Post Tournament Briefing Part 1
Well hello everybody.  We are trying to recoup from this weekend.  This Yak Attack took its toll on both Jane and I.  We are totally exhausted from this year's event.  I will have the brackets posted by the 20th.  We will send out a post email to all of you soon

Update
We are coming close to the start of the tourney.  I want to thank all of who have prayed for my Dad for the last few weeks.  Dad went to the higher heavens today and I am blessed to have him as my Dad.  Some of you know him as he has attended the tourney several times to help out and to see how this tourney has grown.  He was always amazed how this tourney has turned out to be a renegade hit and wished me great success.  As many of you know, this tourney is run by my family including my wife, sister, and brother in law; Keith who is the voice of the Yak.  We are all here to make the Yak Attack a great event in honor of my father.  I love you Dad.

New Rules Posted
New rules are posted.  Nothing earth shattering here.  Removed the player card requirement.  Added the spectator/ playyer sides to the soccer pitch.  Tribal Council goes back to its roots of a straw like substance

New Schedules
We posted new REV 2 schedules.  These were the minor changes that you guys pointed out.  Most of you wont realize any changes and most divisions didn't change at all but we posted new schedules anyway.  There will be no more time change request as we are approaching tourney time

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.
