Retired to Stud Tournament 5

Sat., Oct. 17, 1998

Perkiomen Park - OAKS, PA



RTS 5 sponsored in part by ultimate-player-owned and -operated http://www.gaia-ultimate.com:


RTS 4 filled faster than a boat with no bottom. I had wanted RTS 4 to be 10 teams, maybe 12, and it wound up being 25 teams on Saturday, 8 on Sunday.

RTS 5 will likely fill quickly, too. I don't much like picking and choosing which teams get in, and which ones don't. It is easier for me to just take the teams that confirm their bids with checks. In my experience, teams that pay are teams that play. Get those checks in ASAP. Want a constructive receipt date? Mail me a check, then send me an email with the check no, and the date that I'll see on the postmark. "The check is in the mail" has more often than not shown itself to be UNTRUE and a delaying tactic.

Payment: checks trump promises to pay.  This tourney will likely fill,
so kindly get your checks in ASAP.  I'll have a list of registered teams
up as checks roll in.  Check due date: September 27, 1998.  My bet: the 
tourney fills before then.

0. RAIN OR SHINE WE PLAY.  However, if there has been substantial rain, then 
the tournament may be cancelled.  In that event, team contacts
would receive a partial refund (minus any expenses already incurred by the
tourney director).

NO ULTIMATE TIME. There will be no ultimate time at the tournament.
9:30 a.m. CAPTAIN'S MEETING
10:00 a.m. FIRST ROUND STARTS
12:00 noon FIRST ROUND ENDS
5:30 p.m. FIFTH ROUND STARTS
7:00 p.m. FIFTH ROUND ENDS (td or either captain may declare game OVER at or after 7PM)

There will be an end of round signal, discussed at the captain's meeting. It will likely be a LAST
POINT HORN, meaning finish the point being played. If that point results in a TIE, the goal counts twice.
The RTS Evil COMEBACK rule.

Time permitting, games are to 11; semis may be played to 13, finals may be played to 15.

Your team will likely have a FIRST ROUND GAME and a LAST ROUND GAME.
Expect to STAY AND PLAY all scheduled games. *Don't s***w anyone out of a game by leaving
early.*

AFTER THE EVENT

Plan on hitting VALLEY FORGE BREWING COMPANY for dinner. Dinner and beers will run
about $20-30 per person. Food is great, as is the beer. Owned and operated by Ultimate players.
Another option is to stoke on pizza next door ($6-8), then slide into the VFBC for beers. There's
also a Boston Market and one or two other joints in the same strip mall.

Look for VFBC coupons in your tourney packets!
