The Hawaii tournament "Kaimana Klassic" is the following week-end and i made the Australian team for that. The organisers of the Goaltimate event offered to pay 90% of seven players airfares from Hawaii to Miami. Not really an offer to be refused. Couple that with free accomodation and the only non north american team/country to be invited it was an opportunity to good to be missed. The chance to play what could be a potential competitor to our loved sport of Ultimate and a chance to win some of the US$30K prize money (I believe they is some cash for last place). If you want to know more look at www.goaltimate.com where there are some basic and more in depth rules. I guess Wayne has already made it to the site.......surprise surprise!! Isn't the sun just great!
