Happy Belated Halloween + News
Hey everyone,
I hope you all had a good Halloween. DePaul Dodgeball’s annual Halloween costume night took place last night, and by all accounts it was a great time. Expect more insanity to insue throughout the year, costumes or not.
First and foremost, I would like to apologize for not being around much recently. I’ve had to focus on some personal stuff, mostly school/academic things, that have forced me to miss dodgeball nights more than I would like. Expect more of me next term though!!!
Some big news on Nationals… due to pressure from the NCDA head honchos and not much movement on the planning front, it has been determined by myself and other team captains that we won’t be able to host the National Tournament this year. As much fun as it would be, it’s just too big of a headache for the club, especially considering that it would likely have to be held at another site off campus. That would be lame. So, in all likelihood, GVSU will again be hosting this year.
However, that is not to say that we will not be having any other matches or tournaments here. There is a high probability that we will end up hosting a few matches or a small tournament sometime in the winter, but plans need to be hashed out. Keep posted on that.
Currently, Tony V. is really starting to get jersey stuff in the works. We have it pretty much pinned down what company we’re going to work through, and we’re likely going to be buying basketball… yes, basketball… style jerseys (shorts and tops). They are gonna look pretty B.A. when it’s all said and done, and we’re likely going to have sponsorship emblems on them as well. Look forward to that stuff, and once more news is in about prices and sizes, I’ll let ya’ll know.
With finals just around the corner, I would like to wish all of you happy studying. The last dodgeball of the quarter will take place on Thursday, November 19th. Until them, business as usual.
