

If you are interested, of have questions about volunteering, 
please contact Gavin Thompson gavint@istar.ca
