About
The Badgerland Classic Tournment was started in 2008 as the Felicia Melton-Smyth (FMS) Memorial Tournment. Felicia was a well known trans activisit from Madison, Wisconsin who's life was tragically cut short while on vacation in Mexico. Learn more about Felicia here. The tournment was renamed the Badgerland Classic to better connect with the League and the FMS Spirit Award was added to the tournment structure. Hosting over a dozen teams in the D & C division, the tournment continues to grow each year with expansion focused on both C division and the new E division.
