1. FALL DRIZZLE TOURNAMENT--FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Here's a message from Alyssa Weatherford, coordinator for the Fall Drizzle
Middle School and High School tournament: "Hello all, I just thought I would
up date everyone about this super fun tournament.  We have 8 high school
teams and 5 middle school teams!!! But we would like more! We have teams
coming from Oregon and Oak Harbor! If you are interested at all please let
me know and I will do anything I can to get you up [to Burlington].  Games
will probably run from about 9-4ish with pool play games, and then everyone
is reseeded and we have one final round of games. There will also be a prize
for the winner of each division!
The tournament will be in Burlington and I will not know the tournament cost
till October 15th when I will be not accepting any more bids, but it will be
under $200 for sure.  We will be selling lots of Chaos gear and we will have
complementary tournament food for everyone.
If any one needs anything or has any questions please email me at
a.weatherford at gmail.com.  Thanks a bunch, hope to see you out there!"



2. COLD TURKEY (OREGON) TOURNAMENT

Here's a message from Andrew Buermeyer, UPA State Youth Coordinator for
Oregon: "Cold Turkey once again will be hosted in Corvallis this Fall on the
OSU campus. This is a co-ed HS tournament, 1-2 days depending on the number
of teams that come (should see 2 teams from Corvallis this year!). Last year
we also had a middle school division, and are looking to gauge interest
there as well.  We’re are working to finalize dates and have two possible
weekends: either Oct 31/Nov 1 (Halloween!) or Nov 14/15. If you have a team
that is interested, please let me know the following: A) which date and
whether a 1 or 2 day tourney is preferable, B) School, C) Team Name,
D) Coach, E) Contact Email, and F) Contact Telephone.  I’ll post additional
information as available, as soon as fields are reserved."  Andrew's email
address is polywags at comcast.net



3. LEVEL I UPA COACHING CLINIC

Seattle is planning to host a Level I UPA Coaching Clinic in the late
winter/early spring of 2010.  We are in need of a Local Coordinator.  The
main duties of the Local Coordinator are to reserve a site for the class,
advertise the class, help collect paperwork, communicate with participants,
and manage snacks/lunch for the event.  The compensation for serving as the
Local Coordinator is free attendance at the clinic (not including UPA
membership).  This is a $75 value.  Please contact me at
wynne.scherf at discnw.org if you are interested in serving as the Local
Coordinator for the clinic.
