Brisbane Indoor Championships

We here at stately Brisbane Ultimate Blog mansion are pleased to add the Brisbane Indoor Ultimate Championships to your playing calendar and list of Ultimate pleasures.

Indoor Ultimate is often played in much colder places than Brisbane, but has the great benefits of no wind and smaller teams, meaning everyone gets a go. Still lots of running to do. Great for a change of pace etc.

The Championships will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 12 August - this is the Brisbane Show (aka the Ekka) public holiday in Brisbane.

The Championships will be held at basketball centre at the Clem Jones Centre in Carina - enter via the softball carpark off Zahel St.

Entry is initially limited to 8 teams, although if there is sufficient demand we will consider increasing this - but you should get organised sooner rather than later. Team registration closes on 27 July. Fees are expected to be between $100-120 per team, depending on numbers. Rego at: http://www.afda.com/rego/showcompetition.php?competitionid=652

Teams can have a maximum of 8 players, and its recommended a gender split of 4 males and 4 females be aimed at. The specific rules to be used will be discussed with Captains in the lead up to the event, including whether we will be playing 4 or 5 players per team on the court.

We greatly encourage people arranging teams with some sort of reason for being, aside from "here's my all-star team of friends". It'd be great for promotion etc to see West End taking on Moorooka, the Fresh Fries vs the Over-40s, 308 Brisbane Corso vs 8/47 Newcomen St, Mellow Yellow vs Dojo Mojo, etc etc. However, all up to you folks!

Families with under 2s - please let us know if you are interested in arranging a creche.
Here's some pics.
