Thrustfest! Baby Thrustfest!

Get your flaming fists of fire ready for Thrustfest II - Electric Boogaloo this Saturday!

The website is over here: http://www.griffithultimate.org/thrustfest/

Register at: http://www.afda.com/rego/showdivision.php?divisionid=1549

When: Saturday the 12st of March from 9ish (game on at 10am) til 5.

After: Party at Abe and Issac's afterwards - 100m walk from the fields. BYO - bottleshop up the road.

Where: Fields are the Griffith Uni Nathan Campus' lush AFL field. Parking is available on site, as well as buses to Griffith Uni and QEII Hospital across the road – routes 120 and 135.

What: Thrustfest is a one day “hat” tourney, meaning that players register individually (or with a friend) and teams are “drawn from a hat” on the morning of the tournament (using special voodoo to appease the Frisbee Gods). Numbers permitting, we hope to run the tournament as a round robin so every team plays the same number of matches, with a late-afternoon final so everyone else can cheer and heckle from the sidelines. Expect to play about five 40 minute matches.

Who: Everyone is welcome to Thrustfest – young and old, male and female, experienced and beginner. In fact, especially beginners – we’re hoping to see a bunch of new UQ, QUT and Griffith students come along and learn what Ultimate is all about. Students from Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast or west of Brisbane play at half price!

Cost: $20 per person gets you a full day of fields, lunch, fruit, insurance and prizes. Pay on the day.

Bring: Water, sport shoes (cleats if you’ve got ‘em), a light and a dark shirt and something to sit in, and drink while you watch the finalists duel it out.

Please Register! Registration is as always on the Australian Flying Disc Association (AFDA) website. If you aren’t already you’ll need to make yourself an AFDA member, which is free and includes insurance for any registered Ultimate game you play in Australia. Once you’ve done that, head to the Thrustfest registration page, and choose the ‘register’ action from the links on the right. You’re in!

BONUS: All teams will be required to name themselves in the spirit of Charlie Sheen! Think "Big Beautiful Warlock Brain", "Sleep Rhymes With Sheep", "Two Smoking Hotties", "I Tried Marriage", "I Try to Be Known For My Work", "Straffing Runs in My Underware", "Golden Sombraro", and finally, "You know you've gone too far when Slash is saying, Look, you've got to get into rehab"

I guess I've just given away that I have an emergency back door key to the mansion ...

The pot plant hiding spot is a bit obvious, isn't it.
