GRUB 2010 Details
19th Annual Grass Roots Ultimate Benefit Tournament
Dates
July 17-18 2010
We are accepting beneficiary applications during the month of March. All proceeds raised at GRUB will be donated to the chosen beneficiary. This is a great way for ultimate players to bring the spirit of the game off the field and into the community. GRU targets small, local, and often overlooked non-profits. We give preference to charities with an ultimate connection. There will be some leg work required by the charity organization to provide volunteers and gather some provisions.

Applications are due by: March 31, 2010. The winning charity will be announced in mid April.
Location
Boulder, Colorado: Pleasant View Soccer Complex
Tournament Director: BakerDave
Format
32 mixed teams, 2 Divisions, 11th Edition.
Format: 4 men / 3 women.
In the past we have not seen enough teams with women on the rosters to allow offense calls 3 men / 4 women ratios. However, in the A-Div captains are encouraged to play some 3/4 points, but no 5/2 points. In the B-div captains may agree to 5/2 offense calls. Captains need to agree to altering ratios before the start of games.
Cost
$40.00/player ($35 student rate) plus a $250 team deposit that is refunded when your team attends. Please consider making an extra donation (see charity info below). No refunds will be given two weeks prior to the event.

FIELD USE
Remember as in most urban centers, quality recreational spaces are sparse and competitive adult ultimate does not get highest priority when it comes to obtaining this site. So be mindful of the surrounding neighbors, obey the park regulations, and use your common sense so that you do not jeopardize future ultimate events.
No glass bottles permitted on the fields.
Dogs are not permitted at GRU tournament events. Really no dogs, not in your car, not on a leash, not on the fields, and not in the parking lot.
Please do not practice at the Pleasant View site until the day of the tournament. If your team is coming in from out of town here is a link to a map of various field locations in Boulder: Fields. Please note that certain locations are by reservation only.
Violation of these rules or behavior deemed unacceptable will be grounds for expulsion from the tournament and the facility. The Grass Roots Ultimate Board of Directors (and its designees, including the Tournament Director) and the City of Boulder Recreation Staff reserve the right to enforce this policy.
OUT OF TOWN GUESTS
