How to Apply for Cage April 25, 2009 |
| To apply for CageMatch, send an email to cagematchnyc at gmai1 dot {com} with the name of your team and the names of all of your team members. All members must have completed UCB 401. We prefer to book teams that are active and currently doing shows and practicing, so mention a little about your team's activity if you can. We usually start the season by booking all of the UCB House Teams with a few outside groups mixed in, and then have more room for outside groups and UCB House Team member side projects later in the summer and fall. You only need to email once per year to be considered. We pick the lineup each month from the full pool of submissions. We get tons of submissions, so understand we won't have room for everyone and it may take several months to get booked. |

From February to May we will be booking one practice group the first Thursday of every month and UCB house teams for the rest of the month. After we cycle through all of the house teams we will resume open booking. All team members must have completed UCB 401. To apply please send an email to cagematchnyc at gmail _dot_ com. List your team name and every member on the team. You will not be allowed to add members once the show is booked. You will not be penalized if someone on your team misses the show. You should list any Thursdays that do not work for you in the email as well, as you will not be able to switch dates once your show is booked.
Some notes for practice groups applying: we remain primarily interested in booking real teams that currently do shows. Preference often goes to teams with members that regularly attend CageMatch. Until the house team cycle is complete (in May) we will not be booking practice groups with UCB house team members. |
