| I think that this is a wonderful cause, in fact thats why I kept reading. I am the owner of The Connecticut Panthers. I am writing this because we actually have the field booked from 6pm~10pm and the time of your tourney caught my eye. Im going to call the scheduler to get to the bottom of it as you should do the same. With that being said we are interested in making a small donation for the cause. This is something my wife and I feel very strong about

| Bulldogs are in this event, and issue a challenge to all teams who enter to see what team can raise the most money outside of the entry fee. Put your teams name out there and hit up all your friends, family, fans and sponsors. Help raise more money for a great cause.
This should be the real goal for all teams who are entering this event. Maybe there could be an award for the team who raises the most money. Just an idea. Hope teams who enter this tournament take my challenge.
Thanks Joe Muz #3

IT'S A SAD THING YES I KNOW, BUT THE TWO TEAMS THAT COMPETED IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HAD GREAT SPORTSMANSHIP (KNIGHTS VS. GUNZ) BOTH TEAMS DECIDED TO CALL THE GAME WITH 7 MINUTES LEFT WHEN FINDING OUT THE TROPHY WAS GONE. THEY AGREED ON "CO-CHAMPS" CONSIDERING WHOEVER WON THE TROPHY WAS GOING TO DONATE IT BACK TO A CHILD WITH THE AUTISM DIAGNOSIS ANYWAYS...
