well since I've transfered I've been looking for anyone here that knows or knew of a past team but I haven't gotten any information so far.
We'll see what happens though, i'm going to be talking to the director of club sports for the next week or two about it.

Well hopefully you can get a team going by Nationals (this coming April) or by next year, it'd be awesome to get more Big Ten teams in our league! Good luck getting approved and getting recruits!

Nightman, if you can, come down October 2nd with a few people you'd like to start a club with. We're having a hat tourney, and it will give them a taste for blood. and by blood i mean dodging.
Or come down one Thursday or Monday. We'll call it a match and get your guys in for free.
If you need any help with anything, I've just sat through all of DePaul's club officer trainings. So hit us up.

Holy Sh*t i'm now going through the whole process to become a club sport here at UW and it is INTENSE. I've so far completed 2, 7-page official Student Organization forms and submissions as well as a Club Constitution and By-law paper and now have to petition with the board of club teams to see if they will vote my club (2/3 majority) into an official club sport organization.
WHEW
If anyone has their Team Purpose/Constitutions i could see for better ideas and if there is a place with set dates for tournaments let me know i need to include all of it.

The links might change around in a few weeks when I finish up our site, but i hosted ours at DePaulDodgeball.com for ya. It's an oldie but it still works. We will probably rework it soon though. There is a schedule at the top left of NCDAdodgeball.com, but I think Bomis and Raymer are working on a schedule/event page. Plus it says late october when the match is 10-23 and at WIU not DePaul. I also have a DePaul schedule in the scheduling section. Nationals 2010 was the April 11 weekend. If you need some schedule boosting, feel free to make up any UWM @ DePaul matches throughout the year.

Hate to top old posts but update:
Badger Dodgeball is officially recognized as a STUDENT ORG this means now I have to get it passed into the CLUB sports section, and somehow reserve gymspace... I might not be able to do it this semester unfortunately now that its October, however we have intramural dodgeball coming up and i will definitely have a team and spread the word about an official Madison team.
Halfway there! will keep you updated.

Brian,
If you guys want to get out and playing, contact the guys at UW-Platteville at uwpdodgeball@gmail.com. They would be thrilled to have someone to play that is not 3 hours away. I am sure they would be happy for you guys to come over and play with them, even if you don't have a full squad or are even fully official yet. I'm graduated so I am not sure who is even in charge now, but I know that email still goes to whoever the main contact is.
Also, if you want to get some court time for now, check out some of the bar tournaments. When we first started, we went to a bunch of the MUSA and KEVA tournaments in Madison until we kinda got run out for winning too many of them. It's a good way to at least get out and play some people.
If you need some help with anything while you get going, let me know. I went through basically that same process as it sounds like you are going through, so I know what you are dealing with. I live in Janesville and winters are pretty slow at work, so I might be able to help if you need anything. Just shoot me an email because I rarely am on here at skellys at uwplatt dot edu.
