<div>Hello,<br><br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">FIELDS</span><br><br>Change of venue -- we are NOT using Farrer Park.<br><br>The new location is in <a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" href="http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_16852/travel_site_90469/" target="_blank">Anchorvale</a> [click to see map, navigable]. The field is next to (or south of) the Farmway LRT station, which is marked by the target cross-hair. While not a purpose-built sports venue, the open field is large, generally flat and may accommodate more playing fields than Farrer Park.<br>
<br>Coincidentally, the municipal authorities have plans for National Day activities at the field during the same weekend -- Singapore's prime minister is the guest of honour. We are required to tweak some of the tourney schedule and field use around it. These are part of the conditions for granting us access to the Anchorvale field. <br>
<br><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">*IMPORTANT* With the above in mind, we ask everyone to be on your </span><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0); FONT-STYLE: italic">best behaviour throughout the tourney and especially Sunday during the National Day ceremonies with the prime minister in attendance. This is definitely non-negotiable.</span><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"> More details during the captains' meeting at Registration Night.</span><br>
<br>Rest assured that everyone will get your usual quota of games and likely more. We envisage 8am starts, both days; possibly 5/6pm end-time on Saturday, and 6/7pm end-time on Sunday. The pools & schedules are being worked out now. Feedback regarding pools & formats are welcome. [Yoshio's desire for brutal games/scheduling is duly noted ;) ]<br>
<br><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"></span><br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">TRANSPORT</span><br><br>Anchorvale is 30-45 mins by public transport from the city or Little India area.<br>
<ul>
<li>subway/MRT -- $$2-S$3, <a href="http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/transport/trpt_nel_overview.aspx" target="_blank">North East Line (NEL aka "Purple" Line)</a> plus <a href="http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/transport/trpt_lrt_overview.aspx" target="_blank">LRT</a> transfer [click to open links]</li>
<li>taxi -- 4 pax, S$10-S$15, about 15-20+mins by taxi .</li>
<li>factor in some buffer time for ticketing , waiting etc. since it'll be 'peak hour' for about 400+ players converging on Anchorvale.<br></li></ul>We think the public transport options are fine. If you plan your time with some allowance, you should be ok. More information and travel advice will be provided later.<br>
<br><br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">ON-FIELD LOGISTICS</span><br><br>There will be water (bring your bottles/Colemans), ice and fruits. Portable toilets. Large tents. Ambulance & paramedics on standby. <br><br>A doctor (maybe two), plus a physio, who will offer sports massage for a fee. If anyone has special taping needs, please bring your own/additional tape or purchase.<br>
<br>We are looking at providing lunch at the fields, both days -- likely Subway sandwiches.<br><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">*IMPORTANT*</span> <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">If anyone on your team has special dietary restrictions (e.g. halal, vegetarian etc.), please let us know </span><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(255,0,0); FONT-STYLE: italic">by Monday 3rd August</span><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">.

<br>Please check out the information provided below, courtesy of Steinar Cramer: <br><br>----- < snip > -----<br><br>
<div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0px"><span></span><span>There are tons of backpacker places around the Little India area. They probably don't take <span style="BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(0,102,204) 1px dashed">group bookings</span>, but the prices are low enough that you won't need a group rate. Other option is some of the hotels in the area. Easiest thing is to check <a href="http://www.asiarooms.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span>www.asiarooms.com</span></a>. You could try Aspinals, Broadway or Fortuna. There's also Hotel81 Bencoolen, and the Bencoolen. They're not particularly fancy places, but that's what you get in the budget category. Nicer hotels not too far from the fields include Hotel Rendezvous, the <span style="BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(0,102,204) 1px dashed; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">Carlton Hotel</span> ... but definitely more expensive. Best bet is to go onto Asiarooms and just look through the map of the area, read the reviews, etc.</span></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0px"><br></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0px">For the hostels, I can suggest a few places ... all are located max. 15-min walk from fields (or 3-min. taxi ride):</div>

However, if we are given the all-clear, then we should be able to approximate the 6/7-field layout of the last two years.<br>
<br>2. We are working on securing a backup site that is significantly bigger than Farrer Park (fingers crossed).<br><br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Bids:</span><br>Please send me your bids, indicating Mixed (4/3, 3/4) or Open division. This is for initial planning purposes. <br>

<div>Hi folks,<br><br>Many thanks for your replies & queries. My apologies for not replying earlier. We understand the need to finalise details asap so that you may make travel arrangements (and take advantage of some great offers I hear). While I don't wish to bore you with our logistics issues, I think it best that you are informed of our conundrum regarding dates and fields.<br>
<br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Dates: </span>we are working on the basis it's on 8-9 Aug.<br><br>We are unable to confirm 100% because of concerns over the availability of fields.<br><br>The Farrer Park fields (our preferred venue since 2007), which are one of the few public sporting locations in Singapore suitable for an international Ulti tourney, is controlled by the Singapore Sports Council (SSC). SSC has offered us the fields for the 8-9 Aug weekend only -- no other dates are available -- but with a critical proviso.<br>
<br>Another major government agency, the Land Transport Authority (LTA), has on-going work that affects several of the playing fields. The works are scheduled to be completed by end June. However, in the event LTA decides additional work is required, SSC and we have no control over it. We have been trying to work something out in the last couple of months. But, as you may well imagine, convincing two public sector behemoths that Ultimate takes precedence over extensive public works is as challenging as out-partying Bangkok or Manila.<br>
<br>We are exploring alternative venues as backup options. Regrettably, not many sites are suitable for an event like the Singapore Open, with considerations for space, field condition, accessibility, nearby amenities, costs etc. For those with slightly longer memories of the Singapore Open, the Marina South and Sentosa Island venues have long ago been replaced with "development" .<br>
<br>I acknowledge this situation is far from ideal -- certainly not what you would like to hear. We are not happy either. We are trying to fix things soonest possible and will update you when we can. In the meantime, please accept my apologies for the inconvenience to your travel plans.<br>

<div>Hello Asian Ultimate,<br><br>A heads-up: the Singapore Open 2009 is <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">very likely</span> on August 8-9 at the Farrer Park fields (same as last year). We'll update again when it's confirmed.<br>
<br>The dates are earlier than previous editions. We understand it may affect some folks on their summer holidays. Unfortunately, our options this year are severely limited by the availability of fields (totally dependent upon the Singapore Sports Council) and the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan from Aug 21st to Sept 19th.<br>
<br>Format, we are looking at:<br>
<ul>
<li>Mixed division (gender ratio 4/3 or 3/4, offence calls)<br></li>
<li>Open division if there's sufficient demand & space<br></li>
<li>A/B or seeded pools depending on the level & number of teams<br></li></ul>To help with our planning, please would you let us know the interest from your teams -- probable numbers and playing level?<br><br>Many thanks!!<br>
<br>keeks<br>Singapore Ultimate<br><br>P.S. Lance "Romance" Dubos is still the TD; Steinar is still the tallest guy...I'm just helping out :)<br></div></div></div><br>
