The tourney, originally scheduled for July 13-21, was pushed back to July 20-28, because of busy schedules surrounding Sunday’s IFT- 6 mission, according to Audra Mayhan, Recre- ation Activities superintendent. At press time, four teams had joined the league, including regulars Barnacles, 30-Some- thing and SNAFU. The 264th Engineers from the Wisconsin National Guard, currently building a school on Carlos, also plan to field a team. But Mayhan said Community Activities hopes to involve more teams and has extended the deadline to sign up to Tuesday. Games will be played nights, after work hours, and possi- bly on the weekend of July 21-22, depending on the number of teams that sign up.
