Dear former and future First NIGHTS players,
Thanks for all of your kind feedback from FNOF 2010 and the ever-increasing number of emails for new information about First NIGHTS 2011. Apologies as we are putting together a brand new website which is taking longer than expected, and as a result the opening of registration was delayed this year. To properly apologize - and to keep registration rolling along on schedule despite the late start - we are offering MEGASTRATION this year which can get you to the hat tournament for A BUCK. That's right. Read on for more details.
Everyone from last year's tournament will also receive an invitation to the First NIGHTS distribution list through Google Groups. Please accept this invitation to continue to receive updates in future years.
All the best to you and your families, and I look forward to seeing all of you at First NIGHTS 2011!
Sincerely,
Mike Yanchak
FNOF Founder and 2011 TD
FIRST NIGHTS OF FLIGHT 2011 UPDATES
First NIGHTS of Flight 2011 will NOT be ON THE FIRST! As the Saturday Hat will always be the FIRST Saturday AFTER New Year's, the tournament will not begin on the New Year's holiday again until 2016. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of FNOF over its first holiday weekend last year!
The Third Annual FNOF Team Tournament will begin on the evening of Friday, January 7, 2010, followed by the Eighth Annual FNOF Hat Tournament on Saturday, January 8, 2010. This year we are once again looking forward to provide nearly 500 players with the first Ultimate played anywhere in the hemisphere and as always using your feedback from previous tournaments to create the best tournament possible.
REGISTRATION FOR BOTH TOURNAMENTS WILL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2010 AT 8:00PM ET.
Registrations for the Hat Tournament will begin at JUST ONE DOLLAR (details below!).
Registrations for the Team Tournament will be $350 per team.
As always, if you want to REGISTER FIRST, SAVE MONEY, or GO TO FIRST NIGHTS FOR FREE, details are included below!
First NIGHTS Team Tournament Updates
Registration will be made available to the public on November 5, 2010 for a Team Bid of $350.

STARTING WITH FIRST NIGHTS 2011, THE WINNER OF THE TEAM TOURNAMENT RECEIVES AN AUTOMATIC - AND FREE - BID TO NEXT YEAR'S TOURNAMENT! Get your squads in it to win it in 2011, and you guys get to play on us next year.
