Page B4 Thursday, September 15, 1988 Park Record Another "sudsy" affai r on mountain bicycles by RANDY HANSKAT Record staff writer Billed as "an excursion into the underbelly of human existence," the sixth annual Tour d' Suds will pedal its way up Guardsman Pass on Sunday, Sept. 25. Just what the underbelly of human existence entails is up to the individual to define, but it gives you an idea of the feeling of the Tour d' Suds. It's more than a bike race it's a party, with a bike endeavor thrown in. Beginning at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25, the race will start at City Park, head up Highway 224, turn right at the spot where the snowmobilers get excited in wintertime, and then keep climbing climb-ing all the way to the top of Guardsman Pass. All in all, it's seven miles straight uphill. Anyone who accomplishes that feat deserves a couple brews ! Waiting atop Guardsman Pass will be a couple kegs of Wasatch Beer, picnic goodies, lots of New York Selzer, and prizes to be awarded and drawn for. Most of those will come from main event sponsors Jans Mountain Outfitters, Outfit-ters, KISN FM, and New York Selzer. Cost to enter the Tour d' Suds, which is a Utah Mountain Bike Championship Series event, is $6 pre-registration,.$7 day of race. That fee includes a hotshot water bottle, prize drawing eligibility, and food and drink. Entrants can also buy a Tour d' Suds t-shirt at discount prices. Trophies will go to the overall male and female champions. Tom Noaker, that local bicycling bicycl-ing phenom, is the Park City connection con-nection for the race, which was originally his brainchild when operating the New Park Cyclery. Now that the race is an established establish-ed event (148 entrants last year), Noaker said he may even be able to participate in this year's Suds. Better watch out field ! Noaker is the man to contact for any further information about the Tour d' Suds at 649-4949. Or you can stop in Jans and pfck up an entry form. Lady linksters seem fixated on blindness The members of the Park City Women's Golf Association seem somewhat fixated on sight, or lack thereof. One week they're' playing the blind partner format. The next it's blind draw. This' week it was blind hole. . In blind hole play, linksters play their rounds and when all are finished, finish-ed, the tournament head picks nine holes out of the 18 played. Only the scores from those holes are counted, and since the players don't know which holes will be counted the name is blind hole. Here are the results: 18 holers Anight 1st Monique Cate 51 1st Francine Valline 51 3rd Carol Child 52 B flight 1st Bev Maw 55 2nd Teddi Reeves 57 2nd Gwen Larsen 57 holers Aflight 1st Cindy Guenther-24 1st Donna Delanty 24 B night ist-ChrisJohnson-27 lst-DebbieReid-27 3rd-Becky Stedman-29 3rd Debbie Christensen 29 3rd Connie Dyer 29 3rd-CarolynSigg-29 Sept. 20 will be the final week of formal ladies' day stuff-the the awards luncheon at Sneakers.

Golf, although the term sport may be dubious at best, is different, however sub-par is what you want. He wasn't sub-par this week on the links, but Fred Marshall was dominant domi-nant as usual, winning the weekly Park City Men's Association play for the umteenth time this season.

Will any interest develop for flag football this fall? by RANDY HANSKAT, Record staff writer It seems that at this time of year someone is always saying "Why don't they play any flag football in Park City? There are about a million guys who would kill to play I " And it seems that programs are set up, at least tentatively, to satisfy those desires. But when it comes down to it, Park City's flag football players wimp -out. They are either too lazy to organize teams, or too chicken to put their money where their collective mouths are, or else would rather complain than play. Whatever the reason, year after year it is the same story no organized flag football league in Park City. Hopefully this year will be different. Mr. Recreation, Tim Vetter, has organized a fall flag football league which he hopes to begin play on Sept. 19. It is Vetter's second shot at such a venture. Last year's attempt went down the drain due to Park City apathy and laziness. The league is to consist of 10 games played over the course of five weeks on Monday and Wednesday nights. The cost for the season is a mere $115, the amount some spill in a couple nights at the local clubs. Teams consist of six players, with no limit on roster size. i Play will consist of an immediate rush, but will be non-contact. With the ratebook on its way from Colorado Springs, Mr. Recreation couldn't quote rules, but said blocking consists of basically positioning, which forces pass rushers to go around, not through the blocker. The reason for non-contact, Vetter says, is too keep injuries to a minimum. You know, injuries in-juries where those 250-pound, ex-football, self-proclaimed stars take out their frustrations on the 160-pound types. The field is 80-yards long and is divided into four sections. Each dividing line is a first down. Regardless of where the team starts (whether at the beginning of the 20-yard zone, or two yards away from the line), when one of the lines is crossed it is a first down. End zones are 10 yards deep. Play consists of two 25-minute halves. The clock runs nonstop up until the last two minutes of each half . Equipment is very limited. Flags will be triple threat flags, a one piece setup where the entire belt comes off when pulled. No more messing with velcro flags and the like. Headwear is out, even baseball hats are a no-no. No shoulder pads, obviously. No removable cleats of any kind. Uniforms are not required, but a similar color for each team is suggested. Ties will be broken in an interesting fashion California Sudden Death. No, players will not be made to inhale endless amounts of freeway smog. That is a different kind of California Sudden Death. At the end of regulation, teams flip a coin. One team starts at midfield and gets four downs to advance as far as they can. The other team takes it after four downs at that point. If they progress past midfield, they win. If they don't, they lose. In effect, the team gaining the most yardage wins. Penalties come in two varieties, four and 12 yards. Four yard examples are delay of game, offsides, and the like. The 12 yarders are pass interference, in-terference, protecting the flag, holding, kicking, biting, etc. . Sounds like fun, eh? Well, then get off your rears and get a team together before this latest attempt at flag football dies due to wimpiness! Call Mr. Recreation at 649-8080 to get your team in.
