2020 Barrier Reef Tournament - Expression of Interest

SUBC is currently investigating the feasibility of sending a representative side to participate in the Barrier Reef Tournament 2020, in beautiful Cairns, North Queensland.

The tournament is scheduled for Wednesday 10th to Saturday 13th of June 2020.

The plan is to obtain expressions of interest from our current playing/official roster, as soon as possible, to then formalise a squad as the winter season starts.

Teams in the tournament include representative teams from Cairns and Townsville, who maintain a rivalry that shadows the QLD-NSW State of Origin rivalry, a NSW Country team on their way to a European Championship tournament, and others. The competition level will be a good challenge for our Cynics, with the expected variability of opposition teams meaning we can accommodate all members of the Cynics squad who make the trip up north.

For those who have been to Uni Games (Aus Uni Championships) or the Hong Kong trips mentioned above, this tournament aims to be the same high quality on and off the field, with opportunities for picturesque sightseeing in the tournament downtime.

Estimated costs per person is roughly $1,000, which includes flights, accommodation, team mini bus and tournament costs.

Registering is just an expression of interest, and you are under no obligations. The information will make it easier to follow up with tournament registration, which, if we are able to fill our players & officials roster, we will send further details and ask for deposits at a later date.
