Q: When are bids due?
A: Bids will be filled on a rolling admission basis based on strength of program, geographic diversity, and legacy with Trouble in Vegas. The initial deposit of $300 is due by December 18, 2007 to secure your team's bid. See our registration section for full details.


Q: Why are you charging per-player fees instead of team fees?
A: The tournament site for Trouble in Vegas ups it's field rental cost every year. Rather than increasing the bid cost for all teams to shoulder (i.e. a tournament entry fee of $450+), we felt it was more fair to charge teams on a per player basis so that squads with fewer players are not priced out of the event. Essentially, the per-player fee guarantees equal-opportunity Trouble.


Q: Do you have a refund policy?
A: Yes, we definitely have a refund policy in place. Sometimes plans change and players bail, and we want to make sure organizers don't get caught in the lurch. You can check out the full policy here.


Q: Will there be food at the site?
A: We will, of course, have the standard fare of bagels, fruit and, water. However, we're attempting to go beyond the usual this year with amenities - though we've yet to work our details, there will definitely be some top notch fare.
We are also working with local food vendors to provide other amenities (such as on-site pizza, and we'll know more about this as the tournament approaches.

Q: Will there be concessions?
A: There will definitely be a pizza stand hosted by a local eatery. We'll update this site as we broker more amenities.

Q: Will there be tournament merchandise for sale?
A: Yes, there will be discs and 5ultimate apparel for sale.

Q: Will there be a party?
A: The last few years it's been almost impossible to host the kind of party that Trouble in Vegas deserves. The town has an aversion to the under-21 crowd, and that has effected our ability to rent facilities or broker deals. Nonetheless, we understand that with an early season tournament such as Trouble, it is crucial to create a gathering where ultimate teams from across the nation can mingle. This problem is getting the full measure of attention it deserves, and we will publish more information as soon as we have it.

Q: I heard the fields are hard. Are they?
A: It's true, the fields are hard. The fields were particularly bad in 2006 due to the drought out West. However, the site was way, way better in 2007 and we've been assured by Clark County that they're doing what they can to have the fields in the best shape possible by February.

Q: Seriously, has anyone died at TiV?
Not to our knowledge.

Q: Is camping allowed at the fields?
A: Clark County Parks and Rec (the Vegas field host) does not allow camping at the field site. We are currently working with local hotels to provide great deals for both weekends.

Q: Will there be a tournament hotel?
Yes, we're working on group discounts now and will have more information soon.

Q: Are dogs allowed?
A: Dogs are also not permitted, please leave Rover at home. Is that joke old?

Q: What happens if it rains?
A: According to the site managers, they have never had rain-related shutdowns. One might also take comfort in that the average rainfall in Las Vegas for the entire month of February is .45 inches. To give this some perspective, it would have to rain 4 times that amount in a single day to shut down most field sites.
