New Season of BUML Starts Next Monday!

Crikey! It is that time already! It seems like last season's Grand Final was only the other day. Anyway, here's what's happening.

Division 1 Draw

Four teams have registered for Division 1. They will play 4 three-game round robins plus a 2 week playoff series. The draw for the first three weeks is at http://www.buml.quda.org/div1.html

Monday night 28 June Round 1 sees:
- Wushi Finger Hold vs Heroes on Annerley 3a
- Chimichangs vs Plastic Scourgery on Annerley 3b

Division 1 games start play at 8.25pm and run to 9.35pm, with lights strictly off at 9.40pm.

Division 2 Draw

13 teams have registered for Division 2, making for a tricky draw. Over the first four weeks, teams will play each other in grading games before being split into A and B pools. The grading games draw is available at: http://www.buml.quda.org/div2.html

Monday night 28 June Round 1 sees:
- Mellow Yellow vs Heroes on Annerley 3a
- Dyspnoeics vs Kelvin Grove Cougars on Annerley 3b
- exQUisiTe vs Baby Chimis on Annerley 5
- Bermuda Triangle vs Griffith Go Gos on Griffith 1
- Discheads vs Poppers on Griffith 2
- Agent Orange vs Ghost Who Walks on Griffith 3
- and the Poppers get the bye

All Div 2 games are from 7:00 to 8:10 (regardless of location). We do not gain access to the fields until 6.45pm.

Field 5 at Annerley is open every Monday night from 8:25 to 9:35 for any Div 2 players who want to stick around for pick-up or training. This will be especially useful for the Div 2 team that has a bye each week.

Fees and Registration

Fees are $600 per team. Fees are discounted to $550 if at least one member of the team has a First Aid Certificate. To receive discount send the current first aid certificate to buml@quda.org

Division 2 Registration: http://www.afda.com/rego/showdivision.php?divisionid=1406

Players need to be registered for insurance purposes! If you are injured or you injure someone else and you are not registered then you are "screwed".

Whistle Start and Finish

This season we will have someone at the field to time to games to ensure that they start and end on time. The games will start and finish as stated below:
- one long whistle to start games.
- 2 short whistles at 5 minute warning
- 2 long for “last possession”

Further Information

The Schedule, Results and everything else about the league can be found at http://www.buml.quda.org/. Yahoo groups will be used to notify about field closures, reminders or special events.

The draw will not be sent out on a weekly basis via Yahoo groups as in the past, but will only be on the website.
