Play Up Tour Returns

For those of you who are unaware of the 'Play Up Tour', the tour is designed to improve perceptions and increase exposure of the WAC and its nine member schools. "Play Up" is more than just a slogan; it is the WAC’s promise to never settle for mediocrity.

For the past three years one women's basketball game per school has been deemed a "Play Up" game. At the game a WAC staff member will be on site to distribute a promotional item to the first 200 or so fans who enter the arena. Fans will also have the opportunity to sign up to win a WAC prize pack that includes WAC apparel and other WAC related items. All fans that enter the drawing will be eligible for the grand prize of a WAC Basketball Tournament package. The package includes airfare, hotel accomodations and two tickets to the tournament.

The following are the dates and promotional item descriptions for this years Play Up Tour. All times are local and subject to change. Please check http://www.wacsports.com/ for the most up-to-date women's basketball information.
