Lately, there's been some talk of hosting a multi-event tourney at UBC. I've been reluctant to make that commitment due to the recent poor turnouts we've been getting. In the past, half to two-thirds of the payout was paid for by local players' entry fees. Without a strong local turnout, we MUST have a big commitment from sponsors. This commitment is increased by the payouts required to bring most of the participants in from out of town.

I'll get the ball rolling on tournament formats and flyers, but we'll need to see some strong sponsorship dollars committed before we can set a solid date. For the time being, we're looking at October or November for a potential date.

If you want to help us, you can recruit potential sponsors.  Any money donated will be split evenly between tournament payout and the Hubbard House. The recruiter that brings in the most sponsor dollars will receive a package deal for the tourney*.   *=Recruiter's total sponsor dollars must exceed $200. $1000 in sponsor dollars will get any recruiter a "full boat" package for EVERY EVENT, including registration.
