MLK Tourney in Duluth Information

Hey Guys -

Below is the information about our tourney in Duluth this weekend. As our captain's meeting is at 3:30 PM on Sunday, let's meet at 11:45 AM at Lindbergh and we'll stop for lunch on the way (most likely Tobie's).

The total cost per player is still being calculated with hotels and everything. This information will be updated here as soon as it is finalized. Players will need to bring a check made out to "Hopkins Ultimate" to Lindbergh on Sunday before we leave. Our per player cost last year was $80.

Gas costs will be split amongst each car, so please bring some cash for that. Also bring some money for lunch Sunday afternoon, dinner on Sunday night and lunch/snacks for the way home Monday.

Depending on how we finish on Sunday, we'l either be playing early Monday morning or Monday afternoon. The blog and our new Twitter (@hopkinsultimate) will be updated with results.

Things you should bring:
WHITE (not gray) SHIRT.
BLACK (not gray) SHIRT.
A disc WITH YOUR NAME ON IT.
Athletic shorts and socks .
Indoor shoes (tennis, cross trainers, basketball, etc.) - this is a hard surface.
Anything else you'd need for playing ultimate.
Some snacks for during the games if you want. There should be some food and water provided, but don't count on a great spread.

Questions? Call me or one of your captains.

Last year this tourney cost $80 per player, assume around that for this year too. John Dailey is working hard to line up our accomodations, and that information will be passed along as soon as possible.

Regarding gameplay, I don't know the exact schedule yet, but that will be posted as soon as I know. Regardless, we are going to drive up on Sunday 1/17 from Lindbergh to the fieldhouse, play Sunday afternoon and evening, then stay the night at a hotel in town. Play will continue Monday morning (MLK Day) and wrap up around 3:30 PM at the latest. Kids should be back to Lindbergh by around 6 or 7 PM on Monday evening, if not earlier.

This is an indoor tournament, played on a hard surface similar to our North Jr High fieldhouse. It is 5 on 5. Bring gym shoes as well as a WHITE (not gray) shirt, a BLACK shirt, and some changes of socks, etc. Our hotel should have a pool, so if you are inclined for that feel free to bring a swim suit.

If you are on this list and your status has changed, please call me ASAP to let me know.
