First 50 paid participants will get a free tournament tshirt 

and for the duals portion of the event we have teams from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Florida signed up. I'd love to have some teams from Kentucky make the trip up. If you didn't want to pay for a hotel, you'd be allowed to stay in gym.
