Awards
We take spirit seriously at Gender Blender. It’s an iron-gut triathlon of partying, playing hard ultimate and enjoying the camaraderie of spirited play. As an additional element of fun, and as part of the spirit of mixed ultimate that the Blender continues, every team cheers each other after every game.
We ask every team to vote for the team that epitomize the Blender for them, at the merchandise tent as soon as games are over on Saturday. If you’ve had a problem with a team, let the organizers know or put it on paper and drop it in the same box.
