Eastern Unviersity Games is the third in the Trifecta of amazing Tournaments that Canberra has been lucky enough to host this year (BCI and Eastern Regionals being the other two). EUGs starts next Monday, July 4 and runs through to the finals on Thursday, July 7.
Along with all the rugby, judo, badmington, chess, etc, etc, this year 13 University Ultimate Frisbee teams get to duke it out over 4 days of play in the beautiful Canberra winter weather on- wait for it- 2 fields . Thanks AUS! Oh well, maybe the presence of 13 teams in such a small space will either a) warm the surrounding area slightly b) provide a wind shelter or c) both. It'll certainly be cosy!
For the first time ever, the ANU is sending 2 teams to EUGs, which is a pretty exciting development for the club. It's hard to say which is more exciting: the star-studded lineup that the ANU has for the Annunaki 1 team, or the team of raw potential that will be taking the field- many for their first ever tournament- as Annunaki 2.
Unfortunately, we don't have a complete draw at the moment, so we are unable to provide you all with times that you can come and join the hordes on the sideline, so we'll try to keep you posted on results and schedule throughout the Touranment. At this stage we can say that Annunaki 1 is in a pool of 6 with USyd1, Newcastle Uni, CSU Bathurst, CIT, and UTS2, whereas Annunaki 2 is in a pool of 7 with UTS 1, Macquarie Uni, UNSW, Sydney Uni Cumberland, USyd 2, and CSU Bathurst 2. Teams play a complete round robin, then go straight into either semis or playoff games so in order to advance in the tournament, teams must place in the top 2 of their pool.
We'll keep you posted with times and updates. Keep Thursday at 3.30 sacred- hopefully you'll be able to spend it watching Annunaki1 in the final!
