Tucker Toys Sponsors Kids Zone at Ultimate Disc League Championship Weekend

August 14, 2017 - Tucker Toys today announced the extension of its sponsorship with The American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL) to support the League Championship Weekend (August 26-27) in Montreal.

Tucker Toys will sponsor the Kids Zone, a special section full of activities for kids of all ages that is free to all attendees of the AUDL Championship Weekend. The Tucker Toys' "Ultimate" Kids Zone is a super play area featuring all of Tucker's sports-related and outdoor activity toys, including its hot-selling Disc Jock-e™, high-quality throwing disc with built-in Bluetooth stereo speaker.

As the regular season AUDL sponsor, Tucker's sponsorship focused on promoting the league games through the AUDL Disc Jock-e Connection of the Week, where a highlight clip of the best pass and catch series from the league games is singled out as the best sequence of the week.

Mark Nathan, CEO and President of Tucker Toys, said, "It's great working with the AUDL. It's a perfect match for our new Disc Jock-e. We've connected things people love like favorite music and a game of catch with a flying disc. Now we've been able to connect a fun way for fans to emulate the game and introduce a young generation to the sport."

The American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL) is the first and largest professional ultimate league in the world, with 24 teams throughout Canada and the United States. Championship Weekend will mark the culmination of 168 regular season games, with the best teams from each of the league's four divisions descending upon Montreal, home of the Montreal Royal, to compete in a Final Four-styled playoff. Two semifinal games will be played on Saturday, August 26, with a championship game to follow on Sunday, August 27. Tickets are on sale now for the sixth annual AUDL Championship Weekend.

Last year, a league-record 3,400 fans packed into Breese Stevens Field in Madison, Wisconsin for the 2016 AUDL Championship Weekend. "We expect Montreal to raise that bar even higher," said AUDL Commissioner Steve Gordon. "The city has a rabid ultimate community, attends Royal games in record numbers and provides the perfect backdrop for our season-crowning event. With the support of the strong Royal ownership, we expect this to be the best Championship Weekend yet. We couldn't be more excited!"
