Fall Tournaments (play at as many or as few as you like):
All tournaments will be Atropa squads! I encourage everyone to come to as many as they can. They're tons of fun and you learn as much as you would in 15 practices (or more!) in one tournament.

No Wisconsequences, Oct 17-18 @ Delafield, WI

About Atropa

Atropa was born in Fall 2008 at University of Wisconsin-Madison. We are coached by Tim DeByl Olde Style Captain, ultimate guru. At first, we were designated the Wisconsin Women's B team...but in very little time, we've become a team that is ready to compete. We were seeded 41st at Trouble in Vegas and with only 9 players for the three-day tournament we broke 31 seeds to get 10th. More recently we were seeded 10th at Chicago Invite and broke seed to get 6th. 

We're a team made up of various skill levels: some people have been playing for 4 years, some just started this year! We work hard and play hard, but we are focused on learning and playing together. We encourage people to play with us of all experience levels! 

Atropa is derived from the poisonous plant Atropa Belladonna, AKA deadly nightshade. Atropos was one of the three goddesses of fate and destiny, and was known as the inflexible or inevitable. It was Atropos who chose the mechanism of death and ended the life of each mortal by cutting their thread with her abhorred shears.
