Thanks for coming

On behalf of our Yak Attack staff, Jane and I would like to thank all of you for coming and making our tournament a festive atmosphere. It was and still is our goal to make the best tournament experience for all players regardless wins/losses which a lot tournaments gauge success. We also enjoy feedback. Tell us what you liked what you didn't like. Feedback is what makes us better. We gather in a couple of weeks to go over notes so feedback from you is important. Tell us what we did right and where we need improvement on. Thanks for coming

Field Numbering

A little change of field numbering due to an over anxious field painter who fell asleep at throttle. Fields 12, 13, and 14 are a little weird and do not fit what is printed in the program. Just follow the Field banners that are labeled at the fields and you will be fine. No worries.

Player Change Form

The player change form has been taken off the web as I need Jane in the last 48 hours to get ready for the tourney. All changes can still take place, just bring them to the field WITH VERIFICATION. Thanks. Please don't email the changes as we don't have the books to update.

OLD SOCCER SHOES

We are having another outreach program at the Yak Attack. This is about your old soccer cleats that your kids have outgrown and sitting somewhere in the bottom of the closet. Bring them to the Yak Attack and you/your player will have a special speedball section where we will record three of your shots with a radar gun. Help us out by donating these soccer cleats so that we may pass them along to families that can't afford to get soccer cleats. This is one of the many poutreach programs that the Yak Attack helps. Soccer families helping soccer families. Please donate your shoes

SURVIVOR SUNDAY

Survivor Sunday is a special feature that this tournament offers that no other tournament has. All teams, U-11 and above, play three games on Saturday. Points are tallied and each team in the age bracket is awarded a seed number at the end of the day. Sunday play is based on seeding where play is similar to the NCAA basketball tournament. All teams play on Sunday. Survivor Sunday simply means if you win, you play again. If you lose, your tournament play ends. Before each game, we play the Survivor theme song then sound the buzzer and drop the ball. Of course, the higher the seed, the easier the path. Survivor Sunday is designed to play every other half hour which depending on the size of the bracket, you could end up playing an additional four games on Sunday. If a game ends in a tie on Survivor Sunday, both teams go to Tribal Council where a shootout ~~Yak Attack style occurs; a shootout against my hay bale goalie.~~ IAW FIFA Shootout Rules

CODE FOUR UNIFORM CONTEST

Once again, Code Four Athletic Apparel Company is sponsoring a uniform contest. This event is one of the trademarks of the Yak Attack. Teams are encouraged to make their own uniforms for this event and many teams come to the event with some awesome looking and funny looking uniforms. We parade all the teams across the main stage and introduce each team to the crowd. Uniforms have to in good taste and three winners are awarded; Boys, Girls, and Grand Champion. Each winning team wins a $200.00 gift certificate from Code Four Athletic Apparel Co. Contest starts at 12:45 on Saturday.

YAK ATTACK ~~FOOD~~ SOUP DRIVE

Another unique feature of the Yak Attack is our Northwest Harvest Food Drive. In years past we have had a food drive where teams bring in food and win a ride a limousine. The past two years we have seen food donations plummet which might be caused by the economy, we don't know. This year we will be doing it a little different. We are asking each participant to bring 1 can of soup to the tournament. This has the potential of gathering 1800 cans of soup which the food bank would be gratefull.
