Event Details:

BILLETING: There is still billeting space available: Contact a KitsKicker as soon as possible to arrange snoozing location.
HOTELS/HOSTELS: If you are planning to stay in a hotel, book your room a.s.a.p., as August 2-3 is a holiday weekend in B.C. (the 4th is the holiday) and Vancouver is pretty packed with tourists and travellers in the summer. If you need assistance with finding a hotel/hostel/B&B that is close to the site, contact us.
DIRECTIONS:

TO SUNSET GRILL (Friday) FROM U.S.A.:
The I-5 turns into Hwy 99 after the border. 99 becomes Oak Street after it goes over the Oak Street Bridge. Follow Oak St. as it beelines you toward Vancouver. When downtown vancouver comes into sight ahead of you, be prepared to take a left onto Broadway. Continue along Broadway for 10 blocks or so, then take a right onto Arbutus. Continue on Arbutus for about 10 blocks and take a left onto Cornwall (at the bottom of the hill). You are now at Kits Beach. Go about two blocks along Cornwall, take a left up Yew, and immediately turn right. You are now in front of the Sunset Grill Restaurant. If you can't find a place to park, go back down to the beach to use their parking lot: Definitely buy a ticket to park as they do monitor the area.
TO SITE (Saturday) FROM U.S.A.:
TO SUNSET GRILL (Friday) FROM East:
TO SITE (Saturday) FROM East:

FOOD: There will be some food and drink provided on site; Juice, bottled water, bagels & fixins, fruit. Also there is a stand providing concession-type food by the site. The Cricket Clubhouse is open to the public this weekend! They have BBQ, refreshments, and lunch-type food, and will be open both days. As there are no stores within walking distance, bring what you need with you in the mornings.
LEAVING THE SITE DURING THE TOURNAMENT: Don't do it. Due to the Stanley Park road set-up, the weekend traffic, and parking, it would take you so long to get to a store etc. that you would be scratched from your match loo-oong before you return.
PARKING: Is $5 for the day throughout Stanley Park. The best lot for us is on the North side of Brockton Oval: Drive past the tournament site on the south or city side, take the first left that cuts through the park, then drive past the site on the north or mountain side, and your first left will be the parking lot. Do buy a ticket as they have a full time monitor.
POST-TOURNAMENT RAFTING TRIP!!! ...is being independently organized for Tuesday August 5th. If you are interested, call Scott Milne at (604)736-SCOT or email him at <scott@FootbagCanada.com>.
