The 3rd edition of the Montreal Challenge of Footbag will be even better than the first 2 events. We have secured the best site in the City - right downtown of course. Le Gesu is a well known theatre / bar with over 400 seats.

****This is the biggest footbag show after the World Championships! You cannot miss it!****

This is a one day event. Competition on Saturday night only. We will be shredding on Friday, Saturday and Sunday though.

The player's party will be at Les Foufounes Électriques on Saturday night. And for those who don't remember much of last year's party : it's 1 $/beer! No cover charge!

The Shred Zone offers floor space to shred on Friday and Saturday. We will be at the tam-tam Jam on Sunday.

These renowned shredders have confirmed they will attend...

Gesù.  The have meat and veggie meals for 10$.   Players are required 
to register at the latest during the meeting.

HOST HOTEL
We strongly suggest L'appartement hotel.  They have great fares for 
even greater rooms.  All the rooms in the hotel have a small kitchen and 
living room.  So much better than a regular hotel.  Prices range from 150 
to 200$ / night.  (in CND$). For reservations call 514-284-3634.  The 
hotel is within 5 minutes walking fro the tournament site.

If you're travelling on a tight budget I can suggest the only youth hostel in 
Montreal.  They have dorms, single, and double bed private rooms.  
Prices 
range from 27$ to 68$ per night.  For reservations call 1-866-843-3317.  
The youth hostel is within 20 minutes walking from the tournament site.
