BUCYRUS REDMEN 5th ANNUAL

7 ON 7 PASSING TOURNAMENT / LINEMAN CHALLENGE

Saturday, July 17 and/or 24, 2010
Bucyrus Sports Complex

Dear Coaches,

Last year our 4th Annual Bucyrus Redmen 7 on 7 Passing Tournament / Lineman Challenge was a
big success! We had thirty-eight teams from ten different conferences competing in our 7-on-7 /
Lineman Challenge competitions. This year we are looking for a total of twenty different schools to
compete in the tournament and the lineman challenge. We give a rotating trophy to the team that wins
the 7on 7 tournament and trophies to the top three teams in the 7-on-7 / Lineman Challenge. We also
have concessions throughout the day and T-shirts available for the sale at the tournament.
We are hosting two separate tournaments this season just like last two years. The first will take
place on the Saturday, July 17, 2010; the second on Saturday, July 24, 2010. Both tournaments will be
run using the same format as long as the numbers are available and lineman challenge events.
The cost is $75.00 per team and $15.00 for each additional team. If you wish to play in both
tournaments on the 17th and 24th, the cost will be $125.00 for as many teams as you want to play on
both days. As long as you are in the tournament, there is no fee for the Lineman Challenge. All checks
should be payable to Bucyrus Booster Club. Admission for fans will be one dollar and we will have
several concession stands and t-shirts for sale. We hope to see you at our tournament this year!

Best wishes for a great off-season!

Yours in coaching,
