HOMEGROWN DREAMS BECOME A REALITY

Meet Braedan.

Since they were kids, Braedan and his mate George have dreamt of running a sporting carnival that showcased the very best of First Nations talent.

That dream is now becoming a reality, with Australia’s first-ever First Nations Dreamtime Knockout, and it will be held in Townsville.

We are supporting regional events through the Homegrown Destination Event Fund, securing Townsville's reputation as Sporting and Events Capital of the North, and helping locals like Braedan turn big ideas into opportunities that inspire the next generation of sporting stars! 🏆🏉

Introducing our Ranking Round ⚡️

Teams will be drawn out into two pools at our draw night. Teams will play one round game before being ranked from 1-16 in their respective pools. Teams will then begin the knockout stages playing Pool A 1st vs Pool B 16th and so on. A visual will drop this week which will explain this.

The reason for this change is to look after our teams. Teams will now play a minimum of 2 games making it worth the trip to Townsville.

Same knockout energy and same prize money 🔥

Still some team spots available. Get into contact with us at [email protected] for a nomination pack 👀
