?This is the first time an extramural tournament of this magnitude has been hosted on the University of Arkansas campus,? said Bill Mock, associate director of intramural sports for University Recreation.

A NIRSA Regional Flag Football Tournament presents an opportunity for intramural teams from different schools across a region and the country to play other teams from other schools after their own campus championships.?

?Having the chance to host a regional tournament is an honor because it is an opportunity to show off our university and the UREC intramural program to so many students and staff from across the country,? said Seth Davis, graduate assistant for Intramural Sports.??It is also an opportunity to help develop our student staff and players into professionals while also allowing the U of A intramural program to become more recognized among other recreation programs across the country.?

Intramural student officials come from all over the region to officiate these games. There are eight regionals across the country overall.

Champions from each regional receive stipends to travel and participate in the National Flag Football Tournament at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Fla.?The top student officials also get selected and receive stipends to work the national championships.
