Beginnings
Sitting on the beach in Hawaii after Kaimana Klassic 18, sipping rum drinks, staring at the surf...
Skip: "You know where a cool place to host a tournament would be?
pause. sips rum drink
Skip: "Vegas...there should be a tournament in Vegas"
Josh:"That's the worst idea ever."
Ben:"Or the best."
Skip:"It's true, someone would die, but can you imagine...."
Trouble in Vegas 2006
What began as a pipe dream on the beach became one of the more talked about events in 2006. After locating the field site in early June of 2005 (but unfortunately having to wait until November to gain site approval from the Clark County Parks and Rec office), Trouble in Vegas was born.
College Trouble in Vegas brought together 93 teams in 4 divisions. Squads came from all over the US and Canada, and everyone did their damndest to pack as much playing, drinking, dancing, gambling, and other assorted Trouble in to a 72 hour period. In the end, many a fantasy was realized, some innocence was lost, and the legend of TiV was indelibly carved into the annals of ultimate history.
