Its the first big tournament of the year here in Queensland, and the only one where we play in a two division Open/Women's format.
Lots of our brothers and sisters in Ultimate leagues have never played a tournament (or an Open/Women's one). For many, its a bit of a leap - and a tournament that's about qualifying for the National championships can sound a bit scary!
So its up to 'the regulars' to get out there and invite people and tell them about how much fun a tournament is, and how much anyone can improve their play by playing a few games in a row.
Here's the gin from Stephanie 'Caesar' Levasseur herself:
The “Ides of March tournament”, aka “Northern Regionals” is almost here - 14th and 15th of March (only the 15th for women). It’s not too late to register, there are still a few teams who are short on players. If you’d like to play just sign up on “I need a team”: http://www.afda.com/rego/showcompetition.php?competitioni d=603 and we’ll gladly find you a team. Register before Monday 9th of March so we know how much food to buy. For rego after Monday 5pm e-mail s.levasseur@uq.edu.au
Food: Meals provided during the tournament will be lunch on both days + fruit and water. Breakfast and dinner will not be provided. If you have any special dietary requirements (eg: vegetarian) please send an e-mail to molly: piggysweetheart@ yahoo.com. au before Monday 5pm.
Billeting: If you are able to billet 1 or more of our friends from Townsville, Byron and the Gold Coast on the Friday and / or Saturday night please sign here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=ps2UiEV97U2aEM03 jSGfw. Your help is very much appreciated. If you would like to be billeted please sign here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=p3BrZHaIHB3GAvoPfhMA&hl=en.
Fields: The tournament was to be held at Dorrington Park but there is a possibility of field change! I will send out the confirmed field location and how to get there ASAP.
Cost: Very dependent on the fields, TBA. Sorry for the late decision but it might work out in everyone’s favour.
Party: Should be legendary! The theme is ancient Rome, dress code: sandals and
toga! It will be held on the Saturday night and the venue is still TBC.
Other events during the week-end: There will be an Open showcase game on the Saturday afternoon after the last game. The selected Firestorm guys will be playing a demo game against other super hot players. All are invited to heckle on the sideline. On the Sunday during lunch time, there will be the annual QUDA AGM for all to attend. The Sunday afternoon coaching clinic is cancelled unless a strong desire to organize it and/or see it is shown very soon.
Services: There will be sports massage and tournament photography available on both days!!! No, I’m not kidding!
