Come get a Bug up ya: The season 1 MBB team is open for selection

Well its that time of year again when the Brisbane Premier League teams start gearing up for another tilt at this country's most historic and competitive weekly league.

If you are a frisbee player in Brisbane and interested in the BPL then you should read on and consider this opportunity.

One of the great things about our competition is the balance between history and tradition, and development and progress. We have clubs with uniforms, styles of play, regular rivalries and familiar faces, and we also trial experimental rules, purchase new equipment, regularly debate and modify policies and systems and welcome new teams and ideas.

In 2011 the Buggers are going to try something new with our team building process. Traditionally, like most teams in the league, MBB team lists have been constructed from a group blokes with a shared history and new players have been invited to join the teams when there has been a position available for that season.


This year we are going to open selection for the season 1 Moreton Bay Buggers team to all interested Frisbee players who want to play in the BPL.


If you are new to the competition and are looking for a team, if you have been playing for a while and like the idea of some variety, if you are an old school Bug who has been playing abroad or if you just think you might look ok with a stylised image of a bottom feeding crustacean on your shirt then nominate yourself for selection on the Moreton Bay Buggers.

To be clear this isn't a plan to build some kind of super team or disrupt existing team harmony. More an initiative to freshen up some team lists and to provide an opportunity for any keen rookies or those new in town.

Here is how it will work. If you want to be considered for selection on this season's team then send Mike an email at big_bad_sasquatch@hotmail.com

We'll be accepting nominations for a week or so and we'll let players know quickly so that everyone has time to get onto a team in time for the league start in February.

As always best of luck to all the teams as they finalise their playing rosters and prepare for the season. I'm sure we are all on the cusp of another exciting Brisbane Premier League. The Buggers will see you out there soon.
