Uni ultimate triple crown?

So you see, Cultimate are responsible for four of the big non-Nationals college ultimate tournaments in the US. Lookie on their website for what I'm on about.

So let's pick four tournaments here to be the equivalent...

Ridin The Western
Ballarat, VIC
Mid April
I like to think we put on a good show in Ballarat. Maybe we'll move it to June and watch anyone from north of Seymour's game fall to shit in the atrocious weather.

The Ultimate Stampede
Bathurst, NSW
Mid May

These kids put on a great show last year. With the stories everyone returned with last year still getting repeated, there'll be another sweet turnout this year.

Halibut
Brisbane, QLD
Late July
Legendary tournament that is a staple on the Australian ultimate calendar. Hosted the first Australian Uni Championships back in 1997. Plus Queensland weather in July is quite pleasant.

Shenanigans
Canberra, ACT
Early September
Good pre-AUG hitout. Canberra's not that bad, really.


Add up points and award a spiffy trophy to the winners. And don't whinge about costs - all of those tournaments are drivable.

Well, I figure you've just mapped 2/3 of the first "real" Walkabout trophy effort.

When Walkabout has been proposed in the past, its been about Open/Women's. But really, the *number* of accessable tournaments has always been in the Mixed season.

Uni teams can certainly win the AFDA Mixed Walkabout ...
