How many spots left in Div I?

Michelle Ng

to
None at this time. University of Michigan Flywheel has expressed
interest in coming and if they commit to attending, we will likely
open up a spot for them, as well as a spot for one more team. We want
to ensure that the quality of Division I remains as high as
possible.

At this time, we have one Division II spot left. Division II teams
will have the opportunity to play into the championship bracket. We
are currently working on alternate formats and seeing if we can
accommodate two more B-Team / HS Teams.

Looking forward to seeing Penn State there. :)

you are interested in playing in either Division II or the B-Team / HS
Team Division, please send us an email today or tomorrow at:

We are exploring the possibility of expanding the tournament and we'd
like to gauge interest in making one or both of these divisions
bigger. If you would like more information about the tournament,
please check out our website:

We look forward to hearing from you!

Bjorn,

I am helping the Penn team run this tournament and Texas Ultimate has
been kind enough to donate webspace to host the tournament website.
The Texas captains and GB have also been a resource for the Penn
captains in terms of figuring out tournament logistics and providing
general advice on running a competitive college women's tournament.
Patagonia is sponsoring Women's College Centex, Philly Classic, as
well as Midwest Throwdown (hosted by the Washington University team)
and will be donating a free set of field shorts to the winner of each
tournament. Texas, Penn, and Wash U have done a lot of resource
sharing in terms of contacts, ordering supplies, securing
sponsorships, etc. The hope is that we can create a network of teams
who have the know-how to run a well-organized, competitive tournament
in their region, so that college women's ultimate will continue to
grow and develop even in regions with less resources.

If you want to stop by after your travels in Europe, you're welcome to
come help.

Your Facebook Friend,
Michelle

Several teams have expressed interest in the last spot, but if your
team is ready to commit now, let us know:
http://phillyclassic.texasultimate.org

We are also accepting teams to be on a waiting list in case teams drop
out, so drop us a line if you would like to put your team on that
list. We are very excited about the quantity and quality of teams
coming to this tournament. This event has exploded far past our
expectations. The Division I lineup features the best teams in the
Metro East and New England Regions, with out-of-area additions
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, University of North Carolina-
Wilmington, University of Michigan, and University of Wisconsin-Eau
Claire also making the trip to Pennsylvania. UNC-CH's March schedule
is especially impressive as they will be making the trip out to
Stanford Invite and down to Women's College Centex as well.

Thank you for all of your support and interest. As always, please
feel free to contact us if you have any questions and/or comments.
