Announcement: Urban Meyer Invitational Trash Tournament

The University of Florida is very pleased to announce the Urban 
Meyer Invitational Trash Tournament on Sunday, January 15th 2006. 
This is the day after the non-trash Sunshine State Invitational at 
UF on MLK Weekend. The tournament will be a packet-submission 
tournament (any playoff rounds will be written by UF) and should be 
over by 4pm for those with longer drives back. Note on playoffs: The 
more packets submitted by participants, the more playoff rounds we 
can have.

The tournament format will most likely be a round robin. Rounds will 
consist of 20 untimed tossups with one lame available to each team. 
There will be suitably trashy prizes awarded at the conclusion of 
the tournament. All carbon-based life forms are eligible to play. 
Free agents can contact Michael Napier at the address below for 
placement.
