Rugger Mortis 2025
Rugger Mortis is back with a vengeance in 2025 on May 17th!!! We want to give you lot plenty of warning to save the date. You’ll need all the time you can get to dust off the cobwebs and shake off the dirt.
15 players on a side. Brackets will be adjusted as needed but initially we are planning on doing 35 - 44 and 45+ brackets. We just need teams to commit so we can get others excited and committed as well.
Please contact us if you don't have a team. We can help place you on a side or we may even have enough for a tournament side.
🍻 Players will receive free beer and food after the final match❗️
