Dear Ultimate Community,
The Washington University Women's Ultimate (WUWU) program is proud to
host the second annual Women's Midwest Throwdown in St. Louis, MO.
Throwdown was founded by the University of Texas Women's Ultimate
program last season as a way to provide women's teams in the South and
Midwest with more opportunities to play against quality competition
and to promote the growth of college women's ultimate. With the
support of Texas, we are looking forward to hosting Throwdown this
year and continuing to build women's ultimate in this part of the
country.
When: March 7-8, 2009
Where: St. Louis, MO
Cost: $300
Teams: Up to 24 women's teams
Bids: To submit a bid, please contact us at: throwdown.td (at) gmail

Depending upon interest, we may divide the tournament into a Division
I and a Division II. We will be accepting bids on a rolling basis by
historical program strength and/or recent Regional and National
finishes. The bid window will close January 15, 2009. We have
interest from a number of top teams including recent Nationals
Qualifiers from the South, Great Lakes, and Central Regions. We
welcome bids from all college women's teams, especially teams in the
South and Midwest.
We will be updating the list of accepted teams and submitted bids at:
