Lodging
All participants should plan to camp (RV’s & campers are welcome) at the tournament site on Friday & Saturday. The tournament site will house 6 fields, a HUGE camping area, large swimming pond, showers, & stage. Within a 5-min drive of the tournament site is Walmart, gas stations, several fast food restaurants, etc. No pets, camp fires, fireworks, or weapons are allowed at the tournament site. The camp site is open to setup camp anytime after noon on Thursday.

Thursday Night Pre-Welcome Party
While the official tournament welcome party is Friday night at the tournament site, Nooga Rugby is also hosting a pre-welcome party in downtown Chattanooga on Thursday night for those of you who come into town early for the rafting trip. The party will start at our home bar, "Mike's Hole in the Wall" at 6:30 pm and include one (1) free keg. Once the free keg is kicked, you're on your own but the good news is that Mike's sells some of the cheapest beer in town. Our best guess is that we'll start there and after a few hours we'll bar hop our way through the rest of downtown Chattanooga. Any and all Pitch A Tent participants are encouraged to attend. Here are the details:
