Final Halibut thoughts from the Attic

Well I'm sitting here in the attic at the BUB Manor and my thoughts have drifted off to a number of things: Sugar buns, sleeping in, and of course Halibut.
Before the BUB Manor Master Jdr does our bit for global warming and switches off our power and makes us blog on bits of paper, I thought I might share some last thoughts as well as a summary on the big tournament.

The rain has been falling steadily in Brisbane for the past 3 days, including some intermitant heavy showers today, so bring your garbage bags to keep your stuff dry in. This rain should be excellent in terms of encouraging people to hit the ground this weekend, with no excuses for not laying out. If you haven't laid out before, definately the time to try it with the ground being nice and soft. It's always a great way to get the blood pumping and to make people think more of you when you lay out. Even if you're trying to get a D and you don't actually touch the disc, you may create enough doubt in your opponents mind and make them drop the disc. Also, it can really fire your team up and may result in everyone else lifting a little.

In case you didn't know, the draw has been finalised again (find it here). Bruce promises this is the final time, which means that there will only be 2-3 more draws including a change half way through the first game which will result in everyone moving fields and all scores being either doubled or halved depending on the change of field.

The seeds have been released as well and are as follows:

1. Mind The Gap
2. Plan B
3. Slamtown
4. iCarrot
5. Goldigaz
6. Pickup
7. UQ Lovers
8. Not Sure Yet
9. UQ the Second
10. Mellow Yellow
11. The Pass

Tips have also been entered by both residents here at the Manor and they are:

Jdr's tips:

We will do some sort of debrief after Halibut (not the kind that Churchill enjoys though) and will evaluate who is superior: Tippers, Jdr, or Wetnose.

I'm getting the wind up so that's all from me. See you on the field tomorrow!

Looks like wetty got pretty close to the final results, with the exception of his prediction of iCarrot (who everyone seemed to think would fair a bit better than they did).

The actually seeding itself was pretty close as well (I'm assuming Bruce picked it) I'm not sure of the results, but I'm assuming they were something like this:


1. Plan B - (+1 seed)
2. Mind The Gap (-1 seed)
3. Slamtown (same as seed)
4. Goldigaz (+1 seed)
5. iCarrot (-1 seed)
6. UQ the Second (+3 seed)
7. UQ Lovers (same as seed)
8. Mellow Yellow (+2 seed)
9. Not Sure Yet (-1 seed)
10. The Pass (+1 seed)
11. Pickup (?? I have no idea where they finished)
