The Bruin Ultimate Frisbee Club is hosting a George Fox-only hat tournament on Saturday, April 6, from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Austin Sports Complex.

A hat tournament is where teams are randomly chosen from a hat and play a round-robin Frisbee tournament. This is open to all students and faculty, regardless of previous experience. The goal is to have fun, build community, and play some Ultimate Frisbee! Sign up here.

Please note: Bring both a light- and dark-colored shirt to distinguish between teams. The club will provide water and probably have bananas; if you want more snacks or Gatorade, make sure to bring it. Finally, we will be selling club discs for $10 each, so bring some cash to get a fancy new Frisbee.
