It's Tournament Time!

In every sport there's a regular season and a post season. As the school year comes to a close here at the University of Iowa (there's only SIX weeks left!), the UI Recreational Services Intramural Division is getting into the spirit of the post season by holding several outdoor tournaments in April.

The first on the deadline is a non-athlete's dream sport and a fan-favorite at colleges throughout the country, Ultimate Frisbee. Teams need to be formed and rosters turned in for this single-elimination tournament by Wednesday, April 16th at 4:00 p.m. Games will begin Saturday, April 19th at the Hawkeye Recreational Fields and continue through the weekend. It is $15 per team to sign up.    

If you are looking for a little more intense competition -although Ultimate can get just as physical- Outdoor Soccer and 3-on-3 basketball single-elimination tournaments are also gonna be taking place at the Hawkeye Rec Fields. Both Outdoor Soccer ($15 per team) and 3-0n-3 basketball ($10 per team) roster forms are due Thursday, April 20th at 4:00 p.m.

Outdoor Soccer will be divided into three divisions: men's, women's and co-rec. Play will begin on Monday, April 21st and continue through Thursday, April 24th. 

The 3-on-3 basketball tournament will just consist of a men's bracket and a women's bracket with 5 players to a team. Games will begin on Monday, April 21st and will continue until the finals on Thursday, April 24th with games played at the basketball courts on the aforementioned complex running from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The 3-on-3 tourney usually gets a pretty good turnout, so get your teams signed up as soon as possible so you don't miss out!

Stay tuned for the last two Intramural events of the year coming up at the end of April: 4-on-4 Sand Volleyball and Disc Golf.
