CUUC Tournament Info

Tournament Information

CUUC2 will be held in the Kitchener Waterloo Area this year at Bechtel and Lexington Parks. The fields are the finest quality public fields in all of Kitchener-Waterloo. The tournament date will be October 18-20. (this is a three day tournament). Participants will include Mens and Women's teams from universities throughout Canada. We are currently expecting about twenty teams, including UVic, Carleton and, most importantly, Waterloo :-) Each team will compete in about four games per day, with the exception of Sunday, the 20th, at which point teams will be playing two to five games depending on their standing. (Finals will be held on Sunday at around 4PM).

Currently, teams include:

Concordia		1		1
Dalhousie		1

McGill			3		2
Ottawa			1		1

The tournament fee is $200 per team, which includes 10 tickets to an Oktoberfest hall on the night of the 18th. (These tickets are usually $10 each) Additional tickets will cost $5. The deadline for registration is September 20, 1996. Register ASAP, as there is only enough field space for 20 teams. The captain's meeting will be held at 9:00 am at Bechtel Park. More information will be provided in the captain's packages.

More details on the seeding will become available closer to the tournament date.

As is standard with ultimate tournaments, we, the hosts, will be supplying the participants with Bananas, Oranges, Bagles, and Water and/or other liquids. We will also be providing evening entertainment. This includes tickets to an Oktoberfest Party on Friday night. The Saturday night party has not yet been finalized.

Billeting may be available for the tournament, if there is sufficient interest. Since we here in Waterloo are mostly out of town students, we can't offer our houses to billet. However, if I get enough interest soon enough, then I may be able to rent a school gymnasium for all three nights. It would include the use of floor space, and the showers and little else. I expect that I would have to have interest from at least 10 teams before it would be worthwhile for you. The approximate cost of renting the gym would be about $3000 for three nights. Be sure to bring along a sleeping bag.

We are an official Oktoberfest event, and as such, we're listed in their schedule, so expect some spectators! Coverage of the tournament will include local newspapers and probably Roger's Cable. CBC has expressed some interest in the event. We have approached TSN, and they informed us that a major sponsor which is interested in helping produce a show would be required before they will consider airing any portion of the tournament. Such a sponsor has not yet been found. We have yet to contact media from other cities.

Please include the following information along with your registration: University: Team name: Number of players (total): Number of players (needing billets): Number of players (going to Oktoberfest): (each ticket in excess of ten will be $5) Team List: (for publication in brochure)
