The men’s and women’s ultimate Frisbee teams will host an informal tournament this Wednesday and Thursday called the All Campus Ultimate Frisbee Pickup Tournament. Women’s team captain Alison Murray said the event is in its 15th year, albeit under different titles.

Murray, a junior in parks and recreation, said the event is directed at “absolutely everyone and anyone on campus” and attendance usually hovers around a couple hundred people.

“People just show up and we count them off into about 12 teams,” Murray said. “We play out a couple of games, and the winning team will get a prize. At the end of the day, if you want to try out for the men’s team or play for the women’s team, you can.”

The men’s team holds try-outs, but anyone who wants to join the women’s – also called “jaga” – will be welcomed.

“We usually get most of our players from [the All Campus tournament],” Murray said.

Bryan Conklin, a fifth year senior in mechanical engineering and longtime member of the men’s team, said he and his teammates will be helping out and scouting prospective players.

He called the tournament “a fun little tournament where you can run around and have a good time.”

“There are a lot of kids on campus who like to play a pick-up game and stuff like that, and a lot of freshman coming up and like to do that,” Conklin said. “We use it as an opportunity for anyone who wants to come out and have a good time and have free food and also to get word out about the club.”

Conklin said he found out about the club through this event when he was a freshman.

“I came to this the first year and had never heard about it before, and now this is my fifth year,” Conklin said. “So that worked out pretty well.”

The men’s and women’s team will have representatives on each pick-up team, ready to offer a brief tutorial to beginners before taking to the field.

Winners will receive gift cards and giveaways from Great Outdoor Provisions, and while players relax after a hard match and enjoy food from a taco bar provided by Cuevo de Lobos, they can watch the men’s and women’s teams play in a scrimmage against each other.

“While everyone’s eating their food, we’ll have a co-ed scrimmage of the men’s and women’s teams so people can watch a full-scale game in real time,” Murray said.

Meghan O’Brien, a sophomore in graphic design, has taken charge of publicity of the tournament.

“Last year, it rained before we could do it so we didn’t get that good of a turnout,” O’Brien said. “But this year we have a rain date that’s more concrete. Hopefully a lot of people will come out and find out what we’re all about.”
