On July 29th, 2006
A3 Disc will be running a Women�s only tournament at Hudson Mills Metropark north of Ann Arbor Michigan

It will be a sanctioned C Tier event. I am thinking of limiting it to 150 players to try and keep it manageable. It�s probably unrealistic to expect to get that many in the first year but time will tell, I am willing to expand it to 192 if that many women will commit to play.

Updated news and information.
This weekend A3Disc ran its annual DGLO event and I personally spoke with all the PRO's at this event. 6 of them said they plan on attending but that is subject to change of course.
Elaine King
Des Reading
Jen Ketz
Jen Dombrowski
Angela Tschiggfrie
Sarah Demar

I spoke with Sue Stephens and Elaine King about running clinics for everybody and both said they would be willing if their schedules would permit attending and time permitted at the event. clinics would either be during lunch or after the event. I did not have time to speak with Des Reading about the clinic but hopefully i can before the event and she will be willing before then as well. More information will follow
as it is collected.

Sales of the fundraising discs were slow at DGLO, I did sell a few. So if you want a disc or several of them you can order them from me.
Please support this tournament by purchasing a disc or two before the tournament.
We have both Spectras, & Buzzes to sell 25$ each which will cover shipping & handling to your address. You must supply a valid address for either UPS or mail.
Mini's are available with the artwork on it as well at $5 each. All the discs are numbered if you want a set you should specify such, sets sell for $50.
75 Spectras and 75 Buzzes were printed as well as 60 minis.
mini's can be mail ordered probably for $8 to cover shipping and handling. or you may over the mini with a full size disc for only $5 additional.

The $5 will be used towards next years tournament.

I made these trophys myself they are very simple and will hang on the wall, hopefully everybody will like them. I have already started on plans for next years trophys and making them even better.

Comments please?

Players packs are still in question the sponsor who said he was sending 40 discs has not even shipped them as of yet. i do not know if they will be here in time. without these discs the players packs will be simple minor items. i will keep you informed here also.

PRO payout will be enhanced by a minimum of $50.

The first 40 people who sign up pro or am will get these players packs unless the discs don't show up!?!? then we will see how it goes.
the collectable buzz's and spectra will be on sale saturday for less than the advertised price. i haven't decided on that price yet, it will depend on the quantity of players who show up and are willing to buy one. players payouts can not be used towards these discs.

We will also be having a raffle for a couple items $1 tickets or 6/$5. all for fundraising of course. i will also be having jumbo tosses for every division that shows up and jumbo tosses for players and some for staff.

Player�s packs will be available for the first 37 people (PRO or AM�s) who sign up either in advance or on the day of the tournament. The Player Pack Discs come from Quest. The players packs may yet be enhanced further assuming Discraft decides to offer something for this event in there own backyard.
