The Midwest Cross Roads Invitational Festival
The 8th Annual Midwest Cross Roads Invitational is being held April 21 & 22,
2012 at the Des Moines rugby Facilities. The tournament is billed as an event that "will soon be one of the premier girls’ rugby events in the country."
It's held at the outsanding Des Moines’ Rugby Facilities, which includes two fields and their clubhouse along with a third field immediately west of us allowing us to host up to 24
teams. Their clubhouse features four locker rooms with showers, a large social room with kitchen, and two-tiered deck overlooking Bartlett Field. They also offer buffet lunches both days and a buffet dinner Sat. evening – a perfect way to keep your team from
scattering to fast foods.
This is called a festival rather than a tournament as you’ll get three competitive games (Sat morning, Sat. afternoon, and Sunday) but there are no standings kept or trophies awarded. It's a good opportunity to gain experience. Teams typcially come from Minnessota, St. Louis, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
If interested, contact Phil Kaser, the tournament director, Pkaser13@centurylink.net

Applications for National Tournament Sought
Girls HS Teams are being urged to apply to the new National Championships May 12-13 at Stanford in conjunction with the collegiate women's final four.
Teams must fill out an application form by January 15.
Go here for the application former:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFVrcEhpNHdsMVFrVG9lZ1dCcko2Vnc6MQ
Word on the street is that the committee is considering two tiers of competition, if interest for the event is shown in the number of applications submitted. This is similar to how the NIT was run prior to USA Rugby taking it over two years ago. At its peak the NIT had three tiers of competition, with 24 teams competing.
The Committee urges teams to apply as soon as possible to be considered.
