Tournaments, like Yell Like Hell and Lawn Displays, have been a homecoming tradition for many years, and help bring students together for fun games and activities.

This year, tournaments will be held for laser tag, soccer, basketball, indoor volleyball, treds football and Nintendo 64. There is also an Olympics event, which consists of Tug-O-War, Ice-Cream Eating Contest, Fooseball and Badminton.

Participation regulations outline that Cardinal Division teams competing in tournaments are only allowed to use members of their respective organizations. Also, only one team per organization will be allowed to participate in each homecoming tournament.

Sportsmanship points will be given to each organization at the beginning of the first tournament. Any team with 100 percent participation in all of its registered tournament events (including homecoming olympics) will be awarded 30 extra points — equivalent to a fifth-place win in an individual tournament.

The events will take place in locations both on and off campus, including the Lied Recreation Center, the Towers fields, Perfect Games, Forker Gym and the Alumni Center Reiman Ballroom.

All tournaments are free, and all winning teams receive a free Homecoming 2010 tournaments T-shirt. Along with Saturday football, the weekend’s calendar includes: tournaments, free concert, pancake feed, LSI’s annual fundraiser, homecoming tailgate and mass campaniling and fireworks.
