Each year, the NM Brujos host Wizardfest. This long standing tradition is a formal team awards banquet that honors players for their hard work throughout the rugby season on and off the pitch.

Player nominations are sent to the team and team players vote for players deserving of awards such as Rookie of the Year, Man of the Match and Most Valuable Player which are just a few of the awards bestowed upon players.

"MAN OF THE MATCH"

After each match the Brujos play, nominations are made to name a "Man of the Match" aka "Wizard of the Week" which honors a player or players for their strong will & determination during the match or for improvment of rugby skills.

The winner is announced at the aftermatch social and traditionally a blue "Wizard of the Week" shirt is worn.

 

"Wally of the Week"

With the good comes the bad. The "Wally of the Week" award goes to the player who endangers a fellow Brujo during a match like a suicide pass or it can even go to a player for doing something extremely crazy or stupid, before a match.

The winner is forced to wear the dreaded never-can-be washed-pink-frilly t-shirt.

No one wants to win this honor but way to many have been deserving of it!
