We almost missed it, but following the Townsville Hat on the weekend, the number of QUDA members edged over 600 on the weekend.
There's currently 607 people with a Queensland postcode who have registered on the AFDA website (and paid) for a tournament or league that's been held in the last 6 months.
Groovy eh?
Around 472 are in the greater Brisbane area (postcodes 4000-4199 and 4300-4399), 67 on the Gold Coast (4200-4299), 16 'in between' (postcodes 4300-4799), 32 in Townsville (postcodes 4800-@4869) and 21 in Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands (4880+ - the latter are mostly temporary UQ international students who attended the Mission Beach tournament a few weeks ago).
242 are Women and 365 are Men.
The most common postcode was 4067 (St Lucia), followed by 4068 (Indooroopilly/Taringa). Only one Ultimate player is known to live in Kingaroy, but she's in love with another man.
The most popular ladies name to yell when you're throwing some random crap is "Catch it Emma", as eight Queenslanders will respond - or try the 8 Sarah/Saras.
For guys, aim for one of the 12 Matt/Matthews, 11 Ryans or 10 Dave/Davids. Calling "Catch it Dustin" will of course only return a single lazy grin.
There are 3 Stefans, 3 Stephens, 2 Steves and 1 Stephanie. Only two Jason's.
There is only one Tony Ross, but this is a well known fact.
Ignoring those birthdates that are obviously wrong (mostly people using 'todays date' rather than their birth date), the youngest current member is 14 year old Ollie (son of Tony). GO OLLIE!

That is pretty amazing.
Anyone want to make bets about when we'll crack 1000?
