SLC Ultimate will host the 2009 Northwest Regional Mixed Ultimate Championships, to be held October 3-4 in Park City, Utah. This event will feature 16 of the top mixed teams from Northern California, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho and of course Utah, who seek to be Northwest region’s representatives at 2009 Ultimate Players Association National Championships to be held in Sarasota, Florida October 29-November 1.

This should be a great tournament to watch -- it’s going to be a battle royale to qualify for Nationals! The Northwest is by far the most competitive region in the Mixed division, producing three out of four semifinalists as well as the winner of the 2008 national championships.

The tournament schedule calls for pool play on Saturday, with elimination games beginning Sunday. Games begin around 9:00 on each day. A final schedule, as well as a list of participants, will be available two weeks before the event – check the event website for updates. WANT TO HELP? Check the website for volunteer opportunities.
