In case you missed it, League Director Stu (yay Stu) has posted the basics for the upcoming Season 2 of BPL 2009.
BPL is the highest standard in Brisbane and open to anyone who has the skills to make it onto a team - so get onto a Captain and see if they've have you.
The next season of BPL (Brisbane Premier League) starts soon with the first night (a team training night) on Thursday 6th August.
Games are played at the Annerley Junior Soccer Club, on the corner of Victoria Terrace and Baron Street. There is a possibility that during the season, some games will be played elsewhere, due to annual field maintanence.
The first league game will be on Thursday 13th August, with the final planned for Thursday 26th November, although it could get pushed back to 3rd December if rain intrudes play, so don't book your end-of-season flights just yet.
And in what is believe to be an Australian ultimate first - BPL will be played on port-a-fields (www.port-a-field. com)!!
There are going to be 5 teams for the league again this season, so Captains please sign up your teams here:

And then get your players to sign up. So each team will get a game off every 5 weeks, in addition to this the league will not be played during AUG's or the Thursday before Mixed Nationals.
If you are interested in playing and haven't got a team yet, check out the links below, or if that fails send Stu an email and he'll try and sort something out for you.
Cobras (http://cobras- ultimate. blogspot. com/) have formed taking players from all of the previous teams to create what is likely to be a very strong team.
Dojo-Mojo (http://dojomojo- ultimate. blogspot. com/) will be out to avenge their only loss last season, the final.
Moreton Bay Buggers (http://moretonbaybu ggers.blogspot. com/) the current BPL champions have lost several players to Cobra's, injuries and other leagues, so have decided to form a single team, this could be the first BPL team to have a selection process.
UQ Lovers and UQ Passion (http://uqultimate. com.au/) have been pretty quiet in the off season but will no doubt put in two strong teams with rather different team shirts!!
League fees will be $60 per person but collected as a team. Full league rules to follow.

How did the Port-a-field work out for you? We're thinking of trying it too, but wanted some feedback first.
Hello Makrus, tonight the Port-a-field worked well for us. Once assembled, we didn't even realise it was there. We just played enjoyable ultimate and there was no ambiguity over goals or out-of-bounds decisions.
