In what might be the best and most unique tournament experience of the year, the Medellin goverment agency NDER and the Medellin Ultimate community (in partnership with American Airlines) are bringing the TEP preparations to a close. With Riot, Traffic, Sockeye and Furious confirmed to attend, this tournament will be bringing North American teams to South American to play against many new faces and in a great stadium (the Estadio Medellin).

There are still spots open for North American teams that are interested. The tournament is the Wed-Sat of American Thanksgiving weekend in November, which makes it a tough sell for US teams. Players (at least many of them) will stay at the Hotel Nutibara for approximately $20 per night. It also makes it a fun and competitive international tournament at a time when many have some time off work, in the eternal spring of Medellin.

The website is in the works, and is at tepmedellin.com. Interested in bringing a men’s or a women’s team? You can write to the director at info@tepmedellin.com.
