Other Information:
This year's event is going to be very well attended (we are expecting 120 competitors, counting novices), and media have already started calling. This will be a fun event, and we're lucky to have Victory Sound back again for the third year in a row! As usual, we'll be making sandwich runs to Togo's, and this year we hope it will run even smoother than before as we work to improve this annual event.
Thanks for reading this far, and we hope you can make it! This is guaranteed to be the largest footbag tournament on the West Coast, except for the World Championships, of course!
