To All Participants of the Rush Cup 2012:

Thank you to all participating teams who played in this past weekend’s Rush Cup. We greatly appreciate you coming to the Woodlands/Conroe area and look forward to seeing you in the future. Unfortunately Mother Nature was not cooperative this year but we hope you enjoyed the games you did play. To be fair to all, we will determine bracket winners based on two games played from Saturday's schedule. Once we have finished the process of checking scores we will update our web page with the bracket winners. Please be patient, we will post them as soon as possible. Winners and runner ups will be contacted by e-mail for an address so we can send medals to you.

Thanks to all again for your participation and making the RUSH CUP a great event.

Regards,

Stuart Fitzsimons
