2012 Zodiac

What's Going On?

The fall equinox is fast approaching and that can only mean one thing: time for the 2012 Zodiac Tournament. After a great tournament in Rochester, N.Y. last year (and it is always a great tournament :-), Zodiac returns to Toronto. A truly international celestial ultimate event.

For those of you unfamiliar with Zodiac, it is a 2-day, very spirited, co-ed (4/3) twelve-team hat tournament. Each player signs up as an individual and is put on a team with fellow players of the same zodiac sign. This year, we are going with the Chinese Zodiac instead of the Modern Zodiac used in past years.

The tournament was the brainchild (and hard work!) of Toronto's celestial gurus Bob Anglin and Brian Parkinson. After the 3rd year in Toronto, it was decided to make the tournament a truly international affair by alternating the locale between Toronto and Rochester. Although Bob and Brian are no longer with the tournament, their spirit lives on!

Zodiac attracts a mixture of all levels of players from experienced touring players to new recreational level players. Although the team you are on was determined long ago by fate, it is only through your own free will (and a small amount of money) that you will become part of this unique celestial event. You don't want to miss out on all the fun!!!

All the information you need is available (or soon will be) on this page and the handbook page, which you can print out. Be sure to also check out the teams page (once registration opens), which has information about the teams and the pools for Saturday play.
