Lincoln (Neb.) - Nov. 5, 1999 - One of the nation's largest regional flag football tournaments will be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Nov. 19-21.

Some 60 teams from eight states will compete in the "Target College Regional Flag Football Tournament presented by Nestle and Mentadent." The tournament offers men's, women's and co-rec competition. Winners will advance to the National College Flag Football Tournament in New Orleans, which is played as part of the Sugar Bowl Festival Dec. 26- 30.

"We are pleased to again be hosting the best student athletes in the region," said Charles Anderson, tournament director. "It will be a weekend of exciting competition for both players and spectators."

A NU team won the national co-rec championship in 1996.

The tournament will be played at the following sites: east campus fields (east of plant science greenhouses), Cather-Pound fields (17th and Vine streets), Mabel Lee fields (16th and W streets), 19th and Vine fields, and Cook Pavilion in the Campus Recreation Center.
