Squamish Soccerfest 2010

[klons]

That time of year again, registration is slated for opening next weekend to my knowledge.

Tournament is April 18/19, should be a good fun weekend as it usually is.

 

[klons]

Excuse the typo, April 17/18th.

Any teams looking for group accom, leave me a message as I work front desk at the local (2 week old) Holiday Inn which is a two minute drive to the fields.

 

[bam bam]

what teams sign up like from fvsl or vmsl it does not matter,What calibur?

 

[klons]

Teams from all over have entered in recent years. ACBC, Punjab Hurricanes, Sikh Temple to name a few.

Varied caliber of teams, given that there are multiple age ranges for the groups.

Some teams play the odd premier level player (believe a limit of 2 per team are allowed), others are full out beer league teams mostly there to have fun.

Squamish Tournament is great. Beergardens are always Bumpin..Sometimes to much..lol the music is so loud you cant hear your players on the field next to it.
Its held at the same time as the Provincial tournament. Because most Premier players are in the Provincials most of the guys are unavailable so you dont see to many Premier guys. We have gone the last 3 years but were takeing this year off. We never seem to do very well for some reason at this tournament.LOL
Its always been pretty warm and the grass fields are not to bad considering its only early April in Squamish.
Well organized and lots of fun.
I recommend it.
Our newly promoted Div 1 team will be back in the future for sure.
I would say its a good Div 1 Tournament.

[Regs]

I have some tentative rates for advertising on TTP - want to do the right thing going forward?

 

[Captain Shamrock]

What are the rates for Shagging Rooms?

 

[Tuna]

Just don't book a room at the Sea to Sky Hotel. The hotel manager has a serious hate on for soccer teams (even more so than others) and one way or another will find a way to suck the life out of your credit card.

2 years ago he charged me for breaking the springs on a fold-out bed. Bed hadn't even been used during our stay. He tried force charging my c/c $600 but I cancelled it before he was able to put the charge through.

Squamish tourney is a great time, just steer clear of that dickhead.

 

[klons]

Crap, sorry Regs, mentally noted.

Feel free to edit things out to your hearts content.

 

[Polska]

What are the rates for Shagging Rooms?

depends .....

discounts if its a local

 

[klons]

A month to go, just curious if anybody from here is taking part?

I know Ghouse mentioned no ACBC this year, Bombastic and a few others have traditionally came down for the weekend.
