ADBUC 2013 - Genda' Blenda'

Stef says -

I've taken the reins of the Australia Day Beach Ultimate Championships (ADBUC)... and tampered with it.

In homage to the last Gender Blender in Canada, this years theme for the ADBUC will mimic. It will be Turf and Surf... Sat on grass, Sun on Sand. A powered campsite will be part of your team fee, and your team will need to have a team blender drink, a game to play to win the drink, and be dressed and decorated accordingly. Teams will need to bring tents, tables, and blenders at minimum.

dates 26th-27th January, 2013
venue Byron Sports Fields & Clarkes Beach
format mixed - 4:3 on turf, 3:2 on beach
cost         $110
includes 2x lunch, 2x dinner, 1 x breaky, accom
director Stefan Rappazzo

More Details:

8 Teams, suggested rosters of 10

8 powered campsites (all next to one another) at Belongil Fields (one campsite per team)

Sat - played on turf, 7 on 7 mixed ultimate (4:3) round robin action.

Sun - played on sand, 5 on 5 mixed ultimate (3:2) crossovers, semi's and finals.

Sat night - Genda' Blenda' party  -In homage to 'The Last Gender Blender' in Canada, each team will need to have a theme, a blender drink, a game which partiers play to earn the drink, decorations, and music.  Revelers will cruise from one site to the next until they have had their fill, or found a place to stop.

Sun night - (Mon is public holiday) - Sun night will be out in Byron for team trivia, dinner and drinks at the Buddah Bar, and return to the campsites late night for a campfire (as long as there are no fire restrictions at the time)

Rego is first in best dressed.... until Jan 18... at which point your full team fee needs to be received, or 'next in line' will have the option to trump your bid.

What you'll need to bring: tent and sleeping gear, ultimate gear, BLENDER, table, a creative game to play within the confined of your campsite, table, music player..... whatever else you think will be awesome.

Prizes for:  Best Drink, Best Game, Best Theme, Spirit, MVP on field, MVP at party, trivia, ADBUC championship.

Pair up your drink and game to fit your theme.... think big.

Go.

Wollongong wins in the wind and (little bit of) wet weather

Southern blow-ins Wollongong and friends playing as TDB (later changed to Nnargh) went 6 - 0 to win the 4th edition of ADBUC. Local favorites Flex on the Beach had a good weekend but pulled up just short of the perfect record - going down in the GF to the strong southern team.

Spirit of the Game was a close competition but crowd favourite (maybe coz they brought they own crowd) Crumbed Quince won with 7.5 points over 5 games (maximum possible was 10 points)

Finally "Out of their skin" players prizes went to 2 Huckleberry Finn players Becky Hill and Coops Lankowski who both amassed 4 out of a possible 5 votes.

Congrats to all the players, we hope you enjoy the picnic rugs, drinks, ice creams and the ultimate.

See you next time on the beach - in May or next January.

Waiting list opens as 8 teams save $100 each

Registration for ADBUC 2012 has hit 8 teams and 3 pick up players. Great work. Not only for filling the tourney, making my Christmas wish come true but also for saving your teams $100 each.

So now the adfa site here shows that you can sign up on the waiting list and be first in if a team withdraws or if we get to 12 teams rego'd. If you do it today and send the team fee today you can still get the early bird discount too. This will be refunded if you don't get a bid in the tourney.

Finally thanks to teams from Wollongong, Brisbane and the Gold Coast for signing up - can we get 12 teams and 3 or 4 states represented?

2012 Player Fees explained and discounted

The ADBUC team is excited to offer a discounted player fee for 2012

If your team (via your captain) pays all their player fees by the due date of Tuesday 3rd January you will get a $10 on-time discount. Reducing the player fee to $45 each.

Add to this our opt out options we believe we have given you the power to create your own tourney experience - no fills and keeping the budget low or adding in some of the extras that everyone likes and that you might have paid for anyway.

A reminder that the 2012 Opt Out options are Saturday night's dinner and dance for $20

So...

• if your team registers (afda site and team fee) by 23rd Dec - your team saves $100
• if your team pays all the player fees by 3rd Jan - you save $10
• and if you want to save more or have a dinner date on the Saturday night - you can opt out and save $20
