The University of Florida will be holding the Rex Grossman Memorial 
on Sunday, January 18th 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.  All carbon-based life forms are eligible to play. Free 
agents can contact Michael Napier at the address below for placement.
