History Lesson from The Old Skool, in the Interest of Keepin' it Real: back in tha day, before the 1st Bingham Cup was held in 2002 and hosted by the San Francisco Fog (also just plain rugby I might add - which was nice), there was once just a plain 'ol gay international rugby tournament in DC in 2001. Bingham was actually there, I went to the hospital with him. There were just four teams at that time: San Francisco, Manchester, DC and Buenos Aires. We had a tournament followed by a social in a bar. We had an on-site ambulance, port-a-potties to shit in and minimal effort was needed to organize such things. Granted, it was easier with so few teams, but call me conservative when I wish things could be kept simple. Play rugby, drink up afterwards. No official DJ, schwag bag handout or ceremony required other than rugby tradition. It's not rocket science.
