2007 NAFA Open World Series

July 27-29

Bowling Green Recreation Complex, Middleton, Wisconsin

2007 marks the first time NAFA has held a stand-alone "Open" level event.

In 2003, 2005 and 2006, NAFA held an "Open" classification event as part of the traditional NAFA World Series.

Now in 2007, with the help of Rod Peterson and Dave LeBlanc of The Farm Tavern, NAFA brings 12 top-flight teams to Middleton for the NAFA Open World Series.

The first NAFA "Open" Champion was crowned in 2003 at the NAFA World Series in Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire, Wisconsin.  With games being played at Eau Claire's Carson Park, the Kegel Black Knights walked away as the inaugural NAFA "Open" World Champions.

Two years later, NAFA resumed play in the "Open" division in North Mankato, Minnesota.  In the final, Kegel squared off against Fargo-rival MinnDak Millers (known then as the Imaging Solutions Knights).  MinnDak came away victorious in that contest.

Last year in Kimberly, Wisconsin, Circle Tap and Townline were set to do battle in the "Open" division final before rain forced the game to be cancelled after only three innings of play.
