super easy and we had two rookies in the top 6 last year!
Sign up ASAP by filling out and sending the attached registration

Friday Night Black Shirt Silent Auction June 24th:
At the coast we don't do "black tie" but we will do "black
shirt"! We will have a Friday Night Check in and Silent Auction
at Twist Wine Tasting Room in down town Pacific City (don't worry...we'll
have some cool BLACK SLINGBALL SHIRTS for only $10). Nothing fancy,
but a chance to taste some wine and bid on some cool donated items to raise
additional funds.
Mini
Marilyn Kids Slingball Tourney: Due to lots of
interest, we will be hosting a Kids Tourney 12 years old and under.
$40 entry gets kids a t-shirt, BBQ, and participation metal. Similar
rules, double elimination, but play to 11. If you have a child who
like to participate, please fill out and send in the attached Mini Marilyn
Kids Slingball registration form.
Volunteers needed! With the tournament growing, if you are not
playing...you can still volunteer to help keep score or keep the tourney
moving. You can also volunteer even if you are playing in the
tourney. Please check the volunteer box on the registration form if
you'd like to volunteer!

The
favorites:
Bryan
"Green Machine" Green.
Named the Green Machine a) for his last name and b) for his compulsive
support of the Oregon Ducks. Huskies & Beavers ..bring it on!
Kit
"knuckle ball" Harper, known
for his unique knuckle ball style, a true throw back player. Champion
from two years back, still a very dangerous apponent.
Carter
"the Negator" Neu, known for his supreme defensive
play. He simply "negates" each of his opponents
tosses and wears his terminator sunglasses to intimidate his
opponent. Runner up last year and has his own professional court in
his back yard.
Brian
"Frank the Tank" Cook, known
for his cool, calm comebacks. He lulls his opponents into a false
sense of security, then suddenly scores in large bunches to eliminate
them. Try to get Brian to transfer to Frank (his alter ego) the night
prior.
Tyson
"Sea Bass" Labrousse, a two time champion with incredible
stamina. He literally wears his opponents down with consistent precision.
Past his prime? Or Primed for return to supremacy?
Bill
"the Competitor" Swanick who's "rookie of the year" performance last
year catapulted him into the semis. A true competitor that does not
like to lose!
Angela
"Swoosh" Dagler, who works for Nike and is outfitted in "state of the art"
Swoosh gear. The only female to ever crack the semi-finals and with a
chip on her shoulder to take the guys down!
Steve
"Male P" Gotsch, you have to buy him a beer to find out his nickname.
Also, the man who took out Kit "knuckle ball" Harper.
Rob "the
Huskie" Warnaca, representing the great city of Seattle
and the Purple & Gold. He hunts Beavers and Ducks!
Ronan
"the ultimate warrior" Eggleston,
even though Ronan's name is spelled different than the famous Ronin Warriors, it's too good pass up and just sounds
super cool. Roll with it Ronan!
Craig
"Racer 5" Cook, fueled
by Racer 5 IPA, Craig has perfected his toss by performing massive amounts
of "16 ounce" curls. Yes, he has a Keg in his garage.
Erik
Wald & Aaron Angelo, if
these two match up you won't want to miss it. Like Ali vs. Frazier,
Magic vs. Bird, Frodo vs. Golum ...you get the
point.
Thanks
again all!
