Magnitude 15 - May 22, 2009
Seattle Quake Rugby | Bi-Annual Rugby Tournament
About the Tournament: 10 of North America’s most competitive predominantly gay rugby clubs will participate in the 2009 Magnitude 15’s biennial rugby union tournament. Teams from Seattle, Minneapolis, New York, Phoenix, San Francisco, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Diego will visit Seattle, WA from May 22-24, 2009 to participate two full days of competitive rugby union football.
The Seattle Quake Rugby Football Club has hosted this event since 2003 and this year has opened up the tournament to all IGRAB teams from the United States and Canada. In addition, the Quake will be live-blogging the tournament in order to bring a greater awareness to the highly competitive game of rugby union football as played by mostly gay teams here in North America.
The Quake will have bloggers on site at the tournament on both Saturday and Sunday 05/23 and 05/24. According to Jeff Wilson, “The intent is to have scores, photos and some live video posted to the www.magnitude15.org live as it happens.” According to Wilson, The blog will be less of a play by play and more of a stream of consciousness but in a structured format. The quake are no strangers to using social media as a means to …also have a twitter account set up and have created a “hashtag” called (#mag15), which will allow players and fans to post content about the tournament on the live blog. The intent here is to promote the “hashtag” at our opening night kick-off party and get fans on site “tweeting” about the matches and the event as it happens”.
