Halibut History

Halibut has been Queensland's (if not the nation's) premier Awesome-Fun-Mixed Ultimate Tournament in the Sunshine for many years now. Fields are just about finalised, and its set for 25-26 July. Rego over here if you're keen

Here's a few tid-bits of Halibut history, drawn from the AFDA Event Rego Database and the qld-ultimate yahoogroup. No doubt there is a lot more history out there (and some detail below might not be right) - if you want to send it in to us or slot something into the comments and we'll repost with better info.
