As our faithful readers know, the Brisbane Ultimate Blog strives to speak in an authoritative tone, providing a relatively objective, reliable and trustworthy view of the world of Brisbane Ultimate.
For Halibut, we only saw bits of it, so its hard to say. That said, at least as far as the bits of Halibut I got to see, I had a frickin’ entertain time and Halibut 2009, and it seemed most everyone else did too. Well done to all involved.
Please feel free to add your comments in the comments section!
A few random notes, reflecting some random noting:
- the weather was perfect. I was surprised more southerners weren’t “nuding up” given it was something like minus 2 in some capitals the day before.
- for those following the competition, Cranky convincingly defeated Kaboom in the Final, to take the Queensland State Championships title south of the border again (although once again, the cunningly created Halibut Trophy has too large to take on a plane, and so seems to have gone to the traitorous Buzz Burwell’s house for the interim (note to teams considering a tilt at Halibut – you need a token Brisbanite on your team to take care of the trophy (Kaboom should’ve looked around for an ex-Canberran-now-Brisbanite, obviously)))
- Trevor Goes to Halibut took out Spirit, taking home some handy ‘cough medicine’ measuring glasses.
- Going on the cheers for the Beau Brummell of Brisbane Ultimate, Dusty Czok, for his arrangement of the party, the Saturday evening frolics were extensive and well received. The bodies that lay in the hangover zones through the Sunday were further evidence.
- Brisbane folks are getting more and more comfortable with our regular use of the JF O’Grady fields, and people seemed to cope well with the split location. QUDA are looking to deepen the relationship with the field providers.
- After slowly coming to terms with their older legs, Mind the Gap are apparently considering recruiting some youngsters for their 2010 campaign, offering a special “Gap Year”.
- Bondage still enjoy a good spanking (of the buttocks paddling kind).
- Sorry Business-Time – you looked like a bunch of naughty school-kids to me!
- Was that super-star Mike Neild I saw giving autographs on Sunday afternoon?
- Thanks to the Downstairs Mixup for having me on their team, and for one of the almost-great-comebacks of Halibut history, against the evil and nasty Fun with Lizards squad.

I should be back to play with MTG next year if they'll have me. Don't fold in team.
By the way, there is also an English tournie on the same weekend as Halibut this year (last year too I think), the DUFFA Hat. Best tournament I've been too, and some great ideas that we could incorporate into our own. Would reccomend it to anyone who is ever here at this time of year and missing Halibut.
