Schedule of Events
 Friday Night: Registration Party and Night Ultimate at Laupahoehoe Point starts at 7:00 pm. We will have lots of food, beer, and other drinks at this scenic locale on the Hamakua coast. Also, dancing with a live DJ and our traditional Night Ultimate pick-up game (only for the insane) will kick off this tournament. Camping on Friday and Saturday nights in Laupahoehoe are included in your fee.
Saturday Morning and Afternoon: We provide a light breakfast at the Bayfront Fields by the King Kamehameha statue in Hilo before beginning the tournament in earnest. Plan on playing almost continuously for the better part of the day.
 Saturday Night: Ultimate party on beautiful Coconut Island in Hilo Bay! Food, drinks, and music will be abundant. This will be a really fantastic party that alone will make the trip worth it.
Sunday: After breakfast the games will resume. By early afternoon the semi-finals and championship games will be underway. We’ll be giving out the Spirit Award for the best-spirited participant and trophies for the winning team.
Map and Directions
Directions to Laupahoehoe (Friday night):
From the airport, take the airport road to the first traffic light. At the light take a right onto Kalanianaole Avenue (Highway 11). At the next light, by Ken's House of Pancakes, turn left onto Kamehameha Avenue. Go through the next light. At the following light, turn right to get onto Highway 19 toward the Hamakua Coast and proceed 25 miles to Laupahoehoe.
On the way to Laupahoehoe you will cross two major gulches. The first will be Maulua Gulch and the second will be Laupahoehoe Gulch. You will recognize that you are crossing a major gulch because the road will sweep left into the gulch, curve right 180 degrees around the gulch, and then sweep left out of the gulch.
Shortly after you cross Laupahoehoe Gulch, there will be a sign on the highway pointing to “Laupahoehoe Point.” Take this right (it’s rather sharp) and follow it all the way down. Registration/Dinner/Party/Night Ultimate will be at the end of this narrow road.
