Savage has a busy month coming up in August with some major tournaments happening all over the world. Want to follow us on our adventures? Here's where you can find us this month!

August 3-6, 2017 — Ultimate Dodgeball Championship hosted by SkyZone

Thirty-two teams will meet in Chicago, Illinois to battle it out for a $50,000 prize pool. These teams have all advanced from regional competitions to arrive at this hotly anticipated event. ESPN2 will be airing some matches this time around after years of appearances on ESPN3. Savage is proud to provide apparel for five of the teams' uniforms and sponsorships for all quarterfinal match gear. 

August 12-13, 2017 — Major League Quidditch Championship

After another successful season, the MLQ returns to League City, Texas. Twelve teams will spend the weekend fighting for the coveted Benepe Cup* and title of best team in Major League Quidditch. Teams nationwide have gotten great press this year, and Savage is proud to be the official apparel partner of the MLQ! 

 *The Benepe Cup is named after MLQ founder Alex Benepe, who coincidentally is the lead organizer for the Ultimate Dodgeball Championship. Put that in your trivia pipe and...hold it. Smoking is bad for you. 

August 26, 2017 — Quidditch Premier League Championship

With an inaugural season comes an inaugural championship! We're sure Jack Lennard, founder and president of the QPL, is excited to crown the QPL's first champion as we all wait with bated breath to see who will arise victorious. Though Savage's partnership with the QPL is not even a year old, we anticipate great things from this league and its players. 

Last weekend SAVAGE spent four days in Las Vegas as the official merchandiser of Sky Zone’s 2016 Ultimate Dodgeball Championship. The tournament brought together the top 53 trampoline dodgeball teams from three different countries to compete for a grand prize of $50,000. Not only did SAVAGE set up a booth and sell apparel, we also provided staff polos and referee jerseys. 

Unfamiliar with the sport? Take gym class dodgeball and mix it with elite athletes, then go ahead and add floors and walls made entirely of trampolines. These ingredients combine to make one exciting sport for both the players and the spectators.

The first two days of the tournament consisted of round robin play to establish seeding. The third day began the start of bracket play. Early Sunday morning, the final day of the tournament, the top eight teams received full sublimation SAVAGE jerseys to play in. While all the teams fought extremely hard, the championship went to DOOM for the second year in a row.

 Congratulations to all the qualifying teams. SAVAGE can’t wait to see you all in Vegas again next year!
