It’s been awhile ya’ll. Since we came home from “Nashonals” everything has been relatively low key, with nothing but regular dodgeball nights at the Ray goin’ down. However, there are several updates in relation to the 2009-2010 academic year that you guys should know about, especially…

- If everything goes according to plan, and we pull a bunch of strings… WE’RE HOSTING THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE DODGEBALL ASSOCIATION’S POSTSEASON TOURNAMENT AT DEPAUL NEXT YEAR!!! After much deliberation and discussion, DePaul Dodgeball has decided that it is in our best interest as a club and member of the NCDA to play host for this tournament, and we already have some very grand ideas. We’re holding a meeting with Student Life this upcoming Tuesday to discuss the major issues and problems we’ll encounter with hosting it here at DePaul, but we’re confident we’ll be able to pull it off. We’re gonna need a lot of help with this, with everything from referees to sponsorships, so if you wanna help in any capacity let us know.

- Also, there are FINALLY plans for a campus wide dodeball tournament being held next fall as a promotional fundraising event. The format will hopefully end up being a 64 team tournament (like March Madness) with 5 man teams. There will also hopefully be a loser’s bracket, since we’re only going to be playing one game matches, but either way, it’s gonna be a great event for the campus and DePaul Dodeball. Stay tuned for more.

- To those of you who are or plan on being regulars next year… we’re getting ACTUAL jerseys. This is gonna happen sometime in the early fall, so contact me if you want one and plan on being a match/tournament roster.

- We’re shooting a promotional video for recruitment purposes in the fall quarter!!! We’re trying to have footage captured every Monday and Thursday night, so if you wanna own someone on camera and be in our advert, come on out. We’ll be showing this video at all our promotional events next fall, and also post it on the website.

- And finally… our good friend Brendan Leahy recently shot and directed a short video for the “We Are DePaul” contest. Our club is shown shortly in his video, so check it out here.

Hope to see you all on Monday at 9:30 (as always) for the shoot!!!
