<title>The 10th Annual Hackrifice Open Footbag Championship</title>
<link>http://www.footbag.org/events2/show/1208064566?ver=2</link>

FREESTYLE: Routines, Shred 30, Rippin' Run.</pre></p>&lt;p&gt;It's been 10 years since the first Hackrifice footbag tournament was held in Winnipeg back in '99, 
and 12 years since the inception of Hackrifice F.C. While other canadian events have come and gone 
we've managed to survive an entire decade of events, thanks mostly to the dedication of a small 
group of prairie kickers who, come september, drive 30+ hours down the most desolate strip of 
highway known to man for our weekend event. 
For our decennial anniversary, we want to throw the best weekend event we can to say THANK YOU 
to those kickers past and present who gave us a reason to keep throwing our jam. We also wish to 
invite every one across Canada, the USA, and the world to come out and celebrate our 10th birthday 
in style!

<title>The 2008 Second City Cup presented by CLCK</title>
<link>http://www.footbag.org/events2/show/1216742033?ver=2</link>
<description><h2>September 20-21, 2008 / Chicago, IL, USA (Union Park)</h2><p align="right" style="width: 15em; overflow: wrap;"><pre>Singles Net, "King of the Court" Doubles Net.  
We may elect to do a more standard doubles bracket if we 
get a lot of out-of-town players, but that decision won't 
be made until the day of the tournament.</pre></p><h3>Details:</h3><pre>That's right folks! The city of Chicago now hosts not one but TWO annual 
footbag net tournaments. The Chicago Lake Coast Kickers are proud to announce 
the 2008 Second City Cup to be held at Union Park in Chicago on September 20-
21.

The Second City Cup is a no-frills net tournament. We are not getting park 
permits or event insurance. We're doing the whole tournament at our prelims 
site, and there will be no banners, no bleachers, no PA system, no "special" 
finals court, no entry fees or prize money, and no big promotions. It will 
have great people, great players, and a great atmosphere for fun and friendly 
competition. (And it's sanctioned by the IFPA!)  We will run a single 
elimination bracket for singles net, and we will most likely do a "King of 
the Court" format for doubles net. 

Our other event, The Windy City Cup, requires hours and hours of planning and 
is designed to increase exposure to the public.  But the Second City Cup is 
strictly for the players. It promises to be a stress-free weekend of great 
footbag net action.

Can't wait to see you there! (If you are not from the area but are interested 
in coming out, give me a call or drop me an email and I'll find you a place 
to stay while you're in town.) </pre>&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.footbag.org/events2/show/1216742033"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;</description>

Melbourne Footbag Jam. Our aim is to make it inclusive of everyone, from
hardcore shredders to casual hackysackers. To do this we are coming up with a
circle kicking comp (actual kicking, not shred) and we are also changing the
routine length. The event will still cater for the shredders as well with
routines, sick 3 and sick 1 plus heaps of random shred. The event is open to
everyone, not just club members, so get everyone you know who likes to hack to
come along. Details of the event are bellow and may change as everything is
finalised. The venue hasn't been finalised yet but it will most likely be
somewhere at Melbourne Uni. I hope everyone can make it.
