Wrap for the Phat

First things first.

Jangles is great.

Few other people these days seem willing and able to take on a bit of volunteer responsibility and singlehandedly run something. Plenty of people will lend a hand, its true (and those to those who did), but sadly, few will take the lead.

So thanks heaps to Jangles for an extremely smooth and fun day at yesterday's Fight the Phat 2009.

After a week of flooding rains, the JF O'Grady Fields had held up well, and the weather was pretty good (particularly after us all having been shut inside all week). A few light showers and the occasional breeze broke up the sunshine and kept us entertained.

The morning saw three games with hat teams switching around every match. Then a great BBQ lunch, followed by some fun (see below) and the final fourth game. 39 players had a great run around! 24 prizes were handed out, just to show that Hot Chocolate almost knew what they were singing about.

Congratulations to the Phat Queen Tammy Bacon, and the Phat King Piers Truter, who were undefeated across four games on the Sunday.

The day also featured the seemingly spontaneous Brisbane Individual Disc Discipline Championships. Individual Disc Disciplines are efforts at demonstrating personal strength and ability with a frisbee. We'll call the results official for the Brisbane area, because they've been posted on the Brisbane blog, so there.

• The male and female Long Distance Throw champions were Andrew 'Goldie' Goldstiver and Jen Campbell.
• Maximum Time Aloft (throw and one handed catch) champions were John McNaughton and Maylin Chuah.
• Throw-Run-Catch (throw the disc as far as possible while still catching it yourself) champions were Piers Truter and Megan Barnes.
• Hammer Distance champions were John McNaughton and Maylin Chuah.
• Cutest Baby was a tie between Eddie Goldstiver and Rohan de Rooy (ok, we made this last one up).

Thanks again all, and well done Jangles!
