I'm working hard to find a venue for Saturday, January 1st. I know this is 
very frustrating for those of you trying to make travel plans for this event, 
and i apologize, but it is nearly impossible to find facilities that are not 
closed on New Years day.

**Host Hotel**
The Hilton Inn at Penn (walking distance from the tourny) 
Rooms are available for friday, saturday, and sunday night at the discounted 
price of $119 USD per night (steep, i know, but its a 4-star).

These rates will be available until December 19th, just mention "Philly-
footworks block rate."

**Entrance and Competition Fees**
The entrance fee will be $10.00 USD (This fee does not apply to spectators, 
only those who plan on playing footbag)

If you are going to compete, there will be additional competition fees ontop 
of the entrance fees:

Open Shred 30 (prize money event), $25.00 USD

Intermediate Shred 30 (prize money event), $15.00 USD

Novice Consecutives, FREE ENTRANCE!! There will be prizes distributed 
on a winner-take-all basis. The purpose of this event is to promote novices 
to compete, and to learn their consecutives, as every novice player 
should :). NOTE: Sandbagging is a no-no. If you are NOT a novice player, and 
are merely trying to compete in this because it is free, this will not be 
allowed. 

All payments will be made at the door the day of the tournament, and 
competition registration will also occur at this time.

**Clothing**
This year, we're switching it up from the standard t-shirts to a cool Chilly 
Philly 05 embroidered beanie (toques, skullies). These are very nice, quality 
embroidered beanies which will be sold for $12.00 USD. NOTE: supplies are 
limited, and will be sold on a first come first serve basis.
