If you want to support this work further or learn more, MGG will <a href="https://midwestgrowsgreen.org/volunteer-2/" target="_blank">host a volunteer event at Ray Elementary on Friday, June 7th</a>. We will also use funds to staff the event and cover the permit, insurance and marketing.   Q: Why can only WMP/WMP or MMP/WMP pairs register for early-bird of $90 (e.g. $45 per player)?  A: We polled our past attendees in May for a team versus a hat tournament format. Vast majority voted for a hat tournament. Past hat Chicago Ultimate Tournaments have not recruited enough WMPs to adhere to the 4:2 ratio. So we are trying a new format to achieve an equitable ratio, but still not exclude anyone who wants to play. We think offering the early-bird to only pairs with at least one WMP will increase our WMP registration. The general admission fee of $55 will be open to any player. We'll see how this new system works and reassess for next year! Q: Will lunch be served? A: Last year’s tournament had a low number of lunch tickets sold, so we decided to not serve lunch this year.  There will be a break for players to pick-up lunch or bring their own. Q: Any tourney swag?  A: Yep! You can purchase a Patagonia goodie bag for $30 that will include a custom jersey from Agile Gear (see image below), an <a href="https://ecobeachie.com/?v=7516fd43adaa" target="_blank">EcoBeachie</a> Ocean Caster disc (see image below), neckies from Illinois Ultimate and other sponsor items. Buy this goodie bag before prices increase to $40 on Thursday, August 1st!  <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1721831710/qvvcm6ilrmmuxyg26dsa.jpg" style="width:377px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto 5px 0px;text-align:left;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" /> -Any more questions can be directed towards Ryan Anderson from Midwest Grows Green at randerson@ipminstitute.org.
