STARTS FRIDAY / Richmond, VA, USA

--> event website

Circle, 4 square,

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/

Details:

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.

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 <a href="http://minimum-
bouldering.ch/">http://minimum-bouldering.ch/</a> .

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 <a href="http://www.roll-laden.tv/">http://www.roll-
laden.tv/</a>. 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): <a href="https://e-gov.stadt-
zuerich.ch/pavwww/uc202tagesbewilligung/Disclaimer.do">https://e-gov.stadt-
zuerich.ch/pavwww/uc202tagesbewilligung/Disclaimer.do</a> .
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", <a href="http://www.popupzh.ch/">www.popupzh.ch</a> . 
It's basically only across the Hardbrücke from the gym, but this bridge stretches over 2kilometers. It's a 
visually stimulating walk, though.
