Teams of up to 5 persons can reserve a lane in advance. Lane sponsorship by businesses or supportive organizations cost $50 and includes banner placement and announcements during the evening. Raffle prizes will be drawn and winners will receive the Cosmic Duck Cup trophy. Singles and spectators welcome.
