The Great Vancouver 5 on 5
Dates.jpg)
Aug 29-30
Location
Richmond, BC
Format
5 on 5 (3m:2f). A, B and C pool. The goal is for every team to have as many balanced games as possible so pool formats and schedule is determined after registration ends.
Info
Building on the success of Whistler 5 on 5 comes The Great Vancouver 5 on 5. You can expect "same same but different" compared to our Whistler event....The same same includes minimum 6 games of fun ulty, lunches, and an awesome spread of field food. The different is that instead of every player getting a disc, every player will get to experience "Carnival Central" - think of a few giant inflatable games or obstacle courses plus frickets, ladder ball, bocce ball and whatever games YOU bring to add to the mix.
You’ll have a blast at this tourney both on and off the field – the games, the "carnival", and the parties will not disappoint.
