2010: Eyes Wide Shut (Clams Wide Open) – The Ultimate Masquerade BallSchedule posted and directions have been updated to include the Cumberland Fairgrounds.The nitty gritty details1. NO DOGS ALLOWED AT THE PARTY OR THE FIELDS!!Please pass this info on to your team. If you drove 6 hours with your dog, you still can't bring the dog to the fields or the party. Plan ahead. 2. NO ALCOHOL allowed at the fields!This is a new rule, and obviously a bummer. However, there's a very strict Athletic Director who has made it very clear that we can't drink at the fields anymore. At all!! We'll have tons of beer at the party. Please wait until then. If you choose to drink at the fields, you could seriously jeopardize the chances of anyone ever having another Clambake at Bowdoin College. OK, enough with rules. Here's some info:3. UPAThis is a UPA sanctioned event. All players must be current UPA members, or join the UPA at the event or pay a $10 one-time fee to participate. No cash will be accepted for UPA dues. 4. LobstersLobsters may be purchased for $10 each in advance, by e-mail. Please understand that if you send an e-mail request for lobster, you must pay for it at the tournament with no exceptions. Send e-mail to the TD with your team's order. . 5. Tourney FeeThe tourney fee is $450 per team. You should have already paid a $200 deposit, and the remainder is due at the tournament. You receive your party and lobster tickets when all dues and fees have been paid, and the roster completely filled out. Please help our administrators and do this early. 6. Party ticketsTickets will be collected at the campground entrance. Everyone who wants to attend must have a ticket. See your team captain if you didn't get one.Each team is allowed up to 15 tickets. Any additional tickets can be purchased at themain tent for $15 each. Party and lobster tickets will not bedistributed until rosters have been turned in and tourney fees have been paid. Friday camping is available at the party site for $5 per person. 7. SERIOUSLY, NO DOGS ALLOWED AT THE PARTY OR THE TOURNAMENT!Hungry? Thirsty? Then Be Sure to Visit: Brunswick Variety & Deli When was the last time Your Team hosted an Ultimate Tournament? What is a good bid?
2010 theme: Eyes Wide Shut (Clams Wide Open) – The Ultimate Masquerade Ball
Those are all just suggestions - feel free to do whatever you think would be fun. Please also understand that no matter how great you think your bid is, nothing is guaranteed. The reason we have the bid party is because not everyone can come. You may put a bunch of time and effort and/or money into your bid, and still not get in. We wish there were another way, but we only have so many fields and so many lobsters. But understand that if you don't get in, you are still making an important contribution to something that has become far bigger and better than any individual player or team, and it's all for an incredible cause - Maine Special Olympics. We've raised over $100,000 since we started in 1989, and we'll continue to push that higher with help from all of you. Check out the Clambake Facebook page for video of the bid part and how crazy it can get... Bids are due by September 3rd. They should include a $200 deposit check, payable to Red Tide (please write your team name on the check!), and mailed to: Alex Pozzy89 Crestview Dr Portland, ME 04103 2009 theme: Can YOU Pass the Clambake Test? 2008 theme: What Happens at Clambake, Stays at Clambake ScheduleTeams2010 TeamsWomen's Division Teams

Take a left on Blanchard Road. (the road is called blanchard to the left, and tuttle to the right). Go about a mile on Blanchard. Cumberland Fairgrounds is on the left. Go in the entrance, and all the way to the back. From the South of Portland (I-95 / Maine Turnpike):Take I-95 North to 295 North (Same road if you take no exits) Take Exit 53 (which is 1/4 mile past exit 9, it comes up quick).Go Left after the toll booth (Rt. 100 / 26).

On your right across from the store there is a sign for the Cumberland Fairgrounds, Take this Right (Range Rd.)
