BRIEF HISTORY
Gender Blender is the creation of Mark Evans and Dan Berman, who together thought up and nurtured the tournament from inception to a 40 team carnival throughout the opening seven years.

Starting in 1997 as an early development in competitive mixed ultimate, Gender Blender quickly developed a reputation as the essential start to a summer of ultimate in the Great Lakes area. Teams are attracted from as far afield as Denver, New York and Cincinnati.

Mark and Dan put in a great effort over their tenure and decided to hand over the reins to Karen, Dilhan and Giles in 2004. Due to the recent addition of Henry Hood Deshon, on the day before the tournament in 2006, Dilhan essentially ran the tournament on his own with the able assistance of our awesome band of volunteers. He reprised that role unexpectedly in 2007 when Giles suffered a major leg fracture on day 1 of the event and Karen and Giles had to return to Toronto.

The tourney now is under the direction of The Ultimate Experience. Blue and the rest of his team are very excited for the future of this event as they continue to expand the tourney to 50 teams in 2010.
