Mark your calendars!  The 22nd Annual BUDA Good Cause Tournament will be happening on July 14th, 2012.  Funds raised from this year's tournament will support Lovin' Spoonfuls in their mission to recover perishable and unserved foods from restaurants and events, which is then distributed to shelters and social service agencies.

Fundraising: We ask that every player set a personal goal to raise funds; either by collecting donations from family members, friends and co-workers, or by simply making a personal donation.  The Good Cause Tournament is about fun ultimate, but it's also about supporting an exceptional organization that is doing important work to make our city better.

Please track funds raised using the Good Cause Tournament Donation Form.  This will ensure that donors receive proper credit for their donations.  (If you prefer to track funds raised separately, that's fine.  Please let us know the name, address, and amount raised for each donor.)

  • The right to play with up to two other people who also raised $150

  • Registration fee is waived
 Raise at least $100 and receive:
  • A tourney disc and a 5 Ultimate tourney jersey

  • Players who choose not to raise funds may instead pay the registration fee.  For players who register ahead of time, the registration fee is $35.  For those who register on the day of the tournament, the registration fee is $40.
  • Players who prefer to pay by check are more than welcome to do so.  Please make checks payable to Lovin' Spoonfuls.

Tournament Format: This is a "hat" tournament. Players arrive by 9am (sharp), register, and are randomly placed on a balanced co-ed team for the day. Every team will play 4 consecutive games and end by 4:30pm, when prizes are then given out. The games are competitive, but the focus of the day is on raising funds and playing spirited Ultimate.
Special rules: As in past years, special rules will apply.  Among others
  • When a team is leading by more than 3 points, all players on that team must touch the disc on the possession before a point can be scored.  After a turnover, all players much touch the disc again
  • A huck for a score that covers more than half the length of the field is worth 2 points.
Spirit Awards: At the end of the day, each team will vote for one player as their spirit award winner.  The person who wins the award for each team will get a pair of Hydro Shorts, generously provided by 5 Ultimate.
Want to play with a friend? If each friend raises $150 or more, this request will be granted, otherwise it's random (sorry) (and yes, it is blackmail). Limited to groups of 3.
What to bring:
  • WATER (we will supply some water, but we have no water source at the fields)
  • A white shirt
  • A dark shirt
  • Food (no food will be provided at the fields)
  • Cleats
Post-Game: In keeping with long standing BUDA Good Cause tradition, merriment will continue at the Old Irish Ale House after games are done.
