Important Regionals Info

From Mr Firestorm himself:


All,

Regionals team registration closes next Friday. All registrations are happening on the website: http://regionals.quda.org/

The present state of play:

SATURDAY
Firestorm, with 5 players, are looking likely to take down Stef as the sole Slamtown representative (Abra, think you registered as free agent before Stef added SFC as an option, might want to check your rego).
In the women's, we could see some upsets, as Jess may struggle to defend Black Betty's reign against 5 Cherry Bombers and even the 3 Purple Llamas.
SUNDAY (Open)
Through a combination of assumption and communication, I have Firestorm, Slamtown, Townsville and Ignition down for competitive finals on Sunday.

Guys and girls, please get registering. Yes, it's a new system, but this system will be used more in Australia. Set up your account once, and it's ready to go for any future events, just like on AFDA.

If you're having difficulty with rego, please firstly check your account and see that you've filled out the info there. At the very least, include your DOB and AFDA #; you won't be able to rego for this tourney without those details included (Soph, I think that's why yours is incomplete).
Still having trouble? Email me.
No team? No worries, register as a free agent and we'll put you somewhere.

John

P.S. Good luck to FOUR Queensland teams heading to an interstate tourney this weekend... that'd have to be close to a record, off the top of my head.


Obviously people haven't gotten across the new Topscore registering system. It's extremely easy to use and like Jmac said, it's a system that will be used more and more in the future, so now's a perfect opportunity to give it a crack.

Even if you don't have a team organised for Saturday, sign up as a free agent and a team will be found for you. The more people that are signed up, the greater chance the Northern Region has of securing wildcard spots for the Australian Championships in April. Even if you're not playing rep ultimate, do you really want those wildcard spots to go to a bunch of Southern teams, when it could go to helping QLD Ultimate?

Regionals!

This just in:

All,

I'm excited to announce that Northern Regionals 2013 will be held on 16-17 March in Brisbane. Put that in your diaries.

The women's competition will be Saturday only. Men will play on Sunday as well.
Venue is TBA. There will, of course, be a rocking Saturday night party.

For those unaware, we are currently in the men's/women's competitive season, culminating in Nationals in late April. Regionals falls 6 weeks before Nationals, and serves two purposes:
a) Qualification/seeding for Nationals, for those teams aspiring to that level
b) A chance to play a men's/women's tournament for players of every standard, all around the country

As such, every level of player is very welcome to come and play, either submitting a team yourself or being connected with an existing team.

Summary: You! Come and play! :-)

Dom Simpson and I are your TDs. More info to come.

As John mentions above, Regionals is an excellent chance for all Ultimate players in QLD to play in a meaningful and high quality tournament.

If you're considering the idea of playing or not, get your act together and get a team together.
If you're thinking of not playing, get your act together and get a team together.
If you're already on a team, keep up the good work!
