Latest NQBA News:

• 30/7/02 – apologies for the recent lack of updates to the site, I’ve been snowed under with schoolwork and other things like that.  I’ve updated that draw and table, and stats will be updated shortly (accurate to as at Round 6).  Any problems, let me know.
• 11/7/02 - the AGM went off without a hitch (as expected). The pizza tasted nice (as expected). Attendance wasn't too bad (as expected). Most newsworthy issues covered. New Executive Committee elected. Minutes will be posted on the 'About' page shortly.
• 10/7/02 - a slight problem with the NQBA forums has now been fixed. Thanks to those people who have signed up and gotten involved with the forums already, it's much appreciated. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go back to the main page and click on the 'NQBA Forums' link to check out (surprisingly enough) the NQBA forums.
• 10/7/02 - the AGM is due to be held at Steve Pilchowski's place tonight. Minutes and talking points of the meeting will be uploaded to this site as soon as I get the time to do them.
• 8/7/02 - the games from Round 4 have been postponed for a week, as the ice rink is being re-painted. Check the draw for more details on when you play who from now on.
• 6/7/02 - we've decided to re-draw one of the games in the upcoming Round 4. Northern Beaches Avalanches and Weak As Piss have swapped timeslots. Check the draw page for details.
• 6/7/02 - a decision has been made by the NQBA to award 0 points to teams that forfeit. The competition table will be updated with these changes. In the past, 1 point (for a loss) has been awarded to forfeiting teams, but this has now stopped. Check the table to see the changes made.
• 1/7/02 - Round 3 of the competition is completed. Unfortunately, two teams failed to show up…luckily they were due to play each other, so no harm done. Check the competition draw for final scores. MVP points have also been allocated from the first games, and will be made available on the player stats page some time in the very near future. Top performers from tonight's action were Scott Fraley of Ergon, who scored 6 goals in their 10-0 victory over QLINK, and to Zen of Broomball, who finally netted their first goals - after weeks of trying - in a 4-2 loss to Team X.
• 29/6/02 - <website news> Many apologies for not being able to update game results, the league tables and the soon-to-arrive player stats page, but there's been some admin problems with confirming some paperwork. I promise, as soon as I have the material, I will enter it into the site. So far, we've had two rounds of action in the competition, the standout teams being the old-timers White Goods and the Stickmen, who are currently undefeated despite form to the contrary. Standout player is our very own All-Star Leanne McCormack, who netted four goals for White Goods in their victory over Ergon last Monday. Also in competition news, we welcome our newest team Zen of Broomball to the ice rink.
• 20/6/02 - the NQBA pitches the 'Charity Challenge' to local media in the north. According to our secretary Angel, the Challenge "will attract public interest in the sport", while she "expects a good crowd in the stands". Of course, stay tuned to the official NQBA site for all the details as they come to hand.

• 17/6/02 - our Queensland Broomball Team returned from action in Adelaide, having had a very successful tournament. Our Mixed team did very well to finish equal second overall, with good showings from all players, while our Women's team also had a great tournament. After combining with the ACT representative team, our girls took out the Women's comp. Leanne McCormack was selected in the All-Star Broomball Team for the competition as well. All in all, a great showing by the team!
