Lincoln (Neb.) - Nov. 13, 2000 - One of the nation's largest regional flag football tournaments will be held Nov. 17-19 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
More than 60 teams from eight states will compete in the "U.S. Army Reserve Regional Flag Football Tournament presented by Uncle Ben's." The tournament offers men's, women's and co-rec competition. Winners will receive a travel stipend and advance to the National College Flag Football Tournament, which is played as part of the Sugar Bowl Festival Dec. 27-31 in New Orleans.
"It has been exciting to host the competition at Nebraska for eight years running," said Charles Anderson, tournament director. "It always proves to be a fun weekend for both players and fans."
An 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
