Come out and help support the local rugby community.

Gopher Drones will be there streaming the matches.

The tourney is an open co-ed tournament hosted by the St. Paul Jazz Pigs where teams are picked at random, so showing up with your team, a couple friends, or by yourself is totally an option! We recommend bringing all your friends though, it’s just more fun that way.

Cost is $50/player and registration is from 9-10AM. This is a charity tournament and we don’t keep any of the profits. Fees get you a tournament shirt, and cover the field, refs, food and drink at the social, and goes to support the family of Josh “Screech” Thesing, who was tragically killed in a hit and run in 2022.

Players: If you intend to come to play, please select “going” and not “interested” so we can have a good headcount on how many shirts to order. It is played outdoors in the snow, so dress up in your finest warm clothes, that you can still kind of run around in.

Spectators: Also come dressed for the weather, but the casual stand around type of winter gear would be fine. $30 gets you food and drink at the social following all the matches. Please select “interested” so we can have a good headcount for food.
