Hello Nationers and Midwest Paintballers.
On behalf of the Illinois State Redbirds and Urban Warfare, we will be hosting a Charity Streetball Tournament at Bloomington's Indoor field. All profits will be going to Easter Seals in Bloomington. An organization that helps physically and mentally handicap children with therapy to further their living standard. This event is open to ALL PLAYERS of ALL DIVISIONS and will be hosted solely to benefit Easters Seals so they can continue their great work. See their link below.
The event will be hosted at Urban Warfare in Bloomington, (See below for address.) on Saturday March 2nd, 2013. This is a far in advance tournament, so mark your calenders.
For those who have never heard of streetball format before, here is a break down of how we will run in.
Every player will enter their name into a hat. Captains who will be arranged before the event will choose a team color and pull names randomly from the hat. The names he pulls will be that team for the tournament.
Streetball is just a fun way to get to play with new people, and mix up the skills. We will be playing on a Speedball course in either 3 or 4 man set up. The number of people who register will reflect which format we run with.
UPDATE!
I got the official pricing ready to go for the tournament and I apologize that it took this long!

Share this with everyone!
in a charity event, the charity is the top priority. im just saying that if the price is decent, you can definitely pull more people in that would not otherwise do it. thats all.
