The University of Florida will be holding the
Steve Spurrier Memorial Trash Tournament: "Oh Ball Coach, My Ball Coach" 
on Sunday, January 19th 2003. This is
the day after the non-trash Sunshine State
Invitational at UF on MLK Weekend. The tournament will be a
packet-submission tournament (any playoff rounds will be written by
UF) and should be over by 4pm for those with longer
drives back.

The tournament format will most likely be a round robin. Rounds will
consist of 20
untimed tossups with one lame available to each team. There will be
suitably trashy 
prizes awarded at the conclusion of the tournament. Anyone is eligible to
play in the tournament (except the Florida A team). Free agents can
contact 
Jeff Zahnen at the address below for placement.
