Thrustfest™

SORRY! Thrustfest is over for another year. Or perhaps just six months – we tend to run them bi-annually.

Want a full day of wacky Ultimatey fun in the sun? Then come and play some disc at Griffith Ultimate’s world famous* hat tournament carnival Thrustfest™ – guaranteed to be a whole day of hip-thrustingly awesome fun. Register here!

Date

Saturday the 12st of March from 9:00 AM til 5:00 PM. There will also be a house party afterwards at a nearby venue – bring your own choice of poison.

Venue

On the Griffith Uni Nathan Campus’ lush AFL field. Parking is available on site, as well as buses to Griffith Uni and QEII Hospital across the road – routes 120 and 135.

Tournament Details

Thrustfest is a one day “hat” tourney, meaning that players register individually (or with a friend) and teams are “drawn from a hat” on the morning of the tournament (using special voodoo to appease the Frisbee Gods). Numbers permitting, we hope to run the tournament as a round robin so every team plays the same number of matches, with a late-afternoon final so everyone else can cheer and heckle from the sidelines. Expect to play about five 40 minute matches.

Entry

Everyone is welcome to Thrustfest – young and old, male and female, experienced and beginner. In fact, especially beginners – we’re hoping to see a bunch of new UQ, QUT and Griffith students come along and learn what Ultimate is all about.

Cost

$20 per person gets you a full day of fields, lunch, fruit, insurance and prizes. Just rock up and pay on the day.

Things to bring

Water, sport shoes (cleats if you’ve got ‘em), a light and a dark shirt and something to sit in, and drink while you watch the finalists duel it out.

How to enter

Registration is as always on the Australian Flying Disc Association (AFDA) website. If you aren’t already you’ll need to make yourself an AFDA member, which is free and includes insurance for any registered Ultimate game you play in Australia. Once you’ve done that, head to the Thrustfest registration page, and choose the ‘register’ action from the links on the right. You’re in!

* Nothing to see here, Thrustfest is legit world famous, so nerr.
