<title>Dominion Riverrock</title>
<link>http://www.footbag.org/events/show/1323731984?ver=2</link>
<description><h2>May 18-20, 2012 / Richmond, VA, USA (Brown's Island)</h2><p align="right">--&gt; <a href="http://http://www.dominionriverrock.com/">event website</a></p><p align="right" style="width: 15em; overflow: wrap;"><pre>Circle, 4 square,</pre></p>&lt;p&gt;Dominion Riverrock is the East Coast's premier outdoor lifestyle festival,
bringing athletes, spectators, musicians, and even dogs to Brown’s Island for
a three-day festival against the backdrop of downtown Richmond’s urban
riverfront. The festival features a variety of outdoor sports including trail
running, kayaking, biking, bouldering, stand up paddleboarding, and dog
jumping. The event was designed to promote Richmond’s unique riverfront,
downtown trails and whitewater rapids to outdoor enthusiasts. As a result of
the creation of Dominion Riverrock, there is a stronger appreciation for the
value of outdoor recreation throughout the entire Richmond region.

Riverrock was very enthusiastic when I brought them the idea of including
footbag this year! We will have about 4 circles setup around the island where
we can teach others, just shred, 4-square and golf and I'm waiting to hear if
we can have a net setup! Come on out, this is a cool place! Plus the event
site and hotel is a mile walk from the train station.
http://www.dominionriverrock.com/
&lt;/p&gt;<h3>Details:</h3><pre>Directions to Brown's Island:
Take I-95 Exit 74-A onto the Downtown Expressway. Take first exit on Canal
Street heading West. Make a left onto 5th Street South and take it to the
riverfront.

HOTEL - Make a Riverrock rate request with the front desk at Crown Plaza. 
$89 - a short walk to the venue.

<title>Swiss Footbag Championships 2012</title>
<link>http://www.footbag.org/events/show/1329132977?ver=2</link>
<description><h2>May 19-20, 2012 / Zurich, Switzerland (Sporthalle Hardau)</h2><p align="right">--&gt; <a href="http://www.footbag.ch/2012">event website</a></p><p align="right" style="width: 15em; overflow: wrap;"><pre>Net Double, Net Single, Freestyle Routine, Circle, Shred 30, Request, Woman, Intermediate.</pre></p><h3>Details:</h3><pre>&lt;html&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Swiss Champs with an open category in Zurich!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Homepage: &lt;a 
href="http://www.footbag.ch/2012"&gt;www.footbag.ch/2012&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a 
href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCNXQ11jeyI"&gt;official Trailer&lt;/a&gt;. Join the &lt;a 
href="http://www.facebook.com/events/178032762305688/"&gt;Facebook Event&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We will have an open category for all you shreddies visiting from abroad! Categories 
include Open Net (Single &amp; Double), Mixed Net, Routine &amp;Circle Open/Intermediate/Women.
&lt;/p&gt;
I'm happy to announce that the event starts Friday, 5:30 pm, at the local Boulder gym "Minimum" with 
some food and inofficial freestyle competition. The idea is to do some circle competition judged by the 
crowd and is played with a big show bag. If enough players are interested and participate, a finals 
round will be held at 9 pm at the party on Saturday. The location is right next to the lake where you can 
put up a net. In any case, feel free to bring your climbing shoes :]. Location &lt;a href="http://minimum-
bouldering.ch/"&gt;http://minimum-bouldering.ch/&lt;/a&gt; .

At the registration desk, you'll be asked if you want to join Saturday's BBQ in the backyard of the club 
of that night (price: 4CHF). For the last reason, your answer should obviously be yes. It will be prepared 
by the co-hosting longboard shop &lt;a href="http://www.roll-laden.tv/"&gt;http://www.roll-
laden.tv/&lt;/a&gt;. If you deny, but decide otherwise later on: they'll sell it onsite for about 8-10 francs.

Arrival (Friday):

Address Minimum: Bachstrasse 15, 8038 Zürich. Public transportation: Tram 7 "Post Wollishofen" ( 
alternatively, S-Bahn, "Wollishofen Bahnhof", or Bus 161 or 165 from Bürkli to "Rote Fabrik").

Car (Important!): Okay, that's a tough one. Zurich has basically no free parking. You'll find so-called 
"blue zones" everywhere in the city. Rules are the following: From 8am to 6pm you can park free for 
one hour only. You'll need to set up a parking disc. From 7pm to 8 am parking is free (consequently 
from 6pm if you turn on your parking disk) in the blue zones. Exception is Sunday, where it's free the 
whole day. Hence the lot of you will need something for Saturday. There're two (legal) options: You'll go 
into a parking house, which are everywhere. Fees vary, from 1-5CHF/hour. The two at the event side: 
Parkhaus Hardau and Nova Parking. 20-30 Francs the day. Alternative: You can get a parking 
permission for the blue zone for 15CHF/day. I can offer you to purchase it for you. Contact me in that 
case. If you want to do it yourself (credit card needed): &lt;a href="https://e-gov.stadt-
zuerich.ch/pavwww/uc202tagesbewilligung/Disclaimer.do"&gt;https://e-gov.stadt-
zuerich.ch/pavwww/uc202tagesbewilligung/Disclaimer.do&lt;/a&gt; .
The arrival site, Minimum has a few blue spots near by. You'll know the area if you've been to the 
Footjam, it's right next to the Rote Fabrik.

Plane/Train: The connection airport and main station (HB) is really great, a couple of minutes. After 
arriving at HB, take the Tram 7 (black line) to "Wollishofen". Get out at "Wollishofen Post" (not the same 
stop as the end stop!), look into the direction of the lake, go through the pedestrian tunnel at take the 
very first right. Go through the yard, there're is the Minimum.

Public transportation: about 4 francs one hour, or 8 francs for 24 hours. During nights, you'll have to 
get a night supplement, additional 5 francs (seriously). You'll have night busses instead of the tram. 
During the day, you also have the option to rent a bike at "Züri rollt". You'll need to bring it back by 
10pm, thus it's maybe not so interesting for you (over night fee:10CHF). Note: The airport is right out 
of the city, so'll you need an additional ticket for that, too.

Net play. Net director is Karim Daouk. We play doubles in side-out scoring, 2 winning games of 11 
points for pools, 15 points from semi-final. And we play singles in rally-scoring: 2 winning games of 
15 points for pools and quarter, and 3 winning games of 15 points from semi.

We're happy that so many of you are coming! This allows us to reduce the registration fee to 20CHF (for 
everybody), but unfortunately also implies that we may not keep our promise to house you in inner 
zurich and may send you to the 'burbs, where Dave is living (15min ride from the main station). In any 
case, sleeping bag and iso mat is recommended.

Playing location on Saturday and Sunday is Sporthalle Hardau, Bullingerstrasse 80 (Tram e.g. 7,8 , 
Busses: 31,32,44,34,46,72 both "Hardplatz", or Tram 2,3,17 "Albisriederplatz").

Party location on Saturday is the "Popup", &lt;a href="http://www.popupzh.ch/"&gt;www.popupzh.ch&lt;/a&gt; . 
It's basically only across the Hardbrücke from the gym, but this bridge stretches over 2kilometers. It's a 
visually stimulating walk, though.

positions and secure a hostel-place!)
3. HOTEL (50 eur /night for 2 person room)

3,5hrs from Paris, 1.5hrs from Brussels.
Closest Airport is Maastricht-Aachen Airport (MAA) but thats really small.
Other good options are Cologne (CGN), Düsseldorf (DUS), Weeze (NRN), Dortmund
(DTM) with many cheap airlines to/from all destinations.
By Train: Deutsche Bahn has always some specials, group-tickets, weekend
deals. We will investigate on that at a given time.

<title>The 32nd Annual Moonin' &amp; Noonin' Beaver Open</title>
<link>http://www.footbag.org/events/show/1319309342?ver=2</link>
<description><h2>September 1-3, 2012 / Eugene, OR, USA (By Reservation Only!)</h2><p align="right">--&gt; <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100000625152618">event website</a></p><p align="right" style="width: 15em; overflow: wrap;"><pre>Pro/Am Draw-Partners Net, Spontaneous Freestyle, Unstructured 4square and 2square, Random Footbag Golf, Amazing Glow-in-the-Dark Golf, Beaver Theater, Cribbage, Bizz Buzz, and much, much more.</pre></p><h3>Details:</h3><pre>***NOTE: Starting in 2012, joining the Beaver Open is by RESERVATION ONLY***

Reservations will be taken by U.S. Mail only, between the dates of June 30, 
2012 and August 9, 2012.  There is no on-site registration.

To learn more, and to get on the email list, send your request along with 
your footbag.org Member Name to vorvick (at) footbag (dot) org

Unique in the world of footbag, the Moonin’ &amp; Noonin’ Beaver Open is an event 
that encourages everyone’s involvement.  In other words, come to participate 
rather than spectate.

The heart of the event is the Pro/Am Net tournament, where experienced 
players are paired with inexperienced with the goal of promoting and teaching 
the game.  This same attitude permeates the freestyle, footbag golf, circle 
kicking and multiple other activities (like cooking and cleaning) that take 
place.

The Beaver Open is also a camping event, so expect a semi-rustic environment 
with running water, showers, porta-potties and very limited electricity.  
You’ll need a tent, sleeping gear, cooking gear, and your footbags!

The Moonin’ &amp; Noonin’ Beaver Open has taken place in Oregon every Labor Day 
weekend since 1981, is funded strictly by entry fees, and is the longest 
running footbag tournament in the history of the game (murmur).

Kickers of all styles and abilities are welcome.  Come to learn, come to 
teach!
