Alright gents, here's where we are at this point. From small to big: Next practice is on Sunday at 1700 at Showboat Theater Field. Bring a couple of cold ones for you and your's if you'd like. There will be no practice on Tuesday in support of our guys playing flag football. We'll pick back up on Thrusday as normal. For the tournament: the organizers gave us a $100 military discount. The cost for us to enter will be $225. Bring $15 to practice if you'd like to play. I'll record your information. If we have extra we will either return funds evenly, use the money for beer, or try to send a second team. I think its possible to field 2 x sides. You must be CIPPed for this tournament. Go to the USA Rugby website and follow the instructions for registration. You want to register with 'At Large - Texas.' Thats the name of the 'club.' Last thing: forming a true team. We are on the border of two geographic unions (True South and Texas) but the closest teams are in Texas so thats the one we'd probably go for. The only thing stopping us is not having a certified coach. If any of you are, or any of you know a coach, please let us know. Otherwise I'll start researching the way ahead on this one. Just so you know, once you register you can transfer teams without paying again, unless you've lapsed. Reply if you have any questions, otherwise I'll just go over this again on Sunday.
