Folks,

 

Although it may seem a long ways off, we are quickly approaching the date of this year's 4th Annual Lone Star High School Ultimate Tournament!!!

 

To that end, I'd ask that you visit our website (www.ultimatespirit. org) for the latest, most-up-to-date information.  With this e-mail, I'd like to make you aware of a few things:

 

1.  As a location for our event, Veterans Park in College Station Tx is second-to-none due to the amazing fields we're able to use!  The park has a total of 9 fields.  Note that, for the last two years, we've only had to make use of 6 fields (accommodating a field of 11 teams each year). 

 

2.  Based on feedback we've received to date for this year's event, there may be upwards of 20 teams participating in this year's tournament (which would be phenomenal)!  Here are the teams that we currently have on the radar:

 

-  Anderson HS (Austin area)

-  Austin Area Homeschoolers (Austin area)

-  Belton HS (Austin area)

-  Big Spring HS (West Tx)

-  Clear Lake HS (Houston area)

-  Dripping Springs HS (Austin area)

-  Flower Mound Marcus HS (DFW area)

-  Hillcrest HS (DFW area)

-  Langham Creek HS (Houston area)

-  LASA HS (Austin area)

-  McCallum HS (Austin area)

-  Plano Jasper HS (DFW area)

-  Plano Shepton HS (DFW area)

-  Plano West HS (DFW area)

-  St. Mark's School (DFW area)

-  South Garland HS (DFW area)

-  Waldorf School (Austin area)

 

3.  If your team is planning to submit a bid for this year's state tournament, please let me know (via e-mail) no later than Saturday, February 28, 2009.  The reason for this request ... I need to know by that date so we can get your team's name on this year's tournament disc!

 

4.  Team bid applications, including the team application fee of $125, need to be complete and postmarked no later than Friday, March 6, 2009. (please note that this a revised date for completion of the application) .  The individual player fee of $10/player will still be collected on the day of the tournament (i.e., Saturday, April 11, 2009).

 

5.  Bids will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis.  So, please do your best to get your bid in on time!

 

We're looking forward to a great event this year (especially if we're able to grow the field of teams participating to 16, 18, 20, etc.)!!!

 

Should you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me.  And, once again, please let me know if your team is planning to submit a bid no later than Saturday, February 28, 2009.

 

Thanks,

 

Bill Marriott

Tournament Director

 

Texas, Ultimate!
