How can I pay for MudStock?
All fees must be paid in cash.

 

Who can play?
Any current BC student with a valid student ID is welcome and encouraged to play MudStock.

 

Why do I need 3 guys & 3 girls?
In order to keep the teams as fair as possible, we ask that all teams have a minimum of 3 guys and 3 girls on their team (and on the court) at all times. By enforcing this rule, we can try and make the tournament "match-ups" as fair as possible to all players.

 

What is the Captain’s Meeting & why is it mandatory?
The Captain’s Meeting is an official meeting held the week of the tournament. The captain of each team (or a replacement member) is required to attend this meeting. At this meeting we will announce start times, court placements, necessary name changes, unveil the official MudStock T-shirt, address any registration and money issues, discuss official rules for the day of the event, and answer any questions. Attendance is mandatory as start times and court placements are assigned at this meeting. Also, MudStock is limited to the first 64 teams and therefore should you miss the meeting your team automatically forfeits and will be replaced by a team on the waiting list. The Captain’s Meeting will be Monday April 27th at 7 PM in the Eagle’s Nest. If you have additional questions regarding the Captain’s Meeting please contact us.
