Crunch - Ultimate Frisbee Amsterdam
New to this year's windmill: we will sell quiches with fresh salad for a modest price in the main tent. Hungry travelers from all over Europe can enjoy tasty quiches upon arrival. No need to eat overpriced and not-so-tasty meals at a Raststätte or Aire along the highway.
Registration will be open from 18:00 to 23:00, register your team if you can to avoid lines on Friday morning. Afterwards, meet & greet all your ulti-friends, grab a Belgium beer and enjoy the tunes of DJ Mike Palmer.

After the games, feel free to kick back and relax at the fields. Share a few beers with your team and fellow ultimate players. Limited amounts of handmade pizza will be for sale for dinner, and we will fire up the BBQ as well. Preorder pizzas in the registration tent.
From 19:00 to 21:00 trials for the Charity Pull competition will take place. Check out the Open Arms Malawi Pull Contest, sponsored by Bugaboo International BV. Winners get the glory, Windmill gear AND raise money for a great cause.
The Big Tipi will be host to a number of visual frolics, like the soccer matches and some cool ulti-footage! On Friday we will also have a Dutch artist doing a Live Paint Performance, blasting image and mind twirls and sazzles on to the wall and into your mind. All will be edged by a lazy crazy soundtrack, taking you to the eternal Frisbee fields or beyond... .
From 21:00 to 23:00 we will continue with our latest Windmill tradition: the Pub Quiz. For this year's edition we have updated the questions, the hosts and the Belgium beers!
Teams can also make their way by Bus (see directions section of the site) to the city center to taste some eclectic international cuisines. Restaurants in the center (specifically the Nieuwmarkt area) are listed on the Amsterdam page.

On Saturday, Party at the fields!
What better way to start day 2 at the Windmill Windup with a relaxing session of yoga? Yoga is a perfect way to relax your muscles, warm up the body and focus the mind. We invite you to a 30 minute stretch with a certified yoga instructor, who will guide you through all the positions. Needless to say, our Yoga session won't cost you a dime.
During dinner we will have the boys from Amsterdam based TenTemPies provide sweet Spanish summer sounds straight from the Corazon for all to enjoy and get the digestive system functioning again. Feel free to join their enthusiasm and start your dance moves early or kick back with your plate and enjoy talking to the new friends you made on the field.
You don't have to miss much of the WC football in South-Africa. All games will be shown in the Big Tipi right across the main tent. So bring your national colors and cheer for your nation! All games are on big screen.
We kick the night of with the 6th edition remodeled Massively Intense Mingle Mingle, a huge gathering of people dancing and mingling with other teams to only be stopped by the call of positions by the loud mouth announcer. The game is simple, grab yourself a random partner, arrange yourselves into the called out positions. Prizes for the winning duo.
Next is a new and improved version of the Beer Race. No more Stroopwafles, Tom Poezen, cartwheels, or Bikes. Just you, your teammate, a slippery slope and some beers. This is the opportunity to wake up, if dinner made you a bit drowsy!
Then, the PARTY! Fully warmed up after the beer race, the boys from KNOBSTICKER will kick the party in to high gear with two lumberjacks from the woods of Rekçitsbonk delivering music for you to dance to. Disco and electrotunes will fill the windmill ears. Once you're in full swing, Windmill's own DJ Team will rip up the dance floor with some choice tunes that will keep your feet bouncing till the early morning. Keep your ears open for the classic Chocomel Chug, which will offer more prizes and hilarity.
