Australia Day Beach Ultimate Championship

A message from this year's TD the one the only "Mayor of Slamtown" Stefan Rappazzo

Hello all, 

I've taken the reins of the Australia Day Beach Ultimate Championships (ADBUC)... and tampered with it.

This year.. it will be Surf and Turf..... and it will be in Byron Bay!!!!

Details:

8 Teams, suggested rosters of 10

8 powered campsites (all next to one another) at Belongil Fields (one campsite per team)

Sat - played on turf, 7 on 7 mixed ultimate (4:3) round robin action.

Sun - played on sand, 5 on 5 mixed ultimate (3:2) crossovers, semi's and finals.

Sat night - Genda' Blenda' party  -In homage to 'The Last Gender Blender' in Canada, each team will need to have a theme, a blender drink, a game which partiers play to earn the drink, decorations, and music.  Revellers will cruise from one site to the next until they have had their fill, or found a place to stop.

Sun night - (Mon is public holiday) - Sun night will be out in Byron for team trivia, dinner and drinks at the Buddah Bar, and return to the campsites late night for a campfire (as long as there are no fire restrictions at the time)

$110/player includes, 2xlunch, 2x dinner, 1x breakky, 2 nights accom at campsite, 2 days of ultimate.

Rego is first in best dressed.... until Jan 18... at which point your full team fee needs to be received, or 'next in line' will have the option to trump your bid.

What you'll need to bring: tent and sleeping gear, ultimate gear, BLENDER, table, a creative game to play within the confined of your campsite, table, music player..... whatever else you think will be awesome.

Prizes for:  Best Drink, Best Game, Best Theme, Spirit, MVP on field, MVP at party, trivia, ADBUC championship.

BUD Bigman Badman Confirms 24/7 Play

In today's press conference to launch the new Byron Bay Ultimate field, Byron Ultimate Disc (BUD) Bigman Andrew Badman (aka BUD Bigman Badman) confirmed that Ultimate will "be played seven nights a week, and more nights too if my plans for an eighth day to the week, named Badday, come to fruition."

In the face of today's field opening being postponed due to rain, Bads noted "That's just the spirit goddess replenishing our beloved turf, and reminding us to go make love and/or surfing occasionally, preferably at the same time."

Bads continued, "In your face, rest of Australian Ultimate."

Milestone for Byron Bay Ultimate

This Friday 10 February, the Byron Bay Regional Council will be opening its new multi-sport centre, which includes a dedicated Ultimate field.

It's great to have a dedicated field, but its also great to be part of a larger centre, and be thereby able to negotiate to host larger events.

If you're down that way, the politicians and other community representatives will be doing their ribbon cutting thing from 11am-12.30pm, and they'll surely love to see some Ultimate players.

Of course, they could hang around for the community launch between 4pm and 8pm that evening, which will feature both the Little Athletics and the very BEST of the Byron Bay Ultimate community and their friends, in a showcase game!

Well done BADMAN and all the gang.
