It is still early but you are welcome to throw you name on the roster.
Since 1977, the Maggots have hosted a festival-style rugby tournament, held the first weekend of May. Maggotfest features 36 teams (28 men's and 8 women's sides) from throughout the US and Canada, with an occasional team from other exotic places. The emphasis at Maggotfest is on both the competition of the sport and on the fun aspects of rugby. Fest regularly features top first and second division clubs looking to test their skills, as well as more social sides out for some good matches and good times. We match teams that might not ordinarily get to meet each other, and are on a somewhat even level. Teams are encouraged to not only play great rugby, but wear costumes and present creative skits. The small $450 registration fee gives you free beer all weekend and a party Saturday night. Unlike most tournaments, there is no elimination process to decide a champion - everyone gets the same number of matches. There's plenty of opportunities for additional games, as this is a rugby whore's paradise. All teams are presented with a Maggoty trophy at the end of Fest, with a special "Best Play on the Pitch" trophy given to the team we observed to have the best playing ability. Equally as important, is the big trophy for the "Most Honored Side", the team with the best overall rugby attitude, both on and off the pitch.
