So be sure you have your teams in Iowa Falls ready to play at 9:00 AM Saturday May 6.

The format for the tournament in Iowa Falls will be similar to the 1999 format. There will be no party organized by the host club. The Iowa Union, Midwest union and USARFU have spoken in the past about club behavior and responsibility. The addition of Youth and High School programs participants should learn by our example of professionalism. We all are held accountable for the progress the sport of Rugby will take over our generation. Anyone is welcome to visit the local establishments and have a good time. Please conduct yourselves professionally and please designate someone in your group to be the driver.
Camping will be allowed again at the facility. For those wishing to camp we ask the noise after midnight be held down as best as possible. Last year the local law enforcement and the Sheriff made several passes through the campgrounds and we a welcoming them back this year. Please use the fire rings for camp fires and we ask that driving be done in designated routes only and under 10 MPH or you will be asked to leave the camping area.
