2010 Yak Attack

This year we are going country with "Boot Scootin' Boogie" as our theme this year. I am going through Itunes looking for upbeat fun country songs that would play well for the tournament. I will spare everybody the teary love gone bad songs. Registration opens on Feb 1st. Bonzi software is handling the registration portion of the registration because we wanted a better way of processing the registrations especially near deadline time. Speaking of deadlines. My word of caution to everybody is to register early. We had a slew (100 registrations) three days prior to the deadline. We had to close registration early last year as we hit our maximum density. We had some upset teams that we had no rom for. Register early.

This year we are not doing a food drive contest as we have done in years past. While I enjoyed watching teams getting the limo rides, the amount of food being given was at an all time low. We still believe that giving to the food bank is still a need especially during the off season of giving such as May so this year we are doing something different. We are requiring each participant to give 1 can of soup at registration sign up. Northwest Harvest would be tickled pink if we delivered 1800 cans of soup. If you want to bring more than one can soup, bring it on. Lets make this a great soup drive

If anybody wants to share some MP3 country songs that I can use for the Yak Attack, please email them to me at yakattacktourney@yahoo.com Also I am looking for some entertainment to play on the stage on Saturday. If you have any thoughts, give me an email on that as well.

Looking forward to seeing all of you again and seeing some new faces as well

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.

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.
