Hey everyone- I sustained a sprained elbow and dislocated wrist Saturday at the Boston Invite. The Adoctors haven't been able to set my wrist so I am still in Massachusetts and scheduled to go under tomorrow. Communication might be a little slow for a few days until I get back to Chicago but every email will get a response. Thanks for your patience and apologies for any inconvenience. -akira

6.19.08
We are in the process of trying to negotiate a (modest) event discount for travel to CHC 2008 with American Airlines. To make this work, CHC must be able to guarantee that at least a small number of people will take advantage of this opportunity (just the total group from everyone who comes to the event -- different departure cities, different flights, etc. all ok) Please contact me if you think this discount may be of interest to you or your team.
6.15.08
We are very happy to announce that FIVE ULTIMATE will be returning as the official merchandise partner for 2008. An array of event amenities including pre-event deals on FIVE custom team gear, prizes for participants, player or team gifts, field site fun for all, and more are being negotiated.
6.15.08
The Chicago Heavyweight Championships will be held on Sept. 6-7 at the Naperville Polo Club. The tourney fee is $355 per team.
(There's some chance we can refund captains a modest portion of the tourney fee, day of the event, if we can talk certain of our vendors into holding the line, or find other ways to cram costs.)
