2009 Hoosier Heartland Invitational benefiting the Boy Scouts of America
Planning for the 2009 Hoosier Heartland Invitational tournament and Boy Scout event has begun. This year we are planning a three day event to take place at the Ramada Inn in Logansport, Indiana tentatively on November 6-9 later this year. The Invitational's purpose is to raise money for our local Boy Scout troops and to put on a midwest tournament, hopefully as successful as the Beltsville Bash, Bama Blast etc. We will also be conducting the Great Lakes Region MFCA skills competition. Here is a tenative schedule:
Friday November 6th:
5-7pm Welcome party and get together for all coaches.
7pm-8pm Coaches meeting to explain tournament rules, set tournament field and ask for volunteers for the Boy Scout event.
8pm-10pm Great Lakes MFCA Skills Competition and open play.
10pm-2am Open play-Green Room Rumble.
Saturday November 7th:
8am-12:30pm 2009 Hoosier Heartland Boy Scout event (expecting 6 troops or around 120 scouts and parents).
12:30pm-1:30pm Lunch.
1:30pm-Winners of Painting Contest announced.
2pm-9pm Chernetsky Rapid Fire rounds of Invitational tourney.
9pm-11pm-Losers Bracket Final
11pm-? Open play.
Sunday November 8th:
9am-Noon Hoosier Heartland Invitational Semi-finals.
1pm-4pm 2009 Hoosier Heartland Invitational Championship.
Last year we raised $1,400 for the Boy Scouts and I am very grateful for all the coaches who came and helped with the Boy Scout event. The fee for this year's event will be as follows:
If you register and pay at the MFCA Convention: $35
Register and pay 2 weeks before: $40
Day of event: $45
All proceeds from tourney registration fees will go to the Boys Scouts of America.
Welcome party food will be provided by me.
We will have both a kids and adult painting contest for some great prizes.
You will have two chances to take home some hardware, as we will have a losers bracket tournament to take place Saturday evening.
I will also be putting on a "kids" tourney if I get enough response back.
We will have several MF items to raffle off and prizes awarded throughout the weekend.
We had a great time last year! Mark your calendars and God Bless!
