The Brisbane Canberra Invitational, Australia's premier (only?) invitational tournament, is on at the Giralang playing fields this weekend.
The open division features Colony Plunder and Colony Pillage from Sydney, defending national champions I-Beam from Newcastle, Firestorm from Brisbane, Chilly and Heads of State from Melbourne, Gammin from Perth and Fyshwick United from Canberra
The women's division has Southside, Wildcard and Sand Dunes from Sydney, Black Betty from Brisbane, Sugar Mags from Newcastle, defending national champions Sporting Team Box Athletico United and Honey from Melbourne and Factory from Canberra.
Now that we're getting towards the business end of the season, the BCI looks set to showcase some high quality ultimate and should be a great preview of the national championships in Bribane at the start of April. Come along and see Australian ultimate at its best and support the local teams.
The tournament director, Leon Smith, is still looking for volunteers. If you're able to help out on the weekend contact me at who dot is dot the dot schmooze at gmail dot com and I'll put you in touch with him. Volunteering is a great way to support the frisbee community and see the world of frisbee beyond weekly league games.
As an aside, where's Karma? I'm not sure how these things work but I would have thought their 5th place finish at Nationals last year would have secured them an invite. Are invitations just based on Regionals?

I think Karma and Sublime have merged for the weekend, playing as Gammin. Seems strange...
