Here is the official announcement of the upcoming Portland, OR Ultimate
tournament.  This is copied verbatim from our flyer.  Please note that the
map and roster form mentioned below are not included in this posting.

Hopefully I haven't introduced any typos that weren't already there.  :-)

Hope to see you there!

Dear Team Representative:

Due to the discontinuity caused by last year's feeble "tournament", which
was only one day due to lack of field space, and also because there hasn't
been a team calling itself the "FunHogs" for at least seven years, the
leaders of Portland's ultimate community have decided to strike out on a
new course and retire the name "WALLOW."  Starting in 1992, Portland offers
you an all-out full-effect ultimate event to be known as the STUMPTOWN
SESSION.  With the formation of new teams and lots of new fresh blood on
the Portland ultimate scene, this tournament promises to become one of the
Northwest's best, and you don't want to miss it!

The tournament will be held at Cook Park and Tigard High School in Tigard,
Oregon, just south of Portland.  A map to the fields is included, although
experienced Northwest players will undoubtedly need no directions since it
is the same site at which many Portland tournaments have been held in
recent years.  The dates are August 15th and 16th.

At least one old Wallow tradition will be kept alive, however, as we once
again impose a limited roster size on the teams in the Open Division
(though there will also be an Open Division "B" Bracket which lacks this
restriction).  Those teams which wish to compete for the soon-to-be coveted
Disc-in-the-Stump Trophy will be absolutely required to submit a list of no
more than eleven players.  A twelfth player may also be included as an
alternate in case of injury, but once a member of a team yields to this
alternate player, he will then be disqualified from the entire rest of the
tournament and the alternate will retain his roster spot.  (This clause can
also be used if your team has one player able to attend only on Saturday
and another only on Sunday.)  A team roster list is enclosed.  Teams
playing in the Women's Division and Open Division "B" bracket will have no
limits on the size of their rosters.

Because we wish to generate media coverage and general public attendance
for the Women's and Open Division Finals, both these games will be played
at strict pre-determined starting times on Sunday:  3:30 PM for the Women's
and 5:00 PM for the Open.  We will also require that the four teams in
these games wear matching team shirts (and we strongly encourage it in all
other games as well).  In order to make this requirement easier to comply
with, we will issue eleven commemorative tournament shirts each to the four
teams in these two finals before the games begin.

Of course, STUMPTOWN SESSION shirts will also be on sale at Frisbee
central, along with tournament discs and the usual assortment of ultimate
knick-knacks and memorabilia.

This year's Saturday night extravaganza will be held at the Northwest
Service Center near downtown Portland.  This is the same location as last
year's Sectional party, except this time it will be held in the upstairs
auditorium and will feature live reggae music and beer from Portland's own
Bridgeport microbrewery.  A party for those arriving Friday night will be
held at the Produce Row Cafe in Southeast Portland (see map), where those
who come to sample the 40+ tap beers and 100+ imported bottle beers can
also meet with the Housing Coordinator, Dan Kelley, for last minute
accomodations.  But please, if at all possible, call to make these
arrangements ahead of time.

Due to limited field space, we project a maximum limit of 22 teams for all
divisions combined.  Those who pay their entry fees first or at least call
first to indicate their intention to attend will, of course, have top
priority if some teams have to be turned away.  Send your money now to
guarantee a spot.  Entry fees are as follows:  Open Division (11-man) --
$110;  Women's Division -- $90;  Open Division (B bracket) -- $75.  Send
checks payable to the PORTLAND ULTIMATE CLUB at 4203 SE Yamhill, Portland,
OR 97215 (Turf Terrace).
