Hello fellow humans and Chadd,

GhostFace Keller has been bugging me to send out the information about Fowl Play to the larger group. Kudos to his persistence. For those who haven't participated before, Fowl Play is a large-and-growing frisbee golf ultimate tournament hosted by some local friends. For the price they put this together at, I guarantee you there is no better or more better organized deal than this shindig. For like $20 bucks you get a packed frisbee schedule, a shirt, pie, bagels, and at least one of the organizers will recite Shia Labeouf's full, unedited half hour motivational speech. That isn't on the website but ask them about it in person. Definitely a thing (that we can start now). I'm not going to say much more because all of the details are below. If you are interested, sign up soon because spots are liable to fill up- attendance is capped to make sure everyone gets enough playing time. Click on their link in the email below. JUST DO IT.

Anyhow, here's their email:

Hey everyone!

**Main Description**
**First thing, don't speed in the forest preserve**. We've had a few individuals get pulled over / ticketed for going like 25 (the limit is 15).
**More people show up than the number that RSVP!** We usually have at least a game of 5-on-5 going, and almost, almost always have at least 7-on-7. (Winter games are the exception. We still play, but numbers are often weaker.)
We are a pick-up game. Not any sort of championship game. Don't worry about "letting your team down" or anything like that. This is a great way to get outside, get in a good amount of running, and to meet new friends.
**All ages and ability levels are welcome \~ *we really mean this.*** Our youngest player was 10 (now 11 or 12), our oldest was 73 before he called it quits (he still comes to picnics). We have a group of people that play multiple times a week in leagues, and then we have new players come who we teach to play on the field. Some of us are in really good physical shape - others get winded after a few runs up the field. It is a great time and you will fit right in!
The most important thing - this is a pickup game. Our skill levels vary quite a bit. Again, we have league/club/college players and we have completely new folks. If you want to be competitive, match up against someone else playing competitively. If you're a beginner, match up against the other beginners **(And ask questions!)**. We enjoy learning strategy, playing a good game, and getting in a workout - but we are mainly out here to play and **have fun.**
We distinguish teams by "light" colors (usually white) and "dark" colors (usually everything else). Try to bring a WHITE and a dark (NOT GREY) to each game, so we can make teams even. At the very least, **please don't wear grey.** It's neither light nor dark and is really good at confusing people in the heat of the game.
The games basically run themselves. So when you come, **just jump in.** Everyone is really friendly. We were all new to the group once before.
